Mahama who couldn’t give Bole Bamboi a facelift can’t be trusted - Obiri Boahen to Ghanaians

Former Deputy General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Nana Obiri Boahen has asked Ghanaians to consider John Dramani Mahama’s hometown as they go to the polls to elect a new leader.

He said John Dramani Mahama has walked through the corridors of power to become Vice President and President but could not do anything to give his hometown a facelift.

To him, such a person should not be allowed to lead Ghana because of his selfishness.

“Here you have somebody as a president saying Free Senior High School is impossible. He sponsored adverts. Someone comes and implements Free Senior High School. As President, you said free SHS is impossible; if we were not in Africa, do you think Mahama has the moral, legal, and constitutional right to lead a political party?"

"John Mahama’s hometown, Bole Bamboi is still a district. John Mahama has been Vice President and President but could not elevate them to a municipal level. It is inhuman for John Mahama to be president when Bole Bamboi did not receive any facelift to become a municipal," he said.

On calls on Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia to cancel E-levy because he is in government, Nana Obiri Boahen defended Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia’s inability to cancel some taxes deemed a nuisance to the people of Ghana until he becomes President.

“At any point in time, it is the President. Bawumia can just say he does not agree with the e-levy but the constitution says the Cabinet assists, so where lies the fact that Bawumia has been honest and fair with Ghanaians?" he said.
