According to former president John Dramani Mahama, if he had been responsible for even a small portion of the chaos the current administration, in his opinion, has brought about, Ghanaians would have crucified him.
In an interview with KSM on Pan-Africa TV on Tuesday, July 25, 2023, Mr. Mahama noted that the governing party has a deliberate propaganda strategy to compare the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in order to mislead Ghanaians into voting for them to remain in power.
“They [NPP] have created a crisis of confidence in the population in our democracy because now it’s easy for Ghanaians to think that politicians are liars; they’ll just lie for political power. If I did one-tenth of what they have done these last eight years, I’m sure that I would have been pilloried and crucified on a cross by now. There’s a bit of hypocrisy in it.”
According to Mahama “It’s NPP propaganda…they are in their mess, and they want to draw everybody else into the same mess,”.
“They [NPP] are happy to push that mantra and make it look like, ‘Oww, you’re better off staying with us because if the NDC comes, it will be the same.’ That is the psychology of the propaganda they are doing, It’s not the same.” Mr Mahama stated.
The 2024 flagbearer of NDC continued “has a track record: We have given more Ghanaians electricity than any party in this country. Rawlings started the national and rural electrification programmes which have brought Ghana to above 80 per cent of electricity coverage among the top 10 in Africa.”
“We started the digital revolution in this country. I was the Minister of Communication when we divided post and telecommunications and created Ghana Telecom and allowed Spacefon and all the mobile operators to come in. We started laying fibre optics in this country. We did the eastern corridor fibre optic” Mr Mahama said.
