“When you couldn’t keep the lights on, what are you coming to do?” Akufo-Addo makes fun of Mahama

President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has criticized the National Democratic Congress (NDC) flagbearer, John Dramani Mahama, describing his “24-hour economy” policy as lacking clarity and substance.

The President argued that Mahama has no fresh ideas to address Ghana’s challenges and urged voters to reject him in the presidential election on Saturday, December 7.

Speaking to religious and traditional leaders, as well as New Patriotic Party (NPP) supporters in the Tema West constituency during his campaign tour of the Greater Accra Region, President Akufo-Addo emphasized that Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia is the most qualified candidate to lead Ghana into the future.

He lauded the NPP’s track record of innovative policies and governance, asserting that continuity under Bawumia would ensure sustained development and progress for the nation.

“What is he [John Dramani Mahama] coming to do? 24-hour economy. You couldn’t keep the lights on in the four years in which you were in power for 12 hours a day.

“How are you going to run a 24-hour economy when 12 hours a day, you couldn’t keep the lights on? You couldn’t pay the teacher training allowance. You couldn’t pay nurses training allowance.”
