Former President John Dramani Mahama believes the New Patriotic Party (NPP) government has let Ghanaians down by failing to fulfil its election promises.
The Nana Akufo- Addo-led administration, he said, had failed to deliver on its election campaign promise of creating jobs, stabilizing the economy and social intervention programmes to lift the people out of poverty.
“What has become of the many factories and jobs they promised to give Ghanaians?
What of bringing inflation down and also providing each constituency with US$I million?Maybe, they are only buying time to deceive us again”, the former President added.
Addressing a rally of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) after a unity walk at Asawasi in the Asokore-Mampong Municipality, he told the gathering that the NPP government could not continue to deceive the people.
Earlier, the party supporters had embarked on a three-hour procession through some principal streets of the municipality.
This formed part of efforts to promote unity and peace, following the party’s humiliating defeat in the 2016 general election.
Kofi Portuphy, the National Chairman, Johnson Asiedu-Nketia, the General-Secretary, Julius Debrah, former Chief of Staff, and some former Ministers of State and Members of Parliament (MPs) were on hand to participate in the walk.
The leaders took turns to address the supporters of the state of the economy and developments in the NDC.
The former President appealed to the rank and file to bury their differences and work together to return the party to power.
Mr Asiedu-Nketia said they had taken steps to strengthen the party’s internal structures to wrest power from the NPP in 2020.

I think you lack common sense. You are praising a government who is using the little resources available like you rightly put it for social intervention just to win vote from people like you. There are millions of youths with no job and government is using our capital for such things and you are praising them? Any government who is committed to developing our country would have to make difficult choice by creating jobs and paying workers well and they can in turn take care of their children's needs. No government as of the current state of our nation can combine development and social intervention because the resources are not enough for both. But your NPP chose to do social intervention at the expense of creating jobs and developing the country which people like you who think of what to eat today without thinking about the future of our country will applaud them. A smart choice will be to create jobs, build the dual carriage roads, the hospitals, schools etc, and social intervention will naturally fall in place. It's a difficult choice but that will be the only way we can achieve financial independence as a nation.
Gentle Giant, keep reminding this CORRUPT GOVT of their SUPER INCOMPETENCE. we are with you all the way. We can't wait for 2020. As for NPP and their PRESS CONFERENCES, I will advice that they rather go to work and stop reacting to every comment by the opposition. MAHAMA, TELL them the TRUTH
