The National Organiser of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Sammy Awuku, has said comparing John Mahama to President Akufo-Addo in terms of competence is a complete mismatch.

Measuring the state of the economy in the first three years of the two regimes, Sammy Awuku said the economy is in better health under the current administration than it was, during the period John Dramani Mahama was President.

Sammy Awuku speaking on ‘Anopa Nkomo’ on Accra-based Kingdom FM107.7 with Kwame Tutu disclosed that, Akufo-Addo led government had to use the last three years to clear the mess created by the Mahama administration “inspite of all the achievements that have been chalked between 2009 and 2016.”

“We saw that even during dumsor electricity prices were being increased, fuel prices were being increased, teacher trainee allowances were being canceled,” he added

He, therefore, implored membership of the NPP to continue preaching the “good works” of the government as the country prepares towards the 2020 general election.

He said Mr. Mahama, who is staging a comeback on the ticket of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) after being defeated massively in 2016, is only going about criticizing his (Akufo-Addo) good policies.

According to the Vice President, the Akufo-Addo-led government has performed better and delivered on its promises so much than any other government under the fourth Republic of Ghana.
