You cannot compare your useless govt to Nkrumah’s govt – Mahama to NAPO

The Flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Mahama has advised the New Patriotic Party (NPP) never to try comparing President Akufo-Addo’s abysmal performance to Dr. Kwame Nkrumah.

Dr. Mathew Opoku Prempeh, also known as NAPO has indicated that Dr. Kwame Nkrumah’s performance as President cannot come close to President Akufo-Addo.

According to NAPO, “Since independence from 1957 till today, we have not had any president that has helped Ghana like Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo. I say from 1957 till today, you can bring your Kwame Nkrumah… no president has protected Ghana and moved the country forward like Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo”.

In a sharp rebuttal, Mr. Mahama stated that Dr. Nkrumah’s achievements are unparalleled.

“All the NPP is doing now is dabbling in propaganda. They claim they have honored all their promises. We are the best government since independence; not even Kwame Nkrumah’s government can be compared to us. Such a useless government, how can you compare yourself with Nkrumah’s government? Nkrumah was a visionary.

“Till date, let’s shut down the Akosombo Dam and see if we’ll have a power supply in this country. Meanwhile, this dam was commissioned in 1965, and till now, it is the bulwark of our power supply in this country. Today, let us close the Tema Motorway and see if people can travel around in Ghana. Tema Harbour was built by Nkrumah. If we didn’t have the harbor, could we have been able to import things into Ghana? Kotoka Airport was built by Nkrumah.”

“You dare not compare yourself to Nkrumah, don’t try! If the NPP wants to do a comparison, they should not do that with Nkrumah. Mahama is just here, I am around. Don’t do your comparison with Rawlings, Kufuor, or Mills. I did four years in government; you’ve also done four years. They should present their track record, and we’ll also present ours so that Ghanaians can compare. That comparison, the NPP is not courageous enough to do.”
