The flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Nana Akufo Addo has urged the Ghanaian electorate not to fall for President John Mahama’s “JM toaso” mantra which he says is deceptive.
Nana Akufo Addo was speaking in the Ayawaso Central constituency on his Greater Accra regional campaign tour on Wednesday.
According to him, President Mahama cannot call on Ghanaians to give him the mandate to serve as President for a second term since he has performed abysmally in his first term.
He told party supporters that ‘JM Toaso’ mantra which literally means ‘John Mahama Continue’ should not lead them blindly to vote for the Mahama-led government.
“This year, the law of Ghana and God has given the opportunity to end our struggles and hardships we cannot escape from; paying of our school fees and electricity bills. We now have the opportunity to use our thumb to end all that hardship. We can now kick Mahama and his government out and bring the government of development that is the NPP government into office,” he said.
Our President John Dramani Mahama has been President for four years and yet he claims his work is not done so he is appealing for four more years, let’s ask ourselves, everything he says ‘JDM toaso’, what is he going to continue?. I always say, if it will be well, it will be evident from the beginning but I haven’t seen anything,” Nana Addo stated.
The NPP flagbearer who is currently on a Greater Accra regional tour had earlier told supporters at a rally at Weija-Gbawe that they should expect several attempts by President Mahama to ‘buy their votes with goodies’ ahead of the December polls.
He said Ghanaians are no longer interested in the politics of deceit being perpetuated by the NDC. “as election draws closer, expect more goodies from this government, we are going to see this and that.
They are going to spend a lot of money on freebies in a way to convince you to vote for them,” he said.
The NPP flagbearer’s jabs were in response to the NDC Running Mate, Vice President Kwesi Amissah-Arthur, warning Ghanaians to be wary of attempts at rigging from the NPP during an address at Asawase in the Ashanti Region.
But Nana Akufo-Addo said, “what I know is that when it comes to rigging, they [NDC] are masters with a copyright in it. We will never do that, our party is very democratic.”

Let Ghanaians know, the so called development this cor*rupt president is talking about is the China Version (where they take 100% Loans for projects, uses 20% for foundation and 50% into their bank accounts and splash 30% around). Then the Makola women and poor Ghanaians are made to pay pack 120% with interest. NDC has failed Ghanaians, Ghana's incom*petent leader (John Dramani Mahama) has lead this country over the cliff..Ghanaians are SUFFERING, high electricity bills, etc. The likes of Kofi Adams and co. are benefiting and building mansions with the loans and internal generated funds whiles Ghanaians suffer! VOTE NDC OUT come December 7th!!
Very well, but you need to tone down yourself first. Your tone even to dissenting views in the party does not show that you re ready for leadership. At allll. We cant just try you as you keep saying. Ruling a country is not trial and error.
still JM TOASO, we love this mantra. it was good when he personalise it to say i have not seen what Mahama has done. Thank God we have seen a lot of what Mahama and NDC has done and still doing. Mr Akuffo Addo please do you about the Ghana Gas Company, the Komenda Sugar factory, the community SHS etc?
