Mahama is still dazed over the two defeats I gave him – Akufo-Addo
Speaking in an interview today 14th September 2022 on a Ho-based radio station to wrap up his two-day tour of the Volta Region, President Nana Akufo-Addo said that the recent criticisms of his government by former President John Mahama are an indication that Mr Mahama is still dazed over the defeats in the 2016 and 2020 presidential elections.
President Akufo-Addo said Mahama is still confused over the two defeats he suffered in his hands and has lost control of his comments against the government.
Addressing a gathering of the people and chiefs of Asogli state in the 2022 edition of the Asogli Te Za (Yam Festival) in the Volta Region, Mahama indicated that the Nana Addo-led government has lost the fight against corruption, abandoned projects started under his government and are supervising over the worst economy.
“This government, the NPP government has completely lost control of the fight against corruption. President Akufo-Addo in his inaugural address promised to protect the public purse. Today even, that public purse cannot be found. The revelations in the Auditor-General’s report for 2021 is simply a microcosm of the real extent of the seeming institutionalisation of corruption under this administration,” Mahama said.
“Mr Mahama still has not been able to assimilate his defeat twice to the man who he had said could never come to power in Ghana and I think every night when he goes to bed, he is confused about the man who has not just come back but given him a good whipping on two separate occasions. We won the landslide in 2016 and again decisive margin in 2020. He has never got the figures that I have got in elections in Ghana, he knows,” Nana Addo jabbed the former president.
President Akufo-Addo added Mahama and his NDC are aware of the monumental achievements his government has chalked.
“He knows that significant progress and achievements have been made and that it is necessary for him and his supporters to denigrate that exercise, to go out of their way and to poo-poo everything that we have done,” Nana Akufo-Addo rebutted.
