Mahama lacks principles - Akufo-Addo
President John Mahama is not a man of principles
or truthfulness, flag bearer of the main
opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) has said.

“A leader without principle, a leader without
commitment, a leader incapable of maintaining the
truth and telling the truth to the people; such a
leader does not deserve the trust of the people of
Ghana. He does not deserve the trust of the people
of Ghana. We cannot trust Mahama. The Ghanaian
people cannot trust John Dramani Mahama,” Mr
Akufo-Addo said at a rally in Akim Oda, on
Saturday, November 19, 2016, the last day of his
4-day tour of the Eastern Region.

The NPP flag bearer noted that with 16 days to the
holding of the December 7 elections, President
Mahama, out of desperation, will announce a
plethora of phantom promises to the Ghanaian
electorate, and will also flip-flop on key
issues.

One such desperate move and change in stance on
the part of the President, Nana Akufo-Addo
recounted, is the decision to partially restore
the allowances of nurse trainees.

It will be recalled that President Mahama on
September 8, 2016, publicly stated that it is
“better to lose on principle than win using
falsehoods. We’ll not reverse the decision.”

The NPP flag bearer noted that despite President
Mahama’s opposition to the restoration of the
allowance all these years, he has suddenly changed
his mind. Trainee nurses were recently paid
GH¢150 as their monthly allowance.

This, Nana Akufo-Addo noted is a clear indication
that “he (President Mahama) is not a man of
principle, he is not a man of commitment, and he
is not a man of truth. We cannot put our destinies
in the hands of such a man.”

To this end, Nana Akufo-Addo is urging Ghanaians
to repose their confidence in him and in the NPP,
saying that “we have the men and women who can
give us a first-class government and return us
onto the path of progress and prosperity within a
very short spate of time.”

An Akufo-Addo government, God-willing, from
January 2017, he told the crowd, will help create
jobs and bring wealth to the people of Ghana,
assuring them that “we will change the face our
nation and bring progress and prosperity to our
country.”
