Mahama’s helicopter tour not due to bad roads in N/Region – NDC
The National Democratic Congress (NDC), has
dismissed suggestions that President Mahama used
helicopters during his tour of the Northern Region
because of the deplorable state of roads in that
part of the country.

The Spokesperson for Nana Akufo Addo, the
flagbearer of the opposition New Patriotic Party
(NPP), Mustapha Hamid, suggested that recent
personal attacks by President Mahama on the
opposition candidate were only attempts to divert
people’s attention from the deplorable
conditions in the region.

Bad roads or not?

This is not the first time the two parties have
clashed over roads on their campaign tours.

Nana Addo had bemoaned the state of roads in the
region during his five-day tour of the Western
Region, criticizing the government for failing to
honour its promise to fix the roads.

President Mahama, who toured the region days
after, hit back at Nana Addo, stating that the NPP
flagbearer must have been sleeping to have missed
the good work done by the government on the
roads.

The NPP described the comments as unpresidential
while the party’s flagbearer said that “did
not see the roads he [President Mahama]
constructed. It was the same poor muddy roads I
used in the region. I was wondering what roads he
was talking about.”
