The New Patriotic Party (NPP) Presidential Candidate has wondered why President John Mahama would commute to campaign grounds with a helicopter despite boasting of massive infrastructural development.
Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo said Ghana’s road network is not in a good condition yet the National Democratic Congress (NDC) touts it as an area it has done well.
Addressing a news conference in Kumasi Wednesday, he said ‘the person is not using the road but uses a helicopter and when we speak insults are hurled at you,’ he said.
President Mahama has said he has expanded Ghana’s road network by constructing the Kwame Nkrumah Interchange, the ongoing Kasoa Interchange as well as other roads.
The President has commissioned both interchanges. He would also be commissioning the Greater Accra Regional Hospital, formerly Ridge Hospital on Wednesday.
Nana Akufo-Addo who is the President’s main contender in the presidential election which is six days away believes the NDC has done less considering the resources at its disposal.
'We are told of an unprecedented infrastructural development yet they are not visible everywhere we go,' he said.
According to him, an NPP government would improve the condition of existing projects to ensure they meet international standard.
Nana Akufo-Addo promised he would complete the Eastern and Western Railway Corridor to connect Accra to Kumasi.
‘This is a major infrastructural project we want to undertake in few weeks time to come,’ he added.
He also condemned all forms of language aimed at inciting tribal allegiance ahead of the polls.
While campaigning at Lawra in the Upper West Region, President Mahama had said the NPP would discriminate against its Vice Presidential Candidate, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia when the time comes for him to head the party.
“Sometimes I feel sad when I see some of our Northern brothers running and also doing this. They will use you and dump you. Let anything happen today and let our brother Bawumia say he is standing for President in NPP. They will never give it to him I can assure you,” he said.
Nana Akufo-Addo said such statements would not bring the development and progress Ghanaians want.
‘We all come from different parts of the country, but we are all Ghanaians,’ he said, adding the hardship in the economy affects everybody.
‘The language of a division is a politics of yesterday. The unity of our nation is absolutely key and it doesn’t matter,’ he added.

Nana Quasea, Mahama is ahead of the game. He uses roads too. He also have the state flying him around because he is the president. You don't even have money for your campaign so how can you fly too?
You guys commenting are all retarded. Tell your corrupt president to fix the damn roads and stop acting like a bunch of punkasses.
Oluuuu find somewhere and rest. But please beware you are not electrocuted like you killed my brother. Stuuuuuupid old ***barred word***
Nana Addo please you were in government for 8 years and is now that you have realized our road network is not in good condition. Are you saying the projects Mahama is doing does not meet international standards. I think you are now jealous of Mahama's achievement and you have nothing to offer this country. Mahama is on course and I pray Ghanaians will renew his mandate so he can continue with his good work. During your party's 8years of rule and you held two ministerial portfolios which projects did you and your government undertake that meet international standards? Please leave this country alone we need peace and tranquility to move our country forward in the right direction it is already. Only your desire to become president of our country that there so much tension and if someone does not sing your song you and your followers will resort to insult. Your services are not what Ghana need now. Please just do the honorable thing and leave politics to the young folks in your party.
NANA SIKA NO ASA! YOU HAVE NO CHOICE
