NDC NY Proud Of Mahama's Debate Performance

NDC NEW YORK VERY PROUD OF THE PRESIDENT’S DEBATE PERFORMANCE.

The membership of the NDC New York branch remains elated and very proud of

the outstanding performance of President Mahama during the recent IEA

debate in Tamale, Ghana. The event which continues to be watched by thousands of

Ghanaians in the diaspora via the internet saw President Mahama emerging

clearly as the candidate with the most well informed answers to the problems

of our beloved country, Ghana.

The President in a calm and very presidential manner listed the

unprecedented achievements of the NDC in the sectors crucial to the development of

Ghana; the sectors are education, health, agriculture, energy and economy

among others. Juxtaposed against the performance of the NPP flag bearer the

President looked very professional, detailed and mature as against Nana Addo

Danquah Akuffo- Addo who looked overly aggressive, and always out of time

when he had to present the case for his presidential bid. The NPP

Presidential candidate had a whimsical approach to most of the sectors he tried to

speak about, he offered few details of how his plans will be implemented. Nana

Addo Danquah Akuffo-Addo’s simplistic approach to governance, has earned

him the nickname “NADAA” a rough Spanish translation which means nothing or

naught from many Ghanaians abroad. Asked about his policy for education

NADAA waxed on and on about Free SHS(Ghanaians no that whatever the problems

beguile the SHS system they are not the only problem of the educational

sector) again when asked about his policy for the Health sector NADAA only

spoke about the NHIS scheme in both instances NADAA overused his time.

President Mahama was however very personable in his delivery on education he spoke

about the NDC’s achievements and policies which span across the length and

breadth of the sector. Again when it was his time to speak, the President

used his time efficiently and addressed all aspects of the health sector

including the future of the NHIS, equipment for the Hospitals already

purchased and in use and plans to train more professionals for the health sector

as a result of the newly established university in Ho, Volta Region.

The NDC New York Branch remains encouraged by the leadership of President

Mahama, the achievements of the Better Ghana Agenda and the policies

espoused by the President and the party’s manifesto.
