Failed Akufo-Addo Should Handover to NDC if he can’t lead the country – Mahama to Akufo-Addo
Failed Akufo-Addo Should Handover: Former President and the 2020 presidential candidate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) John Dramani Mahama has said only a “poor leader” like Nana Akufo-Addo will keep blaming his predecessor for his ‘failures’ five years into his presidency.
Speaking at NDC’s 40th-anniversary commemoration of the 31st December Revolution in Accra on Friday, Mr. John Mahama said: “Leadership is about responsibility”, insisting: “It is only a poor leader who shirks responsibilities and shifts blames”.
Demonstrating the difference between his leadership and that of President Akufo-Addo, Mr. Mahama said: “We had power crisis – dumsor in this country – because of lack of investment in generation for many years, and, so, we were consuming more power than we generated”.
“That was the situation I met and yet, I did not say it is not my fault. I went to Parliament, took responsibility for it, and promised to fix it, which we did.”
“Today, somebody [President Akufo-Addo] claims he inherited a weak economy, which he hasn’t been able to be responsible for 5 years on”.
“It’s always about Mahama and NDC”.
“If he [Nana Akufo-Addo] cannot do the job, he should give way for the NDC to do it for you.” He emphasized.
