John Dramani Mahama on his deceitful campaign advertisements again

Fellow Ghanaians, please don’t fall for the propaganda campaign tactics adopted by John Dramani Mahama and his NDC guys to steal your votes in the December 7, 2024, general election.

I remember vividly, or should I say, it is too fresh in my mind, the negative television and radio advertisements mounted by Team “Ede bii keke," thus the NDC, headed by John Mahama, during the 2012 electioneering campaign.

They mounted an unceasing series of sabotaging advertisements in attempts to rubbish the then-promised introduction of free senior high school by NPP presidential candidate Nana Akufo-Addo. They attacked all the policies and programmes promised by Nana Akufo-Addo, lying to Ghanaians and claiming such programmes were not feasible, let alone possible.

Nevertheless, those programmes have turned out to be a huge success. John Mahama and the NDC are now claiming to be the originators of those lucrative policies and programmes, obviously known to have been conceived and implemented by the two big brains, Nana Akufo-Addo and Dr. Bawumia. Shame on the NDC and their Commander-in-Chief!

Now, they have started fooling Ghanaians again by mounting political advertisements on John Mahama’s promise to establish a 24-hour economy in Ghana should he win the general election in 2024.

In the advertisement, they are telling Ghanaians that a factory currently having a workforce of 100 people will double the number so that the other hundred will do the night shift. He will employ the same number of market women working during the day to work during the night.

Let me pause to ask: who will be frequenting the markets from twilight until daybreak to patronise the goods on sale in the markets?

Are Ghanaians with such peanut-sized brains and a short memory able to buy into this completely dishonest promise of the establishment of a 24-hour economy by John Mahama?

How can he double the workforce of every factory, public, and private service establishment to get people working day and night shifts, as the mendacious advertisement purports?

The advertisement I sighted that has given rise to this publication is overflowing with mendacious propaganda directed at turning the hearts of those politically unsavvy and gullible Ghanaian electorates to vote for him and the NDC.

Had John Mahama not publicly told Ghanaians that during his electioneering campaign he would tell his audience both lies and truths, provided the sweet lies would turn their hearts to him to get them to vote for him? Why then fall for his blatant lie of the establishment of a 24-hour economy, hook, line, and sinker?

No factory in Ghana could double its workforce overnight, purposefully for the fulfillment of John Mahama’s thoughtless promise of a 24-hour economy, without other economic factors first being in place.

Will there be the availability of raw materials, a market for the goods, skilled labour, etc., to necessitate the employment of more people and the running of a 24-hour day and night operation of the factories?

His promise of the 24-hour economy is just to fool those shallow-minded Ghanaians who may be partisan and politically polarized into voting for him to power.

The son of Kumawu/Asiampa soil is coming with a big cane to give Mr. Mahama strokes of the cane whenever he lies to the public. I am not lying. I am serious. He will be mentally tortured through exposure by the writer.

Those like-minded liars and dishonest guys publishing non-stop articles in support of him for their parochial and selfish interests, get ready to face the wrath of Rockson Adofo.

Despite the economic challenges facing the Akufo-Addo and Bawumia NPP governments, they are more visionary, focused, dedicated, and dynamic than John Mahama and his NDC. Therefore, I entreat Ghanaians not to dare usher in the NDC, for they are merely a bunch of visionless liars in pursuit of personal wealth at the expense of the Ghanaian poor masses.

I don’t condone any acts of malfeasance by any political party or politician; Ghanaians had better take note of that.
