Imagine if Mahama was in power and all the things this writer said happened, by now Ghana would have been on fire. Our hypocrisy has made these Akyem Mafias and their associates disrespect us a lot.

It's interesting and childish how the NDC is still talking about how the NPP branded JM as incompetent and corrupt and today JM is vindicated...

Understand that NPP wanted to win and they did what they had to do to win. NDC at the time didn't do enough to counter the label and it stuck on JM like glue and paper.

Instead of crying about what happened in 2916 and feeling sorry, it is time for NDC to do serious negative branding about their opponent and use every available medium to make that label stick while promoting JM in as positive a light as possible.

Bawumia keeps dancing and lying and insulting our intelligence and all we do is share his videos and laugh not recognizing that every share helps him because any publicity is good publicity.

With all these glaring statistics, you're still making noise about NPP. You gotta be very delusional and sick in the head.

The article full of bias, for instance fuel is not 16.60. I have been buying fuel everyday. The write up is not based on facts. Apuuu. The writer can't declare NDC being better than NPP. Across the country, and among the over 30m citizens we all have what look up to. During NDC Mahama time all these stats mentioned were in the upward direction, they never come down for once.

Stop that stupidity.

What was the dollar to the cedi when Mills/Mahama took over from Kufuor?
What was the percentage increase?

How much was a gallon of diesel when you took power from Kufuor, and how much dud you leave it. Tell us the percentage increase.

If today fuel prices are high, inflation is high and the exchange rate is high no sensible person will fault the Nana Addo/Bawumia because this a global crisis.

Inspite of the global economic crisis the Nana Addo / Bawumia administration because their standard of infrastructural development is second to none.

No government, since independence has been able to undertake such massive developmental projects.

Ghanaians will no more fall for your deception and propaganda.

We want development, and the NPP is our only hope.

Write whatever you like NPP is winning the 2024 elections hands down.

It's only in Ghana, every past president is seen better than the current president, from Nkrumah up to date. The country needs a developmental agenda devoid of partisan politics. A country who always need grants n support to run it's economy has to experience shocks when unexpected happens like Covid. Covid exposed countries whose main motpurpose is to rely on other countries n import driven.

The state of the economy will happen to any government in power. Check from 2017 to 19. Ghana was ranked the faster growing economy in the sub region until Covid strikes. We are experiencing massive investment in our educational sector, though the economy is bad, we are seeing massive roadworks, interchanges, hospitals n infrastructural works.

We sit in our home n renew our passports, drivers license, company cert n other general needs.

With NDC n NPP the only difference is NPP brings social policies on board n NDC thinks only about infrastructure. We need a national planning committee.
NDC stayed at home for 7yrs but yet we don't see anything meaningful they telling us to give the country back to them. Cos pls if u will compare, just compare globally. How other countries are fairing.

And about loans, if u owing 10million Dollars in 2yrs n u are serving it builds up cos of huge interest our leaders don't mind n go n access them. Gm

The npp split up the regions after studying the red and yellow paper. I fear for Ghana that they will stay in power. The whole one district one factory thing... Didn't really help the people, only some business men got some extra coins in their pocket, I think. And now all extra taxes for a better environment (the IMF has its influence) but what will it be used for? Paying off the debt or new cars or renting private jets?
The people around me or not really aware off all that is going on, they only suffer more looking for work and money to pay for the rising cost off daily food.
