Fellow Ghanaians, we present to you a 100 out of the many reasons why it is prudent to renew the Akufo-Addo-led NPP government’s mandate to continue the good work, protect what we have achieved and transform our beloved country for the citizenry.
They are a 100 reasons for you to find it suicidal to hand over this serious nation again to a candidate who is seeking to build his personal stomach infrastructure and run this forward looking nation aground with incompetence. We cannot trust our future with a man who needs our mandate to correct his mistakes after telling us in 2016 that he has a dead goat syndrome and won’t listen to anyone.
He froze employment at the public sector, also told us to park our cars and use ‘trotro’ or a bicycle if we can’t afford the volatile fuel price hikes during his tenure. He told us he is not a magician to put money in our pockets, we must be ready to pay more for electricity if we genuinely want reliable and sustainable power and wouldn’t listen to critics from opposition, the clergy, traditional rulers etc because they have not been Presidents before. Let us check out these 100 reasons and reject Mahama again.
