President John Dramani Mahama has stated that the wild election promises by the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) are meant to deceive Ghanaians into acting in a manner that will help them destroy the destiny of the country.
The President referred to the NPP’s “one community, one dam”; “one district, one factory” and “one constituency, one million dollar” among other promises as wild election gimmicks intended to deceive Ghanaians to disrupt the steady growth currently happening under his administration.
President Mahama stated this when he paid a courtesy call on the Overlord of the Waala Traditional Area, Naa Seidu Fuseini Pelpuo IV at his palace in Wa during his second day campaign tour of the Upper West Region.
He said up-to-date, the NPP had not been able to clearly tell Ghanaians what type of dams and factories they wanted to put up in which community and in which district, and wondered why they wanted Ghanaians to vote for them base on those promises.
He said it was based on that calculated move to deceive Ghanaians that the National Democratic Congress (NDC) was campaigning vigorously as if it was rather the party in opposition to let the people know the truth and renew their mandate.
“We are travelling across the length and breadth of the country campaigning vigorously as if we are the party in opposition to let Ghanaians know the truth from deception and vote wisely for the NDC to protect the future and destiny of the nation”, he emphasized.
President Mahama therefore urged Ghanaians not to entrust the destiny of the country into the hands of someone who had not been tried and tested, saying “doing that would jeopardize the future of the country”.
He expressed concern about how some people had been attacking the integrity of the Electoral Commission (EC) especially the Chairperson, and appealed to traditional rulers not to sit aloof but with open and neutral minds, offer words of wisdom and advice to such persons to ensure a peaceful election.
President Mahama who was given a chieftaincy title “Naapogba Kolee Naa” by Naa Fuseini Pelpuo expressed his gratitude to the chiefs and people of the Wala Traditional Area for the prayers and honour done him.
President Mahama also paid courtesy calls on Naa Puoure Puobe Chiir the VII and Naa Puowele Karbo III, Paramount Chiefs of Nandom and Lawra Traditional Areas respectively.

You are going about promising 3million jobs (entire population of accra including children), you are saying you will develop ghana unrecognizably if you are given another 4 years and here you are accusing other people of making "wild promises". You are a dammmn foooooooool, mahama. Forget about getting my vote, you edddddiottt
Where is edey bee k3k3???? lol...aaaawwwww Ma'ma you failed Ghanaians already! Ghanaians will fail you this time!
Ghanaians this man can not help this country let's vote him out we deserve better
Signs of a desperate man. He has nothing to say except insult Nana Addo. Ghanaians have given up on NDC and Mahama. Kokromoti power will show you sense on 7 Dec. Power belongs to us not you.
Looks like Mahama has already conceded defeat....every comment he pass nowadays shows he himself knows he has lost the election
People without vision talk like that your excellency. Your statement of Wild Promises of NPP means you and your NDC party lack vision. By this statement I'm highly convinced you can't rule Ghana again. I'll vote for Nana Addo and the NPP party because they seem to have vision and you don't
