NDC a group of competent people working for Ghana. One of them is the Vice President .

Under NDC we have seen the Expansion of the intake of the public Teacher Training Colleges from 9000 to 15,000+ qualified applicants in 2014. This significant expansion (6000+) is as a result of the scrapping of the trainees allowances and the introduction of 'Mahama camboo' vehicles to promote easy transportation and create jobs for the teeming youth

Thanks to NDC we have the introduction of the National Medical Outreach Programme (ONUADO) to give health assistance to the citizenry free of charge, particularly those at the deprived communities and introduction of the EBAN cards aimed at registering the aged/elderly (65+) to offer them priority and special access to health, transportation, banking, and other public services and places

Under Mahama we have the steadily conversion of the polythecnics to Technical Universities. The Kumasi, Ho, Takoradi, Accra, Sunyani, and Koforidua polythecnics would start pursuing technical degree courses in September this year and the expansion of the NHIS from 1 million+ in 2008 to over 10 million registered members with the introduction of the biometric system and other mechanisms

Mahama must Stay till 2021 to complete his Transforming Ghana agenda.

The NPP administration in their eight (8) years in office never completed one (1) single Power Generation Plant ..... but the NDC government has brought in new plants and expanded the already existing ones. These include, the Karpower plant, Ameri, TTP, Asogli, Kpone power plant and others. This is the reason why we no longer experience the problematic dumsor

The reaction by NPP supporters shows that the Veep is right. He exposes the voodoo economist Bawumia---good at criticizing ,but very weak at presenting solutions .

VEEP knows a lot about Economics and he has demonstrated. The NPP has a record of budget deficit.

The NPP government in their eight (8) years in office never established one (1) single public university ........ but the NDC government has established the University of Health and Allied Sciences (UHAS) at Ho in the Volta region, and the University of Energy and Natural Resources at Sunyani in the Brong Ahafo region. These two (2) public universities had already admitted students. Again, another university is being established at Somanya in the Eastern region

The NPP administration in their eight (8) years in office never upgraded one single airport to the International status ...... but both the Tamale and Kumasi airports are being upgraded to the International status by the NDC government, adding up to the only existing Kotoka International Airport since time in memorial. Again, there is ongoing construction of new airport at Ho in the Volta region

NPP will waste state resources and not develop Ghana.

Mahama has worked to make Ghana great though :

1. Introduction of the Rural Enterprises Programme (REP) to create jobs for the youth, particularly those in the informal sector.

Introduction of the Secondary Education Improvement Project (SEIP) which aims at increasing access to Senior Secondary Education in undeserved districts and improve quality in low-performing SHSs in the country.

3. Distribution of 10,000 Made in Ghana school sandals to deprived pupils
