Flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama, says Ghana would have erupted in chaos if unprecedented levels of corruption presided over by the President Akufo-Addo government had taken place under his watch.
Former President John Dramani Mahama addressing Ghanaians at a campaign rally in Accra said, “If the level of bribery and corruption we are witnessing under this government had occurred during the NDC’s tenure, we would have experienced a coup by now. The level of thievery going on is worse, but people a lot of people are hypocrites; they do not see the wrong going on in Ghana,” Mahama declared.
He criticized those responsible for holding the government accountable, accusing them of hypocrisy and opting to praise the government rather than speaking out against its wrongdoings.
John Dramani Mahama expressed confidence that the NDC would secure victory in the 2024 elections. He also assured that those currently silent about the government’s wrongdoings will suddenly regain their voices when the NDC returns to power.
“I know NDC will win the 2024 elections. However, when we win, people who have toothaches and cannot speak against the ills of the current government will start to get their voices back. Hypocrisy is what is pulling this nation back. If we see the truth, if it is black, it is black, if it is white it is white, it doesn’t matter who is in office. We must be truthful at all times,” he said.
