The presidential candidate for the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama has lashed out at the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) for inaugurating interchanges in the run-up to the December 7 elections despite criticising him for the same during his former administration.
Mahama cited a social media post by NPP stalwart, Gabby Otchere-Darko in 2016 urging voters to be informed by the state of the economy and not the construction of interchanges.
His comments follow the recent inauguration of road networks including the Flowerpot interchange by President Akufo-Addo.
Addressing a gathering in Bawaleshie as part of the final phase of his Greater Accra campaign, Mahama claimed that the NPP’s words against him were haunting them.
“How correct are his words eight years ago? So, don’t let them divert your attention. This election is about change and not an interchange. This election is about unemployment and economic hardship. This election is about corrupt and incompetent leadership. Clearly, the NPP administration has failed to make the lives of Ghanaians better.
“Why we vote in elections is to elect leaders is for them to improve our lives but in eight years, the NPP has taken Ghana 10 years backwards,” he said.
