National Youth Organizer of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) is appealing to Ghanaians not to be swayed by the newly constructed interchanged at the Kwame Nkrumah Circle in Accra.
Just like a woman hiding her 'ugliness' with makeup, Samuel Awuku said the Mahama-led government is using the new edifice dubbed ‘Dubai interchange’ to deceive Ghanaians ahead of the December 7 general elections.
The interchange to replace the Circle Roundabout has a magnificent water park with a dancing fountain, the idea of which was taken from Dubai which would now become a tourist attraction for many, according to President Mahama.
The site also has an imposing statue of Ghana's first president Dr. Kwame Nkrumah which is "a fitting memorial in honour of the greatest Pan Africanist."
This edifice, supporters of the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) are convinced is an election winner for President Mahama.
But Sammy Awuku while addressing students at the Accra Technical University Thursday, said the pomp and pageantry during the commissioning is borne out of what he called “political ignorance”.
He claimed government decided to unveil the interchange in the evening to show the cosmetic side of the overpass which is total different in the morning.
Sammy Awuku stated that, government has shortchanged Ghanaians because the NPP with 20 billion cedis among others built Alajo Interchange, Malam Interchange, Madina Interchange, Sofoline Interchange, Tetteh Quarshie Interchange, Achimota interchange and Asafo Interchange.
But with a whopping $90million, the NPP youth leader said Mahama-led government has built just one interchange is they are shouting over the rooftop.
“Things we thought was ordinary has been made extraordinary under NDC so we must make choice between prosperity and misery in the December polls” he urged the students.
Sammy Awuku urged all Ghanaians to vote massively for the NPP to change the fortunes of this country.

As for the Tetteh Quarshie interchange the least said about it the better. What use has this interchange been to us? We all run from our various locations to converge at that place to find our courses. If it has been done line Circle's traffic would have improve. As it stands now, it has not served its purpose.
Sammy I'm also called Awuku but you must stop insulting Ghanaians especially the women. Maybe it's your wife who does make up on dirts but definitely not my wife. You see that desperation is going to cause you votes? Insulting Ghanaian women?
It's only a full will be swayed by the NPP's propaganda on this Dubai interchange especially judging from how you shortchanged Ghanaians on the construction of Tetteh Quashie interchange. What is the sense in that work? Yet you want to despise such a massive work at Circle?
Can't laugh. Some governments borrowed not from Banks but salons. Same government borrowed and used the hard cash to decorate themselves and their cronies. Same cronies see no wrong they commit. Others borrowed but spent cash on roads, hospitals, schools, water etc. Between the two borrowers which would you choose to manage your finances? I choose JM.
And who says Ghanaians are moved by that shoddy work done at those interchanges you mentioned especially Tetteh Quashie? A dubious work done. By the way was Tetteh Quashie not supposed to be a six flyover?
It is very surprising that after fifty-nine years of independent a government in this country Ghana would call interchange build in this country as an achievement. Then when are we going to great jobs for teaming youth that are coming out of our tertiary institutions .No wonder Ghana has been describe as the most highly unemployment country in the world. Even these achievement are made of loan from out side. W HAT A SAME TO GHANA.
