The presidential nominee of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP), Nana Akufo-Addo, has stated that, President John Mahama’s continuous stay in office after the December elections, will threaten Ghana’s future.

According to him, every sector of the Ghanaian economy, over the last 8 years, has witnessed constant decline, coupled with the collapse of every social intervention programme implemented by the Kufuor government.

Speaking at a rally in the Tema West Constituency in the Greater Accra Region, Akufo Addo appealed to Ghanaians to save the country by voting out President Mahama in this year’s elections.

“We have to save Ghana from John Dramani Mahama, and secure the future of our country. The continuous stay in office of John Dramani Mahama is a threat to the future of our country. That is why in December, Ghanaians are voting for change. We (in the NPP) are coming to change Ghana, and bring in a government that is going to return the country onto the path of progress and prosperity,” he said.

Akufo-Addo also appealed to Ghanaians to ensure that, the NPP is given a chance to turn around the fortunes of Ghana since to him, the NDC has nothing good for them.

“He [President Mahama] says despite all these years he has spent in office, he wants another 4 years so he can show to Ghanaians what he will do for them. In 8 years, we don’t know what they have done for the people, and he wants another 4 years?” he asked.

What does Mahama want to continue?

The NPP flagbearer further wondered why the NDC was seeking another them despite retrogressing the country.

“What does he want to continue? Is it the ‘dumsor’? Is it the record levels of unemployment? Today the NHIS has collapsed. Is this what he wants to continue? When schools reopen, every parent is in tears because there is no money to pay fees. Is this what he wants to continue?”
