Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has once again taken a swipe at former President, John Dramani Mahama.
Dr. Bawumia insists that the incompetence of Mr. Mahama speaks loudly for him even in opposition.
According to Dr. Bawumia, the promises Mr. Mahama is making ahead of the December 7 polls makes one wonder if he [John Mahama] has not been in office as a President before.
“We are in an election year and we are hearing a lot of promises from the former president John Mahama, and you will even after sometime wonder if he has been in office before and may be tempted to think he is a new person. But former President Mahama is not a new quantity but a known quantity who has been in office for eight years as a Vice President and President. What did Mahama do for the youth during his tenure?”
“Promises are one thing but deeds and actions are another. Actions speak louder than words and John Mahama’s record of incompetence has already spoken very loudly. President Akufo-Addo has demonstrated his understanding of the issues affecting the youth and has taken steps to tackle them in his first term. His [Akufo-Addo] next term in office will be transformational for Ghana with the youth at the centre of that transformation,” he said.
The Vice President took on Mr. Mahama when he addressed a programme organized by the youth wing of governing New Patriotic Party to commemorate International Youth Day on Wednesday.
He further listed some of the initiatives President Akufo-Addo put in place to tackle the challenges faced by the youth in Ghana.
“Several youth centred programmes and policies initiated by President Akufo-Addo such as job creation through One District One Factory, National Entrepreneurship and Innovation Plan, President’s Business Support Programme, Planting for Food and Jobs, Greenhouse Village Initiative, Campus Business Pitch, Presidential Empowerment for Women with Disability, the revival of Anglogold Ashanti Obuasi Mine, NABCo, as well as other programmes, such as restoration of teacher and nursing trainee allowances, refund of deposits of collapsed financial institutions, free water and electricity amongst others have impacted meaningfully in the political, social and economic lives of the Ghanaian youth,” he further added.
Mahama’s promises
John Mahama, the flagbearer of the NDC had said his second coming will be to create jobs for the Ghanaian youth.
He has thus promised to create over 100,000 new jobs for young people through a new tree planting initiative if he is elected during the December 2020 presidential polls

If you don't study barwumia and nana carefully you may not know how deceptive they are. What they do is create some program and employ their party members and claim the have created jobs. If you give job to only your party members how about the rest of Ghanaian youth who are unemployed. If you don't see it that way, you may be deceived into thinking they are doing something good.
I am so shocked that the NDC keeps sitting down for someone who distribute expired food to his own kinsmen and waste huge sums of money on Ghana GPS which already existed on google to keep calling Mahama incompetent. His superincompetence has led to the cedi running like Usain Bolt yet NDC sit down for him to still have the guts to talk. He is not even part of a committee to help solve government economic challenges. He hasn't given a lecture ones on the economy since they assume office. This is the best time for him to be singing Ghanaians are suffering concert song.
