![NPP To Launch Manifesto Of Lies -Mahama](http://ghheadlines.com/images/default.png)
Even before the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) launches their manifesto in the Western region, the flag bearer of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama, has fired salvos, describing the content as lies.
Ahead of the launch on Sunday, August 18, 2024, of the NPP manifesto, John Mahama told the people of the Volta region not to expect anything of substance since the party in government has failed to honour the social contract it had with Ghanaians.
Addressing the Asogli state in the Volta Region as part of his campaign, Mahama accused the NPP of not living up to expectations and subjecting Ghana to uneasy hardship.
“Ghana has never seen this kind of hardship before,” he said.
The former president has therefore asked Ghanaians not to take the upcoming manifesto launch by the NPP seriously since it will be mere rhetoric.
Expressing appreciation of the NDC to the people of Volta for rallying behind the party, John Mahama said, “We want to express our appreciation to the people of the Volta Region for standing behind the NDC over the years.”
“We don’t take your support for granted. We don’t call Volta Region the World Bank for nothing, not because your votes are the highest, but when it comes to voting percentage terms, no region comes close to Volta Region.
Fighting back what he described as NPP propaganda, John Mahama, who is eyeing his comeback at the seat of government, told the Voltarians not to fall for propaganda staged by the NPP in order to sway them into the fold of the NPP.
“Almost every community in the Volta Region got electricity due to the tenure of the NDC. You cannot quantify the level of development the NDC has brought to the NDC,” he said.
According to John Mahama, the NPP has not done anything for the region, emphasizing all the projects initiated by the NDC administration have come to a halt after 2017.
He accused the NPP of colatralizing the source of funding for the projects, adding that all the E-blocks, water projects, roads, and other projects have come to a standstill, adding that the NPP is only doing selective development.
Touting the feats of the umbrella movement in the Volta region, John Mahama stated that in the face of propaganda that the NPP continuously subjects the people of the Volta region, anytime that NDC comes to power, they give the Volta region their fair share of the national cake.
“Anytime that we come to office, we invest in the things that will change the lives of the people,” naming the provision of infrastructure such as senior high schools, buses, and others.
“We provide health facilities such as CHPS compounds, health centres, and hospitals,” he said.
According to John Mahama, when the NDC, under the late John Evans Atta Mills, announced that they were going to build a university for the region, the NPP were making mockery of them, but today, the president has gone for an award.
Prior to his address, President Mahama lauded the overlord of Asogli State, Togbe Afede, describing him as a leader of many branches.
