The ruling New Patriotic Party has appealed to Ghanaians not to make the “biggest mistake” again of entrusting the country’s resources, its future into the hands of John Mahama and his NDC.
The NPP said the previous Mahama administration virtually grounded the economy by taking oil-rich Ghana from a growth path of 14% to 3.4%.
Speaking at a press conference in Accra Sunday, April 7, 2019, the General Secretary of the party, John Boadu said Mahama has nothing new to offer Ghanaians other than the incompetence and corruption Ghanaians witnessed under his tenure.
“Say No to a redenominated candidate (Mahama) for he never changes. Mahama - the Value is the Same. More importantly, the NDC alternative under Mahama is still scary,” he stated.
According to Mr. Boadu, the record of Ghana’s Fourth Republic in the areas of growth and economy is obvious that the NPP builds and develops while the NDC has a penchant to destroy and erode the gains made.
“NDC took us to HIPC but did not have the courage to admit it even though it was under an IMF programme in 2000. It took President Kufuor to have the bulk of Ghana’s debt written off and get Ghana out of the IMF programme. Not only that, NPP, through the focused operations of GNPC, made Ghana an oil-rich nation but left office before a single barrel of Jubilee oil could be produced.
“Also, the NPP under President Kufuor left office with Ghana’s first credit rating taking us to B+. Before that we were not even rated. Credit rating is necessary for both government and business to transact business and borrow internationally.
“After eight years of NDC economic management, our rating went down from B+ to B-. Yes, B minus under John Mahama! After only 20 months of NPP under Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, we have already been upgraded from B- to B. Our upgraded credit ratings earned us an oversubscribed Eurobond issue in multiples of seven at the lowest coupon rate and longer maturity Ghana has ever had,” he explained.
The NPP’s general secretary was amused that instead of apologising to Ghanaians on how he wasted public funds, Mr. Mahama is busy using those same dubious infrastructure projects at “outrageous inflated prices” as his 2020 campaign.
“This is the height of reckless arrogance,” Mr. Boadu said.

FORMER PRESIDENT KUFFUOR DURING HIS 1999 CAMPAIGN FOR THE PRESIDENT OF GHANA SAID "HW3 WO A SITINA MU N3 TO ABA" LITERALLY MEANING , CONSIDER YOUR STANDARD OF LIVING OR CONSIDER THE COST OF LIVING BEFORE YOU VOTE. HISTORY ALWAYS REPEATS ITSELF. THE WORDS OF FORMER PRESIDENT KUFFUOR IN 1999 ARE VERY RIPE TODAY. OUR STANDARD OF LIVING OR THE COST OF LIVING WILL GUIDE US IN USING OUR THUMBS WISELY AND NOT MAKE THE MISTAKES OF 2016 REPEAT THEMSELVES AGAIN
Work and stop the talk talk. Focus and leave the opposition. I could see that you are getting fear and panic. You could even be the one that invented democracy who cares at the end of the day we will look at out state to decide who to vote for. Already some of us have regretted trusting in you guyz. most have lost their jobs and you dont care but your family members are enjoying. We are not ***barred word*** to be directed who to vote for or not. We are wise to decide who to vote for so Shuuuut upppppppp
WHAT HAS NDC OFFERED GHANAIANS OF THEIR 27 YEARS PLUS RULE COMPARED TO NPP 10 YEARS. TWICE SENDING GHANA TO IMF WHEN THEY MET MONEY AND MEAT. NOW THAT MAHAMA HAS CONFIRMED CHEWING ALL THE MEAT LEAVING THE BONES ,WHERE WILL HE SEND GHANA TO IF YOU VOTE FOR HIM.THE HARDSHIPS WE ARE ALL IN ARE THEIR POOR MANAGEMENT OF OUR DEAR COUNTRY. BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU ARE ASKING FOR.
Re denominated currency, re denominated mahama. He is coming big time
We are not voting because of Mahama if that is your thinking. We are voting because of reality on the ground under the government of the day. Not some percentage figures which is of no benefit to us.
You see God in his own wisdom is exposing the npp. You are saying Ghanaians should say no to redenominated mahama, but what you have forgotten is that, president kuffour redenominated the Ghana cedi. If redenomination is bad then I can conclude that the npp government redetermination of the cedi is why we are suffering. Ediot!
St..u.p.idi.t.y. You think Ghanaians dont have brai ns to think? Your backward and propaganda government,who likes it.even we the Npp will reject you.start packing. JM is far more better.If l.i.a.r Bawumia and weak A.Addo can be president, why cant the tried and tested one. Ghanaians deserve better.John Boadu,your press conference was bogus.
Even the thrash recycled Akufo Addo has become president
Eric or whoever Fee Sh INDEED
