President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has raised concerns about the leadership capabilities of National Democratic Congress (NDC) flagbearer, John Dramani Mahama, in guiding Ghana forward.
He cautioned that a potential return to power by Mahama could potentially jeopardize critical policies, notably the Free Senior High School (SHS) program.
Addressing a gathering of chiefs and residents in the North-East Region, President Akufo-Addo highlighted the risks associated with electing Mahama and the NDC in the upcoming December 7 general elections.
He warned that such a decision could lead to the abandonment of key initiatives like the Free SHS policy.
President Akufo-Addo referenced recent statements made by Mahama as evidence of his intentions to potentially eliminate the program if he were to be elected.
He urged Mahama to provide clarity on his position regarding the Free SHS policy, stressing the importance of transparency for Ghanaian citizens who have greatly benefited from the program.
“Let’s ask him [Mahama], which is which? What should the Ghanaian people take as your real position? Because this chopping and changing, chopping and changing, is a very difficult thing for some of us to understand.
“What should we believe? Are you going to change it? Are you going to cancel it? Are you going to improve it? Because every time you open your mouth, you say a different thing.
“I don’t think a man who talks like that, who wants the supreme office of our country, is somebody who can be trusted.”
