Former President John Mahama has accused the Akufo Addo government of constructing dugouts instead of the promised dams in villages in the Northern Region.
The New Patriotic Party (NPP) made a major campaign promise ahead of the 2016 to construct one dam per a village in the three regions up North to improve on irrigation in the area.
But the Ex President who’s on a campaign tour of the Northern region in his bid to be elected the Flagbearer of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) stated that the government has deceived people up north with the construction of dugouts instead of the promised dams.
“I was coming from Mamprusi West and the One Village One Dam and they’ve gone to do the experimental one, of course they should have told us they were dugouts because they are not dams. Before the elections I asked them are you talking about dugouts or irrigation dams or you are talking of barrage dams or what are you talking about, define what you mean by dams, they refused to answer. Apparently they were thinking of dugouts, as for dugouts we were digging them already. Under GSOP we dug so many dugouts under the Savanah Region of this country and so its nothing new. So that One Village One Dam really there was nothing in it. It is One Village One Dam, even the dugouts where is it? the dugouts are not even there.”

Just wondering? Is it water for irrigation that is required for the farmers in the North to have more cropping seasons or just to have dam? And can we dam all streams and rivers? I was thinking whether it is a dam, dugout, borehole or de-silting, so long as the farmers can have access to water for their crops and animals all year round should be enough. Besides what is important is the guarantee of price for the poor farmer who may able to make two cropping seasons instead of one. Politics in Ghana is just rhetorics.
Mr Ex Prez, I see you’ve taken Akua Donkor’s position as the senior comedian for the next election, Congratulations and hope you do more to amuse the electorate.

This Kanazoe ford bribe taker John Mahama is really annoying now.... You were vice and president for 8 years .... Tell us what you have done for your people in the north.... SADA, GYEDA and the rest... we know what you did. Incompetent corrupt man Shut the ***barred word*** up. You are giving us reason to insult you. Go and have your thinking checked.....
And you constructed potholes that took many precious lives. So compare the two (2) Mr. Incompetent.
JOHN MAHAMA EEEE! CONCENTRATE ON THE NDC INTERNAL PRIMARIES OOOO TONN. YOU HAVE NOT YET WON THE PRIMARIES TO BECOME A PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE FOR THE NDC TO TALK ABOUT GOVERNANCE. IT YOUDR PARTY MACHINERY (ASIEDU NKETIAH & CO.) DO THAT.
Isn't this same ***barred word*** who said that he has gone round the country and he didn't see any sign of the dam as well as the one district one factory? What is he saying now? Is he now a civil engineer or agricultrist to name the facility. The people need water from what ever source to farm period. What did you do for them in the over twenty years of your association with the NDC? ***barred word***
Is Mr. Mahama contesting against NPP or other NDC aspirants? Why all the attack on NPP? For God's sake this is an NDC internal elections.
This man needs counselling. Instead of telling the people your polices and what you can do for them you are criticizing someones job he's doing for them. Go and revise your notes. Thats why you lost 2016. and remember 2020 and beyond the north needs other things.........
