Former President John Dramani Mahama has stated that Ghanaians have realized President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo is a bad leader.
He was responding to Mr. Akufo-rhetorical Addo’s question to the NDC to name a single policy initiative that they implemented while in power. While speaking to supporters of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) at the national Delegates Conference in Kumasi on Sunday, December 19, President Akufo-Addo inquired about the one policy that the NDC and former President John Mahama have considered in their five years of opposition.

“No administration in the Fourth Republic has spent more money on improving the lives of our people than we have.” So, when you leave here, be proud that you have created a government that has worked more to improve people’s lives than any previous administration in the country’s history.
“All the things that we have done in government are things we thought about while in opposition, what is the one policy that the NDC and their leader John Mahama have thought about in five years that they have been in opposition. There is not one policy, the answer is zero,” the President said.
Mr Mahama replied him saying, if only Mr Akufo-Addo took a moment, in the comfort of his chartered jet, to read the People’s manifesto, he would have at least learnt about the policies introduced by the NDC.
“I think the President must take his responsibilities seriously and focus on working to change the circumstances of our people, rather than the rabble-rousing skits he serves the nation.
“To answer his rhetorical question on policy, if only he took a moment, in the comfort of his chartered jet, to read the People’s manifesto, he would have at least learnt about the ‘Big Push’ (an accelerated infrastructure plan for Ghana), ‘Free Primary Health Care Plan’, the ‘1 million jobs plan’, ‘Ghana FIRST’ (Framework for Industrial Revitalisation, Support and Transformation) and several other well-thought-through and costed policies.
“I am willing to provide him with an autographed copy of the manifesto. With his speech of yesterday, he has carved his niche as a good campaigner, but unfortunately a poor leader as Ghanaians have found out at great cost,” Mr Mahama said in a Facebook post.
