"Where are the factories? Where are the dams? Where are the warehouses? Where is the one million dollars per constituency?" These are the questions that former President John Dramani Mahama is asking the Akufo-Addo government.
Addressing delegates of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in Tatale constituency, ahead of the party’s flagbearership race, Mr Mahama said he has yet to see a single factory from the One-District-One-Factory NPP manifesto promise.
It would be recalled that earlier this year, the Vice-President, Dr Mahamadu Bawumia reiterated government's resolve to construct 570 dams under the One-Village-One-Dam policy initiative.
The construction of the dams will begin this year, 2018, according to the Vice-President.
Ahead of the 2016 presidential and parliamentary elections, the then main opposition party, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) led by Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo made a promise to construct dams in every village in the three Northern Regions as a way of supporting farming in these communities all year round.
Speaking at the annual “Paarigbielle” festival of the chiefs and people of the Tumu Traditional Area in the Upper West Region, on Saturday, 17 March 2018, Dr Bawumia said: “Along with the Government policy of Planting for Food and Jobs we have also initiated the policy of One Village One Dam and I am glad to note that this policy is taking off this year, and for the three Northern regions this year, we expect the construction of a total of 570 dams."
But Mr Mahama, who has been crisscrossing constituencies and districts of the Northern Region for three days as part of his five-day tour of the region to interact with NDC delegates, caustically said the lesson in the unfulfilled promises is that it is easier for promises to be made but not kept.
“It is easier to give political lectures on the economy than to manage the economy,” he said.
The former President further added that “any Economics Lecturer can give lectures on the economy. But not every lecturer can manage the economy."

Osagyefo Dr Kwame Nkrumah came from Nkroful is that a city? but because of who he is and where he belongs he had wisdom than those you think are enlightened ,he through his free education in the north gave you that incompetent former ndc leader. Abo*ba like you, he employed John mahama's father but sacked him because of incompetence and ste*ling. Even John mahama from Bole Bamboi where human beings and cattle drink from the same stream is somebody to you, odw*nfun like you! kwas*a where do you come from? who created this site that you are using is he from your area, mmoa! you people have no shame !
Before you can WIN 2020 you need more ***barred word*** dead goats like you to vote you to power, otherwise forget any victory.YOU are mocking Nana with dams,factories warehouses,***barred word*** mahama tell what single initiative for your four and half year rule as President.You are always INCOMPETENT and CORRUPT and will ever remain so till you die.
Please NPP do not allow this Incompetent, Corrupt man to go to Schools to pollute the minds of these innocent children and all those headmasters too who allowed their schools for propaganda by these people should be punished.
But NPP has done far better than your incompetent, corrupt and feckless administration and economy you ran. You left behind total ***barred word*** and it will serve right if you can shout your big mouth and allow the SUPER COMPETENT TEAM TO RUN THE SHOW
JDM between January 2013 and September 2014 the Cedi depreciated by over 70% and between January 2017 and September 2018 we have 13.6%. So what kind of economic management are you talking about? Pls JDM just accept that you failed, keep quite and go and sleep and give peace.
you are expecting them to do all this in 2years. you took over an economy with good micro economic indicators from prof mills and you sent us back in a ditch. shame on you.
Oh this in-competent, corruption infested man hasn't learnt a lesson yet. After 2020 he will know his smoothness level. The disgrace will send you into perpetual political retirement with virtually no respect left for him. He had the opportunity to retire as a stateman but he has chosen to go into a contest which will wipe out the little respect majority of Ghanaians have for him
look at this villagers insulting the promised boy John Dramani Mahama ( the tiger from North).This was strong and very intelligent.Look at the unfavourably situatons he faced as president.(dumsor,npp frustrations, doctors strikes,tuc strikes,let my vote count demo,election petition which took almost a year of his term, but still he delivered almost all his promises which is making Ghana work now.Upon all too know from npp show me what they have done,only stealing the state money in executive ways. But God is watching all and if soo called akans don't take care hmmmm Ghana is going to attract the wrath of God and we may be dwelling in plenty but we wont see and foreigners will come in to enslave us because of hypocricy and evil hate.It has even stated,look at the wrong decisions so called NYASAFOA people are taking. Ghana think and let everyone rise to overthrown a mistaked president. TALK IS CHEAP AND EVERY ONE CAN TALK BIG BUT ONLY THE INTELLIGENT AND THE MEEK AND THE BOLD AND THE BIG DREAMERS ACHIEVE GREAT THINGS. JOHN D. MAHAMA IS ONE. AKUFFO ADDO CAN NOT COMPARE HIMSELF TO JM. 2020 WE GO SHOW NANA. HE IS FAKE
