What are the actual initiated and executed national projects by John Dramani Mahama?

Watching a video on Monday, May 20, 2024, in which the Finance and Economic Minister under the late President Professor Evans Fiifi Atta Mills, Dr. Kwabena Duffour, was granting an interview to a journalist/broadcaster, I was shocked to learn about certain revelations.

All along, the NDC has been telling Ghanaians about their achievements in terms of national infrastructural developments initiated and executed by John Dramani Mahama. Their claims make it appear as though the late President Atta Mills, for all his two years or so as president of Ghana, did neither initiate nor carry out a single project in Ghana until his unfortunate and mysterious passing.

Dr. Kwabena Duffour mentioned many projects, including the Komenda Sugar Factory, as some of the projects initiated and/or executed by the late President Atta Mills. However, the NDC has all along been attributing such projects to John Dramani Mahama to the complete exclusion of any mention of Professor Mills.

Why should it take Dr. Kwabena Duffour to let Ghanaians know that President Mills indeed initiated and/or carried out some projects of which the NDC, for some unexplained reasons, although malicious of course, have denied him recognition or attribution?

Dr. Duffour, as the finance minister, did sign to approve some of the payments for such projects as were authorised by the president. Again, he helped with the resourcing of finance or loans for some of the projects as authorized by President Mills.

Have Ghanaians now seen and confirmed the many lies the NDC always tells to throw dust into our eyes or to confuse us into accepting their lies as truth?

Messrs. Allotey Jacobs and Koku Anyidoho, both once powerful members of the NDC, have for all these past few years been telling Ghanaians that the NDC is overflowing with lies. Subsequently, if the NDC tells us that something is white, we should take it for black, and vice versa, because telling the truth is anathema to them.

Could this not explain why they inundated their “Green Book” informing the nation of their realised developmental projects with fake and non-existing projects that were never found when curious citizens decided to carry out verifications?

Do I have to wonder about the fact that NDC is a bunch of liars? Has John Mahama, not himself, said that he will tell his audience lies during his electioneering campaign, provided that they will turn their hearts toward him and vote for him?

Fellow Ghanaians, don’t let us continue to be deceived by John Mahama and his NDC folks. They have nothing better to offer the nation except to throw dust into people’s eyes and claim to be the originators of other people’s projects, ideas, and policies.

For how long will Ghanaians continue to accept the lies of the NDC for the truth?

NDC, please give Professor Mills his due and stop arrogating the credit due him to John Mahama.

How can someone unable to make decisions himself right from his infancy until today come up with the projects carried out in the name of, and by, NDC, as found in the country?

This confirms the assertion by Dr. Duffour that most of the projects credited to Mahama by the NDC were initiated by Professor Atta Mills.

John Mahama and the NDC have been exposed big time!

More revelations are to come from the few honest members of the NDC party to expose the lies and shallowness of Mr. Mahama and his bandwagon of liars.

Dr. Bawumia is by far better at innovating and helping to advance the nation than John Dramani Mahama, the known destructive critic.

Dr. Bawumia all the way to the presidency to do more for Ghana. IT IS POSSIBLE by Mr. Digital!
