Mahama will destroy your legacy of deception and rebuild Ghana – Abu Siddique jabs Akufo-Addo

Policy Analyst and member of the NDC Research Committee, Siddique Abubakar Suleiman, has taken a swipe at President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo over his recent comment that re-electing former President John Mahama would destroy his legacy.

He stated that a careful analysis of the current administration, since its inauguration in 2017, indicates that President Nana Akufo-Addo's legacy is one of corruption.

Adding mismanagement to the achievements of Akufo-Addo and his vice, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, Abu Siddique contended that the re-election of John Mahama will only wipe out the graft and impunity that are currently prevalent in the corridors of power.

In an article, the analyst listed some common but crucial projects that the erstwhile Mahama administration embarked on, which continue to impact the lives of Ghanaians positively. He added that Akufo-Addo only rode on lies to win power and is still deceiving the people despite his non-performance.

Despite the lies told to Ghanaians, Abu Siddique noted that "scandals and allegations of corruption continue to rock the government, eroding trust and confidence in the administration."

He said that under the John Mahama administration, Ghana witnessed significant economic growth and development through infrastructure development such as roads and major highways like the Kwame Nkrumah Circle Interchange, Tamale-Bolgatanga road, and the Eastern Corridor road. He also highlighted the construction of the Kwame Nkrumah Bridge at Atimpoku and the Fufulso-Sawla road bridge.

Furthermore, he mentioned that the erstwhile Mahama government embarked on the construction of modern hospitals like the Tamale Teaching Hospital, the University of Ghana Medical Centre, and the Ridge Hospital expansion.

Below is the statement:

"Yes, John Mahama will destroy your legacy of lies, deception, and build the Ghana we want."

My Response to Nana Addo:

Ghana is at a crossroads, and the Akufo-Addo/Bawumia government's economic mismanagement and corruption have led us to this point. The recent introduction of new taxes and the increase in existing ones have only added to the burden on ordinary Ghanaians.

Meanwhile, scandals and allegations of corruption continue to rock the government, eroding trust and confidence in the administration.
