President John Dramani Mahama, the flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has expressed his profound dissatisfaction with President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo's leadership style, accusing him of excluding certain communities because of political differences.
Following a tour of 14 constituencies in the Central Region, where he assessed the level of progress and spoke with local leaders and residents, Mahama, who has been actively interacting with individuals throughout Ghana, made these comments in a Facebook post.Travel packages
Mahama stated that the disregard for these communities seemed to be due to "petty partisan political reasons."
He emphasized that the well-being and prospects of the people had suffered greatly as a result of Akufo-Addo's administration's failure to address the developmental requirements of regions that did not politically align with the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
In his post, Mahama expressed his anguish and displeasure at having personally seen the barriers people encounter in obtaining healthcare, education, basic infrastructure, and other necessities as a result of Akufo-Addo's purported biases.
Mahama emphasized the value of equitable government in his remarks and denounced any strategy that penalizes groups based on their political inclinations.
“After touring fourteen (14) constituencies in the Central Region so far, I cannot help but join the chiefs and people in condemning the neglect of our communities for petty partisan political reasons, as President Akufo-Addo himself has stated.
“It pains me to see our cherished communities grappling with the neglect of crucial development projects vital for their growth and well-being.”
Mahama questioned the justification for this disregard, contending that inclusive administration should attend to the interests of all citizens, irrespective of their party preferences.
