Former president John Dramani Mahama has stated that, the current Akufo Addo administration during the 2016 election campaign towards the general elections promised Ghanaians with what he calls "the moon" although the citizens are yet to see "the clouds".
By this comment, Mr Mahama has explained that, the current administration is yet to fulfill the promises they made to the people of the country.
Speaking at the unity walk, the 6th organised so far at Somanya earlier today, President Mahama said, “If you take the 2016 elections, we lost more than 1 million votes. It means that many of our supporters refused to come out and vote. I want to apologize to everybody and forget about what anybody did to you. It might have been your party Chairman, your party secretary. It might have been me. I want to apologize.”
Speaking further, he has stated that He has rendered an unqualified apology to the party favourites who might have been angered and therefore failed to participate in the 2016 elections to overlook the mistakes the NDC did and join efforts to lead the party to victory in the 2020 general elections.
He then said the NDC lost the elections due to the apathy created in the ranks of the party.
He said, “NPP did not win that election; we lost it because apathy was created in our ranks. Many of our people said they will not come out and vote.”
Moreover, Mr Mahama has said that, considering the look of the current state of the country and comparing it to the promises received by the citizens, the Nana Addo administration has failed Ghanaians.
He said, “NPP promised the moon but has not even delivered clouds and so it makes your goodwill dwindle so fast …I know that when we were here, we were working on asphalt upgrading roads in Somanya and Odumase. I saw the contractor’s asphalt plants parked by the roadside and you will be surprised that for nearly two years the contractors have not been paid their money and so the work has come to a standstill”.
The NDC lost the 2016 general elections with a total percntage of 44.40% as against the New Patriotic Party's (NPP) 53.80% of the total percentage of the vote cast.

This man knows no shame. After the high level of incompetence displayed and the unprecedented corruption he supervised, he still goes round campaigning for political power. I pray that he leads the NDC in the 2020 election. I bet him, the 1million difference he suffered in the 2016 election will increase to over 2million. That will surely lead to his political oblivion.
THE 1,000,000 VOTERS WILL COME OUT IN 2020 AND VOTE. THE ROADS WILL BE BUILT. THE FARMS WILL BE DEVELOPED. THE SCHOOLS. CLINICS. WATER. EMPLOYMENT. KEEP WALKING AND MARCHING AROUND THE WALLS OF JERICHO. SILENTLY. QUIETLY. ONE-DAY AT A TIME. SOON AND VERY SOON. THE WALLS WILL COME TOMBELLING DOWN. TRUTH. FREEDOM. PEACE.
MAHAMA TELL THEM O, WE THOUGHT GHANA WILL BECOME A LITTLE HEAVEN, APUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU KAPUEPUE TALK

MY LAND LANDY IN GOASO WHO IS A VERY STRONG BELIEVER IN THE NPP WHEN THE WERE IN OPPOSITION USED TO SAY "NDC ABAN WE DIE O MA YE HO KYERE YE TOO MUCH" NOW THE SAME PERSON IS CRYING " SESIE DIE YEN HO NIE EKOSO.

THEN I WOULD SOLILOQUIZE "A DIA EN CHI YE" MEANING THE DAY HASN'T BROKEN YET BUT THAT THE WORSE IS YET TO SHOW UP. WE KNOW THE NPP BY THE COLOURS AND THAT IT IS ONLY THE STANGER IN JERUSALEM WHO DOES NOT KNOW THE NPP TRUE COLOURS AND WILL ASKING PEOPLE TO KNOW. THEY CAN CONTINUE TO SLEEP ON THE JOB AND DREAM THINKING THAT GHANAIANS ARE ALSO SLEEPING. THE HARMATHAN WIND IS GATHERING WIND AND DUST AND WILL SWEEP ACCRSS GHANA LIKE A TONADO COME GENERAL ELECTIONS 2020. FOURTEEN MONTHS DOWN THE DESTRUCTION ROAD FOR NANA AKUFO-ADDO AND HIS PERSONAL PROPERTY, THE NPP. THEY ARE SPEEDING DOWN THE DESTRUCTION ROAD AT THEIR OWN PERIL

"I know that when we were here, we were working on asphalt upgrading roads in Somanya and Odumase. I saw the contractor’s asphalt plants parked by the roadside and you will be surprised that for nearly two years the contractors have not been paid their money and so the work has come to a standstill”. This is loose talk JM.. if you had paid for the contract you gave, I guess the contractor couldn't have abandoned the work for no payment. .I now understand why people insult you.
You will never see because you are blind, you hear what you want to hear from your damn st*pid advisers because they know you can't think for yourself. Ghanaians are never prepared to hand over their country to unrepentant ***barred word*** who have no remorse for their evil deeds to Ghana. Those who voted for change haven't regretted whatsoever for voting to send ndc away and we will vote against ndc again to keep them in perpetual opposition. Evil ndc party
