Reasons Why You Must Vote For Prez Akufo-Addo And Not Mahama

If you have your brother, sister, daughter, son, cousin, niece, nephew or any member of your family enjoying Free SHS, then you must vote for President Akufo-Addo because he is the Ghanaian leader who introduced this life-changing policy which has touched every home. It is the policy that is helping to secure the future of over 1.3million Ghanaian youth who would have otherwise been denied access to secondary education. You must not vote for John Mahama because he is the biggest threat to the Free SHS policy.

John Mahama had told us he didn’t believe in Free Education; he sponsored over 42 adverts against Free SHS and said, it was a hoax/419; he organized demonstrations against the policy; he said if he had GHc2billion, he wouldn’t waste that money on a policy like Free SHS; he sent his “surrogate”, Mahama Ayariga, to the Supreme Court to try and stop the implementation of the Free SHS policy.

He told us he would review the Free SHS policy if he became President. Obviously, reviewing a policy that you say you don’t believe in simply and logically means you want to cancel the policy. Free SHS is certainly not safe under a John Mahama presidency. He would frustrate the policy and use that as a basis to cancel it because John Mahama thinks that Free SHS is an Akufo-Addo legacy. You must therefore vote for President Akufo-Addo in order to protect the Free SHS policy.

If you are a native of Dagbon, you must vote for President Akufo-Addo because he was the only Ghanaian leader who was able to show leadership in bringing lasting peace to the kingdom of Dagbon thereby ending the century old Dagbon chieftaincy crisis. John Mahama did nothing about the crisis even though he had consistently politicized the crisis for undeserving electoral advantage and even included it in their party Manifesto.

If you are from any of the six newly created regions, you must vote for President Akufo-Addo because he was the Ghanaian leader who was able to grant the over 50 year old wishes of your people to have a separate region for purposes of accelerating the development of their jurisdictions. John Mahama refused to grant them their wish despite the several petitions they brought to his office, during his reign demanding for separate regions. He treated them with contempt.

If you are a teacher trainee or nursing trainee, you must vote for President Akufo-Addo because he restored your allowance, and with him as President, you do not stand the risk of losing your allowance after 2020. John Mahama was the President who canceled your allowance, and is determined to cancel it again in the unlikely event that he wins the elections.

If you do not want to experience dumsor, then you must vote for President Akufo-Addo because he has been able to resolve the dumsor crisis and demonstrated that, with him at the helm of affairs, Ghanaians will not experience dumsor again. You must not vote for John Mahama because he subjected us to four years of excruciating dumsor crisis with many people losing their lives and livelihoods. John Mahama cannot just be trusted to keep the lights on.

If you are a beneficiary of NABCO, NEIP, plating for food and jobs etc or you have any member of your family enjoying these laudable Akufo-Addo policies, then you must vote for President Akufo-Addo. You must not vote for John Mahama because he doesn’t believe in these policies and intends to cancel them if he wins the elections.

If you believe in leadership of service, respect and dignity, you must vote for President Akufo-Addo because he has amply demonstrated these traits in his handling of our national affairs. You must not vote for John Mahama because he is arrogant and does not respect the ordinary Ghanaian. He had used expressions like “yentie obiaa”, “you are not qualified to criticize me if you haven’t been President before”, “sakawa”, “when it comes to violence nobody can match the NDC”, “baloney”, “useless”, “mafia” and “stupidity” to refer to a section of Ghanaians with whom he had issues.

If you believe in leadership of compassion, you must vote for President Akufo-Addo because he has proven to be a compassionate leader. During crisis, he implements policies to cushion the poor. For instance, in these times of Covid-19 and its associated socioeconomic impact, President Akufo-Addo has given us free water, free electricity, free food, business support schemes among other mitigating measures to make us cope with the times.

You must not vote for John Mahama because during crisis, John Mahama does nothing to cushion the poor. When we had dumsor during his administration, instead of implementing mitigating measures, John Mahama was rather implementing escalating measures such as increasing electricity and water tariffs to worsen the plight of the poor.

Ghana has made significant progress under the first term presidency of President Akufo-Addo. He had laid a solid foundation for the socioeconomic reconstruction of our country. President Akufo-Addo is certainly deserving of our votes. Let us vote for him to protect the progress made in Free SHS, national ambulance service, 1D1F, planting for food and jobs, unprecedented national digitization agenda, restoration of trainee allowance, NABCO and many others. Forward, we match to the glory of God and country.
