Former President John Dramani Mahama has attacked the Akufo-Addo led-government for taking credit in solving the power crisis (dumsor) that hit the country for well over three years.
According to him, the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) has no hand in solving the power crisis, asserting that Ghana is enjoying stable power supply mainly because of the efficient power plants his administration brought into the country.
Presenting the 2018 budget in Parliament, the Finance Minister, Ken Ofori Atta among other things announced that government has finally solved the power crises as promised.
“When I presented the budget in March, I indicated our commitment to take strategic steps to fix the challenges facing the economy and restore hope to Ghanaians. “I’m happy to note that we have turned the economy around. We have achieved in one year, what seemed impossible to achieve in eight years’’
“We’ll like to assure Ghanaians that the government of President Nana Akufo Addo is a government which delivers on its promises, we promised to end dumsor and we’ve done that,” Hon. Ken Ofori Atta noted.
But former President Mahama while addressing members of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) UK branch, said Ghana will zoom into power crisis as soon as the power plants he established are turned off for a moment, wondering how the NPP can claim it has solved ‘dumsor’ in such a situation.
“Take Ameri, switch it off, take Karpower, switch it off, take KTPP, switch it off, take Asogli Phase 2, switch it off and see if Ghana won’t go back to dumsor…we’ll go straight back to dumsor, no curve no bend. So how could you have solved dumsor. Show me one megawatt of power that has been added since NPP assumed office. we had a deficit, and today some of these plants we brought are the most efficient and they are working to ensure that we have power. The way they (government) are going they are likely to run us into dumsor, because of this populist reduction in tariffs.”

Npp is already in opposition ,
Did you use your pocket money to purchase it? Reckless statement
How does insulting John Mahama a de to power generation? NPP is speeding into opposite. It hurts me that NDC will come back to rule because we are repeating their mistakes.
NPP hates the truth thinking that by insulting HE John Mahama they will remain in power. The question is, how did you end dumsor,? What did you add to the power generation . Just list them and stop the insults. I have regretted voting for arrogant NPP
Hahahahaha, eiii what a former President. I shock sef
because of this man, ndc will rotttt in opposition. they never learn. soooo irresponsibleeee but they should know that ghana now means serious business and no more th1veryyyy
If Mahama thinks the power plants belong to him, he should forget coming back to seek re-election. Ghana's presidency is the flagstaff house which was built by Kufuor so where is he going to work from? the govt house he lived was built by a past govt, the road infront of his house was built by a past govt, the water he drinks and bath with his family was set up by a past govt. Mahama is gyimifuoooo paaaaaaa, he doesn't deserve to be called Ghanaian. ***barred word*** kwa, tani aboaaaaaa....
Another reckless statement by a previous national leader who still engages in sarcastic reasoning and insults
Such an idi*t was the president if Ghana who wanted to be retained. Ghanafuo did well by being smarter than the fo*ls and booted them out. The day I found this man searching for his script in the presence of the ECOWAS leaders was the day of shame for Ghana, where did you pluck this thing to be president of Ghana to disgrace this country? Eeeiii! Ata Mills nso so ay3 as3m ooo!look at the man he plucked to be his running mate and Vice president and killed him to be the President disgrace and shame he put and is still putting on the seat of government! Such a man is still forcing to be a flag bearer for the unattractive ndc party, no wonder the founder is mad on those he call with no integrity. John mahama has no shame and he thinks ndc is part of his father's estate so it is his bona-fide property, if he has forgotten I'm reminding him he is not part of Jerry Rawlings kinship, we have Dr. Zenator Agyeman Rawlings, Yaa Asantewaa, Amina and Kimathi who are the rightful heir to his property ndc included so somebody tell that man, Ghanaians have disgraced because of his low IQ and bitterness to give us a break!!!! If any claims to anything done by presidents of Ghana are to be made then who told him to live at the Jubilee house, was that built by the ndc or by him? This man has no shame and very childish, is this the one and only thing ndc has to compete with Nana Addo in 2020? Hahahaha! and is this one they ndc believe NPP are scared of, why not ? every wise person is scared of a fo*l because he can twist good things to make them fo*lish and unattractive. Ghanaians have grown past being deceived to accept idi*ts and thi*ves as leaders. 2020 is about 2 years 8 months more and the 54% which is intact will be increased to show to those idi*ts who think we all play the same game that not all umbrellas are equal. Who will leave wisdom for a fo*l!ndc will rot in opposition
I've always said Mahama talks like a child.
