John Mahama and Jane Naana Opoku Agyemang
The opposition NDC has told the people it is on a rescue mission, claiming the ruling government has destroyed the fabric of the society.
The NDC’s rescue mission is actually a desperate mission to return to the privileges of office but not as a concern for the challenges of our society.
John Mahama and his running mate, Jane Naana Opoku Agyemang and the NDC have sent an SOS message to the electorate to save the soul of the party by voting them to return to power.
The leadership of the NDC knows that the December 7 offers it the opportunity to remain relevant in the country’s political space. Thus the two frontrunners and the rest of the leadership of the NDC have made it a policy to mislead the electorate. That is why a section of the leadership, led by the National Chairman, Johnson Asiedu Nketia thinks that the exercise of indiscretion by the Attorney General, Godfred Yeboah Dame in the ambulance case can be used by the NDC for political gain.
The NDC again thinks the purchase of SSNIT hotels by Bryan Acheampong, Minister of Food and Agriculture was an abuse of office and must be used to cause disaffection for the NPP government in an election year.
As if that is not enough for the NDC to win the hearts of the people, John Mahama and Jane Naana Opoku Agyemang have resorted to the distortion of facts in the media space for the sake of electoral gain. The active observers of the media space are aware of the misrepresentation of the situation as if they never had the opportunity to run the country in the past.
John Mahama was President of the Republic from 2012 to 2016, and Jane Naana Opoku Agyemang was his adviser on education as the Minister of Education. It was during the tenure of Jane Naana Opoku Agyemang that the teacher trainee allowance was cancelled.
John Mahama upon the advice of Jane Naana Opoku Agyemang, made it clear in 2016 during the heat of the 2016 elections that he would never restore the allowance even if that would cost him the elections.
The NDC and its allies have perfected the act of propaganda to the extent that they have managed to win some gullible hearts to their cause. John Mahama has also studied the behaviour of Ghanaians to the extent that he has diagnosed us of having short memories. What John Mahama has not been able to do is to describe the solution to the short memory ailment. Again, that explains why John Mahama and Naana Jane Opoku Agyemang would have the guts to tell Ghanaians to give him another chance to “remake” Ghana so that he would have the opportunity to right the mess he caused in 2012 to 2016.
Faced with the challenge, to convince the teacher trainees and nursing trainees to be friends of the NDC, these two characters, John Mahama and Jane Naana Opoku Agyemang have changed their tone, now trying to blame the implementation process for the challenges.
Now these two people are not talking about the rationale behind the abolition of the allowances, but that the allowances must be paid under a different format. Do these two people credit Ghanaians with some intelligence at all?
The people under whose watch as President of the Republic and flagbearer of the NDC as well as the Minister of Education took to the media to diminish Free Senior High School (FSHS), think it can be better implemented. They as leaders of the NDC supervised over 40 adverts to give reasons why free SHS cannot be implemented.
John Mahama confirmed his belief in the creation of a class society by keeping a section of the youth out of school because their parents are poor by his profound statement that, “If I have two billion cedis, I would not spend it on free SHS”.
Franklin Fifi Kwetey, then a Minister of State, now the General Secretary of the NDC, described free SHS as a 419 scam. Furthermore, in the heat of Election 2020, John Mahama said, free SHS was a desperate policy by a desperate politician.
