Former President John Dramani Mahama has attacked the Akufo-Addo led-government for taking credit in solving the power crisis (dumsor) that hit the country for well over three years.
According to him, the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) has no hand in solving the power crisis, asserting that Ghana is enjoying stable power supply mainly because of the efficient power plants his administration brought into the country.
Presenting the 2018 budget in Parliament, the Finance Minister, Ken Ofori Atta among other things announced that government has finally solved the power crises as promised.
“When I presented the budget in March, I indicated our commitment to take strategic steps to fix the challenges facing the economy and restore hope to Ghanaians. “I’m happy to note that we have turned the economy around. We have achieved in one year, what seemed impossible to achieve in eight years’’
“We’ll like to assure Ghanaians that the government of President Nana Akufo Addo is a government which delivers on its promises, we promised to end dumsor and we’ve done that,” Hon. Ken Ofori Atta noted.
But former President Mahama while addressing members of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) UK branch, said Ghana will zoom into power crisis as soon as the power plants he established are turned off for a moment, wondering how the NPP can claim it has solved ‘dumsor’ in such a situation.
“Take Ameri, switch it off, take Karpower, switch it off, take KTPP, switch it off, take Asogli Phase 2, switch it off and see if Ghana won’t go back to dumsor…we’ll go straight back to dumsor, no curve no bend. So how could you have solved dumsor. Show me one megawatt of power that has been added since NPP assumed office. we had a deficit, and today some of these plants we brought are the most efficient and they are working to ensure that we have power. The way they (government) are going they are likely to run us into dumsor, because of this populist reduction in tariffs.”

Mahama,Mahama, Mahama, How many times have i called you ? Why were Ghanaian in dumsor for several years when you were in Power ? Why didn't you switch on all the plants to give us lights or you don't know how to switch them on, You could have told us then.
MAHAMA TALK BY HEART LIKE A SCHOOLBOY. THE AMOUNT OF MONEY YOU SPENT ON ENERGY DID NOT COMMENSURATE THE THE AMOUNT OF ENERGY YOU COULD PRODUCE. AND YOUR LOGIC IS POROUS. HOW DO WE PAY THE LOANS YOU HAVE TAKEN FOR ENERGY IF WE SHUT DOWN YOUR SHODDY POWER PLANT. HALF A LOAN IS BETTER THAN NOTHING. THE MONEY SPENT FOR THE PLANT IS NOT YOURS, MAHAMA, IT WAS FROM GHANA. DONT TALK AS IF IT WAS A GIFT FROM YOUR OWN POCKET. IT SOUND LIKE UNINFORMED PERSON ARGUMENT. YOU HAVE BEEN PRESIDENT OF GHANA BEFORE SO PLEASE CARRY OUT YOURSELF AS SUCH. THIS TYPE OF REASONING DOES NOT BEFIT AN EX-PRESIDENT.
eeeh JDM eben asem koraa yin? Your what? JDM ere ye a ye bribi ooo. na eyi nso ofre hen fa? When you came to power did you switch off Asogli One, the generators and Bui? aa aa aa shyla pushewa!!!! JDM right now deeea me koraa I can't think far for you ooo. Did you really say this? I hope not.
Did you purchase it with your own money? Mahama grow up and stop what you are doing . You are just embarrassing yourself.
Mahama needs psychological help.He may have been affected by his loss.I think the deciding factor was how he was bombarded with the incompetence tag.In any case then let's destroy the Akosombo dam because it was Kwame nkrumah who built it and he was even overthrown or let shut the Bui dam because it was initiated by the Kufuor's government.It's childish to go the way Mahama is going.If you've lost,see it from a pure political perspective.When Akuffo Addo was accused of being a drug peddler in the 8 years you were in power,you felt he had no pain?Yet he kept it to himself and focused to win the next time around.Please get a life and move on.Afterall we've heard you want to come back and that should be your focus and not the unnecessary political and infantile jabbings. Anything you did was in the name of Ghanaians and its the tax payers money and not for you.It's a legacy and see it as such.
Please, is this man (Mahama)serious at all
Honestly, the mahama guy knows no shame. If not how on earth will he say my power plants. Did he sell his mother and father stolen properties and use the proceeds to acquire them?. What a childish and no common sense talk is this. No wonder we failed miserably as a president. We gave our money to use but you chose to use it on girls and women with big boobs and ***barred word*** instead of developing the country for us. You are such a good for nothing person who do not deserve to rule Ghana forever. Shame on you, mahama the womaniser.
IS THIS GUY ALRIGHT? DO YOU OWE ANY POWER PLANT IN GHANA? IT WAS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO USE OUR MONEY FOR SUCH PLANT AND YOU USED IT. IT DOES NOT MEAN IS YOURS. HE IS NOW THE DESPERATE ONE OO SO HE IS TALKING LIKE A CHILD. MAN WAKE UP.
Does ex President Mahama think GH belongs to him? in fact we authorized him to use our money to buy the power plant
your power plant? which you bought with your own money?in quest to seek re-election getting your sense of reasoning.give us a break.
