Former President John Dramani Mahama has expressed concern at the prevailing harsh economic conditions in the country.
Addressing delegates at Praso in the Twifo Attimorkwa constituency in the Central Region, Mr Mahama said the harsh economic conditions, coupled with high cost of living in the country, is unacceptable.
He said the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in opposition made endless promises to Ghanaians leading to its victory in the 2016 general elections, but the only thing the government is now doing is just putting Ghanaians under harsh economic conditions.
Mr Mahama said, in the run-up to the 2016 elections when the NDC was in power, the then opposition NPP made fuel prices a major campaign issue, even though petrol was sold at just GHC 14.
The NPP further claimed that the price of petrol could be reduced by GHC8 which was a tax component and that it was possible to sell petrol at GHC6 at the time, Mr Mahama said. “Today how much is the price of petrol…?’, the former President asked, amidst rapturous response from the delegates.
He said it is possible for people to win elections through a campaign of lies and deceit but that cannot govern a country. Mr Mahama assured the delegates that hope is not lost as he is coming back in 2020 to work towards a reduction in the cost of living and harsh economic conditions.
He is therefore urging the NDC executives to make unity and building of party structures strong pillars for victory in 2020. Mr Mahama is on a four-day tour of the Central Region to meet with delegates ahead of the NDC’s flagbearership contest.

incompetent President with Bawumia as a waste product which cannot be recycle.Enemies of JM will not succeed.
AKUFO ADDO IS A TOTAL DISASTER
I think John Mahama is loosing it. He is talking about himself and how he can win elections on lies and deceit. He once told us we have short memory. I do not blame him because he would still get people rooting for him. Just one social intervention of one term premium for Health insurance they could not fulfil it till he left office. Now Nana Addo has brought free SHS in addition to what President Kuffour brought for Ghanaians, listen to the evil intentions Mahama has for Ghanaians. I think he does not look at himself in the mirror when he gets ready to stage a come back, he really needs prayers.
This Mahama Guy still does not know and understand why he LOST the 2016 Elections. Former President John Dramani Mahama you are now expressing concern at the prevailing harsh economic conditions in the country. Let me remind you that if you and the NDC had created, looted and shaered Ghana's Money, there will be some there to go round. When you lead a Government that inflates contract cost, invest in Guinea fowl that we never saw, bus branding, SADDA, GEEDA and others, what do you think will happen. This man does not think and is heavy Evil possessed. Mahama will so go mad.
What does this man want from Ghanaians again. Is he the only man from the NDC who can be a President? He's already had his chance. getting on my nerves! greediness or what?
