Back in 2008, and vying to be elected on the ticket of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) as running mate, John Dramani Mahama had short thrift by the then NPP government of having delivered great infrastructure for Ghana.
Hear him, "I think that's petty and is stuck in the kind of past mentality that we've had: that a government's achievements are based on the infrastructure that it provides. yes, government is supposed to provide infrastructure. But every government adds unto the infrastructure. And any government that succeeds Kuffour will add on to the Wonderful place.
"A person would be an ostrich to say that President Kuffour has not achieved anything. He has achieved significantly in infrastructure. But what I say is if President Rawlings did not build the road from Makola to Tetteh Quarshie, President Kufuor would not have been able to build the road from Tetteh Quashie to Mamfe. He would have had to go and start from Makola.
"And so I think that the challenges that face this country are new and we must not get stuck in the past and talk about comparing, you know, records, and that this election is about comparing records. i think it's about more than that. It's about what the wishes and aspirations of the people of this country are, you know, going forward."
But commissioning the Kwame Nkrumah Circle Interchange recently, President Mahama was full of praise for himself, saying that the construction of the kwame Nkrumah Interchange created thousands of jobs and would do more in the coming days.
He said the project would open up the country to its neighbors for improved trade as well as reduce the time Ghanaians spend commuting to work.
The million dollar question is whether the same type of infrastructure in times past did not provide the same benefits. If they surely did, then why did he condemn the Kufuor government then? Just to score points for votes.?

MASSA PLS BE CURRENT. THIS WAS PRODUCED BY CITI FM. IT WAS AN INTERVIEW WITH RICHARD DELA SKY. IT IS BECAUSE OF PEOPLE LIKE YOU THAT WE HAVE THESE NATION WRECKERS OF NDC AT POST.
mahama does not even know his left from his right. John Rawlings did 8 years, John Mills did 3 years, 5years and john mahama did 4 years. This is the meaning of John 3:16 (3) Johns total years ruled 8+3,5+4,5=16) If we should give john mahama another 4 years, it becomes john 3:20: It reads, "all who do evil hate the light and refuse to go near it for fear their sins will be exposed".
OBIARA NIM SE 3Y3 MAHAMA AAAA NA 3KO. AGAINST WILL DIE
Please if you don't know or haven't listened, just say so. He made the statement in 2008 at the Assemblies of God Church. Audios are available. Lets just accept the truth and hold Governments accountable no matter which party wins.
Can NPP communication Directorate piece together videos of Mahamah's failed promises before and after 2012 with his current promises and conclude do you trust that liar of a president for commercials ? Please this is simple and effective. Example; 10 training colleges, i will put money in your pockets 2016, shs will not work, i will create 3million jobs in my second term, his current posture against Nana's 1 factory one million, etc. pleese,!
This tells you how hypocrite President Mahama is.
Mahama is just insincere to Ghanaians. How can he be for something he was against in the past. Tongues don't rot. Let your word be your bond always Mr Prez. Consistency is very crucial. Change is surely coming. God save mother Ghana from this wicked, corrupt & incompetent Prez & his gov't.
Great to have leaders who build infrastructures for the country to roll on.Kuffour explored the oil(nay) the' economic' infrastructure. Yet you advocated,ranted,urged that they be voted out.AND they were voted out after eight years, inspite of the oil find and weaning Ghana out of IMF. You took us back to IMF,borrowed massively, to build a few road and physical infrastructures at over-bloated prices and you want to remain in power after eight years. What an irony.God help GHANA
