Mahama’s inconsistency is not what Ghana needs at this moment – Bawumia

Flagbearer for the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, has reminded Ghanaians of John Dramani Mahama’s inconsistency, insisting he cannot be trusted.

Citing John Dramani Mahama’s past position on Free Senior High School (SHS) and his current position to back his point, the NPP flagbearer indicated that he cannot be trusted.

“My opponent, the former President, to put it mildly, is very inconsistent. He opposed Free Senior High School, saying it was bogus and would collapse the economy. However, today, he says he introduced it. He, as President, introduced teacher licensure exams, but today, he says he opposes it.

He abolished teacher and nursing training allowances. He said he would abolish it even if it cost him his presidency, but today, he says he will continue to pay them. He is not committed to it, it is just for political expedience.

He has touted in the past infrastructure as one of his achievements. However, because our infrastructure record is superior to his, today he says that infrastructure doesn’t matter for the economy, that the economy is different from infrastructure. How can that be?

I mean, really. For someone who has been president to say that infrastructure doesn’t have anything to do with the economy, then I understand why the economy collapsed under his watch,” he said.
