John Mahama is 'specialist in killing businesses' – Akufo-Addo jabs
The New Patriotic Party (NPP) 2016 flagbearer Nana
Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo says the barrier to
Ghana’s prosperity is the National Democratic
Congress (NDC) government headed by President John
Mahama.

He explained Ghana’s shrinking economy is
evidence pointing to one fact that the President
is a specialist in killing businesses.

The NPP leader was speaking in the Ashanti
regional capital, Kumasi, where a conference was
organised to focus political attention in Zongo
communities where economically disadvantaged
Muslim families live.

Pitching camp at the conference are the
Vice-Presidential candidate Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia,
the Minority leader Osei Kyei Mensah Bonsu, former
NPP Chairman Peter Mac Manu, and former General
Secretary Kwadwo Owusu Afriyie.

A depleted national executives committee was
present following the suspension of three of
members.

The Zongo community usually an electoral card for
the NDC is seen as a strategic voting block for
the NPP.

‘I need your help’, Nana Addo, the two-time
challenger entering into his third electoral match
with the NDC appealed to the Zongos. He asked them
to take a good look at John Mahama’s record and
vote him out.

Explaining this record, the NPP leader said shop
owners and SMEs have now tagged President John
Mahama as a ‘killer of businesses’ because of
the many that have collapsed under his watch.

He repeated a judge’s description that a
judgement debt scandal that hit government in 2011
showed evidence of a deliberate plan inside
government, to ‘create, loot and share’.

The description has since become a mantra for the
opposition against government.

Under his leadership, Nana Addo promised that this
mantra will be replaced by honesty, work hard and
prosperity.

The Mahama government, he said, is aware of an
impending defeat and has therefore resorted to
‘lies, blatant fabrications, propaganda and
tribal politics’.

Nana Addo suggested he speaks the minds of many
when he says ‘Ghana’s hope is the NPP’.
