The Communications Director of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has described a ‘thank you’ tour by former President John Mahama as a means to attack the Ghanaian people.
“He’s going on a thank-you tour and he is attacking you, John Mahama is attacking you. He wants to take everything Nana Addo has given you away,” he said on Friday.
Speaking during a press briefing, Friday, Yaw Buaben Asamoa said John Mahama and the National Democratic Congress (NDC) have nothing to offer the populace hence the need not to vote them to power in 2024.
According to Yaw Buaben Asamoa, the former President is aiming at taking what President Akufo-Addo has provided for the citizenry.
“The NDC has nothing to give you so why should you give them your vote again. Can you really look at your thump and give it back to the former President, former flag bearer, and aspiring flag bearer John Mahama,” he quizzed.
He said during the term of Mr Mahama’s administration, he only made life difficult for the people in the country.
“What did he do for you in 2012 after he took your votes, he took away your electricity even when you were paying for it, he took away your hard earned susu, leaving your child at home after she passed well.
“He took away your training allowances, he took away your free maternal childbirth, your child’s free Metro mass transport, and he collapsed your NHIS,”
Mr Asamoa also mentioned that John Mahama’s government was unable to grant a long-held wish of getting the “Savanna and Oti Regions, remember this, he could not give you your long-held dream of a region [and] when you fought hard with Nana Addo to gain your region, he’s questioning you why you have it.”
He said should the people vote for the NDC come 2024, the party under the leadership of Mr Mahama “will take away your nephew’s schooling, your children’s free SHS, he will take it away, he will cancel it.
“John Mahama has not given you anything, he cannot give you anything [so] next time if he opens his mouth to take something Nana Addo has given you, ask him what he will give you back, nothing.”
Rather, Mr Asamoa is confident that the government’s Agenda 111 project will boost business, and that to him is a threat to the NDC.
“With many buildings on each site, business will be good for Ghanaian traders, so the NPP is doing something for you, and that is why the NDC are worried.”
“The NDC feels threatened, not because you are getting something good from the NPP but because they think and they believe and it is true that you will never give them your vote again.”
John Mahama began a ‘Thank You Tour’ of the 16 regions on Tuesday.
This was the first time after the 2020 general elections that the former President is touring the Country to express gratitude to Ghanaians.
