Nana Akufo-Addo and the New Patriotic Party (NPP) are trying to hoodwink Ghanaians into voting them into office in the December 7 polls by promising “one this, one that,” President John Mahama has said.
Mr Mahama, who is running for his second and final four-year term on the ticket of the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC) told party supporters at Isa in the Dafiama Bussie Isa constituency in the Upper West Region that Mr Akufo-Addo’s “one this, one that” promises are nothing but “empty sloganeering”.
“Ghana, our country, is moving forward. It is not going backwards as people want you to believe. When it comes to elections, people come with all kinds of promises just because they want to get elected. We have seen it before.
“In 2000 the same people came and made all kinds of promises. And when they come to power, we will do this, when we come to power we will do this. And then as soon as they were elected into power, they said oh, well we can’t do the things we said we will do for you because when we came the Rawlings government left us ‘opipipiipii’ debts. The same trick they want to do again.
“The same trick; one village, one dam; one village, one factory; one village, one something; one constituency, one million dollars; one this, one that; then when they come into office, which they won’t, they will come and say: ‘John Mahama’s government left a huge debt so because of that, what we said, we can’t do for you.’ That’s the trick. It’s a political trick. It’s a con game.
“So when they come with those empty promises and sloganeering, the question you should ask is – it’s not like God hasn’t given them power before, the good thing God has done is, He’s made NDC taste power, He’s made NPP taste power – … ‘when you were in office, what did you do for us?’” he said.

SORRY TO SAY THAT, MR PRESIDENT, PEOPLE ALWAYS SAY THAT YOU ARE VERY INCOMP--ETENT. BUT FROM WHAT YOU HAVE SAID, YOU ARE THE MOST STU---PI-D AND FOO--L-ISH PRESIDENT EVER LIVED ON THIS EARTH. WHAT MAKES EVEN YOU, AN INCOMPE--TENT PERSON FULFILING YOUR PROMISE THAN NANA AKUFFU ADDO ? ARE YOU NOT DIFFERENT FROM JJ RAWLINGS AND ATTA MILLS DESPITE THE FACT THAT, YOU ARE FROM THE SAME PARTY. WHAT MAKES YOU THINK THAT, NANA ADDO IS THE SAME AS KUFFOUR? INDEED YOU HAVE REALLY SHOWN YOUR NAIVETY AND INCOMPE---TENCE TO THE WHOLE WORLD.

My mum was getting her diabetes medications for free but since last year I hv been buying her medication when ever she attend Akosombo Hospital. I guess u u were also doing politrics by then. Corruption is the most competent thing u guys in ndc know how to do best. #change is coming
JM, unfortunately you don't decide for Ghanaian voter. As a contestant, yours is to sell your message for us to decide among the various options. Anyway whether the New Patriotic Party (NPP) are trying to hoodwink Ghanaians or not YOU HAVE EXHIBITED CRASS INCOMPETENCE, UNBRIDLED CORRUPTIN and GROSS MISMANAGEMENT of our resources for eight years. MAHAMA 'KUKURANTUMI' you think you've done well aa aa ma. Unfortunately you have not performed to the admiration of most Ghanaians. Remember, sympathy votes from the demise of the late Prez. Mills hugely accounted for your 'victory' in 2012. Ghanaians are now saying TIME ASO - OO - TIME ASO; JM, TWA SO. NANA B3BA no matter how you cry.
We will vote u out.npp are business minded people...businesses always thrive under them...u are such a jinx mr president...just keep quiet and leave office
YOU SAID THE SAME THINGS ABOUT FREE SHS ONLY TO TURN AROUNG. VERY INCONSISTENT PRESIDENT. DO YOU STILL BELIEVE IN FREE SHS? ONLY SHALLOW MINDS DON'T THINK BIG. NOBODY BELIEVE YOU ANYMORE. YOU SAY ONE THING TODAY AND THE OPPOSITE TOMORROW. CORRUPT MINDS BEHAVE LIKE THAT. CHANGE IS COMING!
