President John Dramani Mahama has challenged Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo to tell the Ghanaian people the type of factories he has promised every district of the country or stop deceiving Ghanaians.
He said the New Patriotic Party (NPP) flag bearer should not be allowed to continue to throw dust into the eyes of the Ghanaian people with the one district, one factory promise when he had not answered the critical question surrounding the promise.
Addressing teeming supporters of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) at a campaign rally at Sefwi Asafo in the Western Region Sunday night , the President said the NPP presidential candidate could not deceive Ghanaians with empty promises.
The charged crowd that had waited for long hours for the arrival of the NDC presidential candidate went into excitement when President Mahama finally arrived in the Western Regional town around midnight.
President Mahama was held up at other rallies in other Sefwi towns as he sought to maintain a stranglehold on the region.
President Mahama would not spare his main challenger in the December election, Nana Akufo-Addo, for churning out lies about the NDC government.
For instance, the President mentioned the claim by Nana Akufo-Addo that while he (Nana Akufo-Addo) was campaigning in the Western Region, he did not see the road infrastructure the government claimed to have undertaken in the region.
President Mahama asked the supporters whether Nana Akufo-Addo told the truth and shouts of, "no, no, no" emerged from the supporters.
"I will not say that he was sleeping when he was travelling on the roads. But, I can say that he was dozing off in his car when he was being driven around," the President said.
President Mahama added, "You should not let anybody deceive you because this government will continue to serve the interest of the people."
Many of the roads in the Sefwi area, which used to be in bad state had seen major improvements under my government and they evidence is there, President Mahama said.
At Sefwi Bodi, President Mahama was honoured with the Chieftaincy title, "Sompahene" by the Bodi Traditional Council.
Sompahene translated into English means good leader.
A statement accompanying the title said, President Mahama had acquitted himself as a true leader.
Responding, President Mahama thanked the chiefs for the honour done him and pledged to continue working to improve the lives of the people.
He urged the people to go out in their numbers on election day to vote for the NDC in both the presidential and parliamentary elections.

Mahama has polluted Ghana with corruption. It is too bad and sad. It is strongly believed that he paid heavily for some at EC to rig 2012 elections and when the election was challenged he had to influence judges with money. It is held that he involved some Chiefs to achieve this. To cover and expand his corrupt deeds, he pays to influence Pastors, Journalist, MPs, Pollsters, Opposition Politicians. He buys his way through everywhere. He has succeeded in doing this so he thinks he can bribe everyone in Ghana. Thank God we still have good, sincere and God fearing people in the country who are not corrupted and cannot be bribed by Mahama. He is not ashamed of anything and takes Ghanaians to be too cheap with shallow minds. In spite of Wayomie corruption which is still pending in court he has given another contract of Ghana government to him to tell all in Ghana that he does not care about what we think and say about his corruption. He dashes money everywhere in his campaign to get endorsed by chiefs, journalists, artists and all. He believes that JJ and Ghanaians are baloney. We can talk and talk but can take no action. Fellow Ghanaians let us show love for our nation, conscience for justice, pride for our dignity and take the opportunity of elections to punish people who abuse the natural principle of fair play, equal justice and reward for sincere hard work. It will be an expensive negligence if we fail to use the ballot box to get rid of corrupt politicians. Nobody would forgive us for such a grave mistake. Let us use our God given brains to make a choice that can set our nation free again.
@ BENSON OWUSU and All Comments Below who thinks the One District One Dam concept is not possible are blind and limited in visionary ideas. If 100 years ago someone told you Dubai was going to build an artificial island on a sea; you will have called for the person to be incarcerated!! F*O*O*Ls with no vision. Nations like USA, Dubai, Germany, Singapore etc. are doing the impossible and you NDC followers are talking Non*sense...because you have a leader who has no vision to save the country. #TheYouthShouldVOTENPP
FAILURE TO DECLARE THE KIND OF FACTORIES TO BE BUILT, COST, KIND AND LOCATIONS IS JUST A MIRAGE AND POLITICAL TALK TO HOODWINK UNSUSPECTING VOTERS. WHERE IS THE PRESIDENTIAL SPECIAL INITIATIVES? IS BLOCK FACTORY A FACTORY? IS PURE WATER MANUFACTURING FACTORY A FACTORY CURRENTLY,THERE IS A BLOCK FACTORY AND PURE WATER FACTORY EVERY SIZEABLE TOWN IN GHANA. ONE TOWN ONE FACTORY IS ALREADY TAKING PLACE IN GHANA. HOW CAN ONE BUILT A DAM IN EVERY VILLAGE. GEOLOGIST AND AGRICULTURIST WILL TELL YOU THAT WE DO NOT HAVE A RIVER IN EVERY VILLAGE IN GHANA.NEITHER DO WE HAVE A VERY GOOD WATER TABLE FOR DRILLING BOREHOLE IN EVERY VILLAGE IN NORTH OF GHANA. WHEN SOMEONE TELLS YOU ONE DAM ONE VILLAGE. I GUESS THAT PERSON CANNOT THINK FAR. BEST YOU CAN HAVE IS A SIZEABLE DAM FEED WITH PIPELINES EXTENDED TO VILLAGES AND FARM BANK FOR REAL AGRICULTURE REVOLUTION. NOT IN AMERICA DO WE HAVE ONE DAM ONE VILLAGE. SIMILAR CONCEPT OF PROPAGANDA FREE SHS FOR EVERYBODY INCLUDING DOUBLE MASTERS AND PHD HOLDERS.
So you can giraffe and dub the answers?!
he won't explain to you because we the citizens believe he can do it. Tell us what you can do and those you failed to achieve
Ogyimifo, kwasianpani John Mahama. When NPP started the Bui Dam, you criticized them badly and yet they were able to build the project. Each time, NPP proposes an idea, you claim it is not possible. Free SHS was the campaign message for the NPP and you and your surrogate down played it only to turn round and admit that, is a constitutional provision and so every government can do it. Do you think Ghanaians are fuuulls like you? Go and explain how Atta Mills was killed to his wife and family. If you win this 2016 election, you will not be able to finish your term in office. You will die a miserable death like Atta Mills. Better accept the defeat that is staring at your face and leave the Flagstaff in peace. Odwanfunu President.
Another one from Daily Rubbish (aka Daily Graphic). Mahama..you did same with free SHS and now you are doing it with the District factories. Shame on you! Explain to the cocoa farmers why there is no money to buy their cocoa.
the worst part is , He's still got followers even those in high positions. lets arise and play the roles of both wise voters and security personnels because obviously all those agencies are under an influence......GOD BLESS GHANA.
Nana Addo does not owe you(jm)any explanation. You want Nana to teach you how his "ONE DISTRICT ONE FACTORY " will work , just be a little patient, Nana will take over the presidency and you will get to see all his policies work life and for real not theory and the ones you stole previously and was not able to implement it well been implement effectively and efficiently.
He should explain in terms of what? Does Nana Addo own you any explanation, mr incompetent president ? You wait, he will execute it for you and your incompetent ndc to see. SAMAN(dead person), your days are numbered. Did NPP explain the NHIS,SCHOOL FEEDING PROGRAM,LEAP,NYEP and METRO MASS TRANSIT ECT. to you the most fooooolish president before implementing it? Krakye, is time you talk sence and stop these chil dish talks.
