Former President John Dramani Mahama has indicated that the Nana Akufo-Addo led- government, compared to any other government, is an obstacle to the country’s development.
Addressing the chiefs and people of the Asutifi North Constituency at the district capital, Hwidiem, as part of a two-day tour to the Ahafo Region to congratulate the traditional leaders and people for voting massively for its creation, former President Mahama explained that per the 1992 Constitution, a new president must ensure to continue to complete all projects in all sectors for the good people of Ghana before commencing new ones, yet His Excellency Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo and his team have totally ignored the law, which ignorance and apathy is really affecting the people.
According to him, former presidents of the country, namely JJ Rawlings, JA Kufuor, the late JEA Mills and himself respected the constitution by tackling such projects before touching on new ones in accordance with their manifestos, but the current President is going astray and needs to be brought back on track.
JDM, as the former President has become known, said as a result of President Akufo-Addo’s attitude, most projects, which are of major benefits to the people irrespective of political affiliation, have been abandoned, thus, denying the people the right to have improved living conditions.
He added that most Ghanaians are bitterly complaining of this behaviour of the current New Patriotic Party (NPP) government, and that it is time it was told to do the right thing to improve the lot of the people, especially those in the rural areas.
Former President Mahama said the Hwidiem-Kenyasi road, which was nearing completion to serve a major purpose to the residents, is now left unattended, resulting in the huge quantum of dust, while drivers are contending with the purchase of new spare parts on a daily basis, a situation he described as “unfair to the people.”
He further said there are no limitations to what the President and the government are doing when it comes to neglecting good projects started by the previous government, saying it is really annoying, and called on Ghanaians to speak against it.
The former President, who is also the flagbearer of the biggest opposition political party, National Democratic Congress (NDC), pointed out that he had not on any occasion said he would cancel the Free Senior High School initiative introduced by the NPP.
According to him, the double track system is not helping the education system, and hinted that the NDC would amend it when elected in 2020.
The former President, in the company of the National Chairman of the NDC, General Secretary, National Organiser and other top NDC executives toured all the six constituencies, namely Asunafo North, Asunafo South, Asutifi South, Asutifi North, Tano North, and Tano South.
The entourage had earlier visited Tanoso, Duayaw Nkwanta, Techimantia, Bechem, Sienkyiem, Hwidiem, Sankore, Kwapong, Kukuom, Mim, Goaso, Kenyasi and Ntotroso.

Aaaawww JDM you awesomely quoted the law that government is a continuous process then why did JDM abandoned sofoline interchange, kpone affordable housing, suhum-nkwakwa dual carriage and many more.. you said in the run off to the 2012 election that free shs will feasible in the next 20 years and nowe de3 it's review can be done when you're elected in 2020... hehehehee...lol awwww Mr. Developer
***barred word***, Mahama and his NDC think floating voters are ***barred word***. So far I am of the opinion that the country is being better managed. Mahama has nothing new to offer anybody. You had your chance and u put us in reverse gear with your incompetence. Dubious contracts and sharing of undeserved gains thereof. Massa, leave us make we think better things.
Mahama is losing and desperate. The funny thing is, he's losing all by himself.
JM must be HALLUCINATING like his general secretary. He seems to have lost all his sense of shame. Which president messed up Gh more than Mahama? The NDC must now be waking up to the kind of product they endorsed as their flag bearer for the next election, but hey...it is too late for them. I'm glad they chose Mr TIO (The Incompetent One).
Mahama should listen to himself. Kuffour's affordable housing and Accra Nkawkaw dual carriage high way are still there to prove Mahama is no been truthful. He should s hu t up.
ANY NEW MESSAGE OLD PRESIDENT ?
Wopanaaaaaa!!! Wo gyafo nono!!!
you think so? hahahhaah just sit back and watch wai NANA ALL THE WAY TILL 3040
