President John Mahama says he is a tested and proven candidate who deserves to be retained in the general elections set for December 7.
Speaking during the launch of the campaign of Pru East MP Kwabena Donkor, President Mahama urged Ghanaians not to be swayed by the relentless criticisms against his government.
Our elders say the man who weeds thorny bushes with his mouth, he never hurts, to wit "it is easy to criticise when someone is implementing a task", the President spoke in Twi.
The reality is that it takes experience to govern a country, he said and drew an analogy with football.
When the likes of Asamoah Gyan and Abedi Pele are playing, spectators and analysts always criticise and suggest that given the opportunity, they will play better. But when you field him, they give off a lethargic display, he said to the cheering NDC supporters.
We are winning and you want Dede Ayew and Asamoah Gyan to be substituted so a rookie can play, it does not make sense, he quipped.
Talking is the easy part...even a child can do that but if you have not been tried and tested you cannot deliver, he jabbed his opponents last Tuesday.
Alive FM's Daniel Takyi who was at the campaign launch said Mahama explained that his government's commitment to improving the country's infrastructure demonstrates his tested and proven leadership.
President Mahama said his government is responsible for "the most massive investments in the road sector in the history of Ghana because over the last four years....we have invested nearly GHC3billion" in that sector alone.
With this record, he said it is only a matter of time before government constructs roads in the district. This, he explained, is in line with government's policy to build between three to five kilometres of town roads in every district capital.
President Mahama, therefore, urged the Yeji chiefs and people eager to see developments in their communities to keep calm because the NDC government has them at heart.
The President also said government is working hard to restore the operations of the ferry to facilitate traveling on the Volta lake which links the northern part of the country to the south.

Mr Prez has said it all in every football team there is a substitution we can see that you have a number of chances which you can store but you waisted the effort this is our only chance to make progres to our next level of game if we looses this much we are going home therefore one must be change so we can score to the next level in foot ball this is how it is so you are going to be change in December 7 becus your performance ir not good enough and you look tired too so get prepared change is a must
We have to take a critical look at the size of Govt. Not NDC alone. Do we really need this number of ministers looking at the debt to GDP ratio?
Dede can not score inspite of the numerous chances so we can A. BADU to replace him
WELL SAID. SINCE THE AGE OF METHUSALLAH HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE WISDOM OF SOLOMON. WE HAVE WEIGH BOTH RHETORICS, BUT THAT OF THE OPPONENTS ARE MOSTLY UNBALANCE. SOME TALKS ABOUT PROBLEMS WITHOUT SOLUTIONS, YOU TALK ABOUT PROBLEMS AND ITS SOLUTIONS, AND IN MOST CASES SOLUTIONS ABOUT EXISTING PROBLEMS. THIS BROUGHT YOUR EXPERIENCE TO BARE IN THE CASE OF DUMSOR. WHILE AKUFFO ADDO AND HIS PARTY WAS IN GOVERNMENT THEY COULD NOT SOLVE IT. BUT YOU TOOK IT UPON YOURSELF AND FACE IT FRONTALLY, IN THE END WE HAD THE DESIRED SOLUTIONS. THIS IS EXPERIENCE...... WHEN HE WAS THE AG, HE COULDN'T SOLVE A COMMON MURDER ISSUE WITH YAHYA JAME OF GAMBIA. BUT WHILE IN OPPOSITION AND AN MP, YOU ALREADY HAD THE SOLUTION. SO WHEN YOU HAD THE CHANCE AS VEEP THE CASE WAS BROUGHT TO A CLOSE. AND OPANA HAD THE GUTS TO CRITICIZE?????/ THESE AND MANY MORE EXAMPLES SHOWS UP IF WE JUXTAPOSE THE TWO OF YOU... SO MY CANDID ADVISE FOR THE FIRST TIME VOTERS ON THIS PLATFORM. WHEN YOU READ THESE THINGS THEY ARE NOT JUST COMMENTS. BUT THERE ARE HARD FACTS TO BACK THEM. VOTE JDM AND NDC AND BOTE AGAINST OPPRESSION, AND INEXPERIENCE AND AN OLD BOFLOT.
You definitely don't have the experience Mr president. You,your ministers,cabinet members,and your entire government really lack experience in everything
DO YOU HAVE ? YOU INCOMPETENT FAILURE.
