Former minister, Seth Emmanuel Terkper, has indicated that the worst performance of his party, NDC, is the NPP's best performance.
Speaking at a recent public lecture, the Chartered Accountant stated that at the end of NDC’s second term in 2016, which was also John Mahama’s first term as President, Ghana was having only one oil field as compared to three under Akufo-Addo/Bawumia's leadership.
Therefore, “comparing the performance of the NPP at the end of 2018 to the performance of the NDC at the end of 2016, is comparing our [NDC's] worst to what is supposed to be their [NPP's] best,” he explained.
He added that in the past not a single drop of Ghana’s crude oil was exported to earn the country foreign exchange.
But, under the NPP, Mr Terkper explained, the government is earning more than four billion dollars from the three oil fields.
Thus, Seth Terkper has thrown the challenge of comparison back to NPP by pointing at a new earner which did not exist in the past and which should be factored into the national debate about economic performance Ken Ofori-Atta raised when he presented the 2020 budget to Parliament earlier this month.

Your best performance is your incompetency that took us to the IMF. Is that what you call good performance? Your government is the worse and most ever incompetent government in the history of the forth republic of Ghana.Do you know that? That is the fact Mr.incompetent finance minister.
Tekper is subtly campaigning for the VP position. All of a sudden, he all over the airwaves. Not sure what it will take for these NDC people think they are just wasting their energy and time.
Dont you people see the rate of dollar cedi exchange. That is the gauge. This family and friends government cannot compared itself to Mahama's government. Point to one thing that they have done.
Mr. Tekper, what happened to the oil produced during your time? At least, Akufo-Addo has told us he will use oil revenue t o send children to school, which he is doing. I suspect this man is doing this for the Vice-President slot in the NDC. We wait to see.
Is this incompetent former finance minister still talking? Remember you took us to IMF.....
