President Akufo-Addo thinks former President Mahama does not have the fear of God in him.
Either than that, he says Mahama who is the Presidential Candidate of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) would not make lies and deceit the fulcrum of his campaign.
Addressing a mini rally at Tarkwa in the Tarkwa-Nsueam constituency on the second day of his campaign tour of the Western region, he said “today, Mahama is going round making promises, saying I will do this and that, and I ask why couldn’t you do that when you were given the opportunity.”
Meanwhile, he said “everyone knows you didn’t do anything when you were there, reasons Ghanaians voted you out.”
“Are you not surprised Mahama is today saying he brought Free SHS?”, he asked the charged crowd, to a spontaneous applause of ‘yes’
He could not but asked rhetorically “so this man doesn’t fear God?”
That, he said was because “this was the same man who said the implementation of Free SHS will collapse Ghana and described it as a dangerous policy did everything possible to stop Akufo-Addo from bring Free SHS. So why then do you come back and say you brought it? ”
That, he said was because “his campaign has fallen flat; Mahama’s campaign has collapsed; it has collapsed in confusion, it has collapsed in misrepresentation, fabrication and now deceit.”
“They think Ghanaians easily forget because Mahama himself has said Ghanaians have a short memory because he doesn’t have the slighest of respect for Ghanaians; it is tomorrow’s (today’s) week that we have to show Mahama whether we have short memory or not”, he stated.
President Akufo-Addo therefore asked Ghanaians to let Mahama know that they do not have short memories like he thinks of them by voting against him.
Prior to that, he had commissioned an Astro turf in Sekondi where Andrew Egyapa Mercer is the Member of Parliament (MP) and the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) Parliamentary Candidate.
From there, he moved to Kwesimintsim where Dr Prince Hamid Armah is the Parliamentary Candidate and addressed a mini rally where hordes of party supporters had gathered at the lorry station.
President Akufo-Addo was awed by the numbers that had gathered to meet him.
He therefore could not but ask them to translate the cheers into massive votes come December 7 by voting for the NPP whilst cautioning against skirt and blouse.
He considered the upcoming as a crucial one for the future of the country and therefore asked all NPP supporters and Ghanaians not to be complacent, but rather go out in their numbers to tell people about the good works the government has done for the past 4years.
That, he said was because “if you don’t vote, Akufo-Addo and the NPP cannot win.”
He then proceeded to Mpohor where John Sanie is the party’s Parliamentary Candidate.
Even before the President could enter the Mpohor township, people had lined up along the streets of Apowa to wave and cheer the President with chants of four more.
President Akufo-Addo later addressed mini rallies in Ahanta West where Ebenezer Kojo Kum is the Parliamentary Candidate and the Tarkwa Nsuaem where George Mireku Duker is the Parliamentary Candidate.
