President John Dramani Mahama is urging President Nana Akufo-Addo to dream big in order to solve the numerous challenges facing the country.
Mr Mahama says it takes a dreamer to be able to come out with concrete things and the President should never shy away from dreaming, adding that one can never make progress without dreaming.
Referencing Nana Akufo-Addo’s recent comment that Mr Mahama was "a dreamer" for calling for a review of the free SHS programme in order to address the poor implementation of the programme, former President Mahama said it takes a dreamer to create nations.
Addressing delegates of the National Democratic Congress in the Tamale South constituency, on Tuesday as part of his five-day tour of the Northern Region, Mr Mahama further said "maybe they don't dream that is why Ghanaians are not seeing any progress now”.
"I travelled around the world and saw decent airports but when you come to Kotoka [International] Airport Terminal Two, it was so disappointing. And so it takes a dreamer to dream about projects like Terminal Three and I dreamt it and I said Ghana can have an airport like that," Mr Mahama said.
The former President is therefore urging Nana Akufo-Addo to dream big for the progress of the country. Touching on the NDC’s achievements in government, Mr Mahama entreated members and supporters of the party to be proud of its record in government.
He particularly mentioned the NDC’s record investment in healthcare, education, expanding access to potable water and road infrastructure across the country.
Former President Mahama was concerned about the NPP government’s failure to complete development projects started during his administration, emphasising that it denies the people the intended benefits of those projects.
Mr Mahama wondered why a government that called itself competent should take almost two years to audit simple projects.
He was optimistic that the NDC will win the 2020 elections to enable it continue its work and reduce the high cost of living as well as provide jobs for the people.
Former President John Dramani Mahama has started his re-election campaign tour.
He is currently in the Northern Region after his four days tour to Central Region to commence his nationwide campaign to seek a re-election to lead his party, the National Democratic Congress
A total of 11 aspirants have so far declared their interest to lead the NDC.
Prof Joshua Alabi, Mr Ekwow Spio Garbrah and Mr Alban Bagbin are the ones leading the opposition arguing that Mr. Mahama does not deserve a second chance on the ticket of the NDC.
The NDC as part of the re-organisation for Election 2020 was waiting to elect new national officers before the presidential primary.

Why is Mahama embarrassing himself?
Nsem wo world. JM's big dream is to build terminal 3. This guy mess up paa. How many people will ever use terminal 3 in their lifetime, compared to 1000s of people enjoying free education? Which of these dreams is big??? He is a joker. No wonder his people don't like him. This statement is a free propaganda line for NPP.

Of course it takes a serious dreamer to s-t-e-a-l the sums of monies you pinched from the people of Ghana. You build an airport terminal and you call yourself a dreamer?Dreamers are the people who dream that a country with an educated population is the way forward to industrialisation. Dreamers are people who Dream that their country should get away from the shadow of borrowing and work their way beyond aid.Stop this inane talk anytime you take shots of whatever you poison yourself with .We are getting tired of your incessant drivel.
8 YEARS OF DUMSOR. NKOMFEM IN BURKINA.STX .FAILED SADA GYEEDA. BUS BRANDING . ATTA MILLS KILLING .ECT.WAKE GHANAIANS .STOP HAVING SHORT MEMORIES.ENOUGH OF NDC ALWAYS SENDING GHANA BACKWARDS.
So building an airport terminal, not the entire airport, is your understanding of big dreams. This Mahama guy is just a total disaster. Please tell Ghanaians one social intervention you will implement that will better their lives, and stop attacking the government all the time. You did that when the man was in opposition, yet he won the elections, so why not try and change strategy? Or you are so incompetent, you cannot even think far?
