Aspiring National Democratic Congress (NDC) Presidential Candidate, John Dramani Mahama says the country’s cocoa sector is on the verge of collapse because of the mismanagement of the ruling government.
Addressing party supporters and branch executives at the start of a two-day campaign tour of the Western North Region, Mr. Mahama said: "Under the previous NDC administration, we ensured that there was an upward adjustment in the producer price every year. But that is not the case with this government. Price adjustments are taking place after four years. This is what is collapsing the sector"
Mr. Mahama says the sector must be supported, noting that some farmers no longer find farming cocoa lucrative.
The former president is visiting all nine constituencies in the region and is expected to continue to the Ashanti Region.

The NDC's electoral defeat must have been written in their faces by now. A political party going into an election without a political message through policies is just like an army going into war without weapons. We saw what he did in the cocoa sector when he was in power. And the situation wasn't better than now, so what is he going to do this time that Ghanaians should vote for him? I do not understand why the NDC is failing to appreciate that Dr. Duffuor is better placed to lead the NDC than Mahama, upon look of his loose statements.
C0rrupt and incompetent man get lost. You have no message for voters.
You are traveling around the country, and all you can talk about is Akuffo Addo. What at all is your message? Akuffo Addo will not be there in 2025, so why all the time on him? Meanwhile, when you were leaving office all developmental indicators were in the negative. You did not achieve any of the things you are accusing Nana Addo of not achieving.
This John Mahama as nd his NDC are very weak opposition. They will loose big time
