John Dramani Mahama
Brilliant students have always been the toast of teachers, parents and the community as well as their peers.
The “poor” students dread the experience in school because their more intelligent counterparts always make fun of them. What is known as “copy copy” is the hallmark of such students, making education unattractive to them.
In our political scheme of things, the NDC and its leader, John Mahama have become “copycats”. When then candidate Akufo-Addo made the profound promise to introduce free Senior High School (SHS) in 2008, the NDC and John Mahama said it was a pipedream, but about 16 years on, the NDC claims John Mahama introduced the free SHS.
In John Mahama’s own words, the free SHS proposal was a whimsical policy from a desperate politician. It did not end there, but other elements in the NDC including its present General Secretary, Fifi Kwetey said it is “419 or all lie be lie.”
The “apostles of probity and accountability” who tout themselves as social democrats, carried over 40 advertisements against the free SHS. We may have been infected by John Mahama’s diagnosis of Ghanaians as suffering from “short memories”, and that is why he can change his tongue on every occasion just for power.
Presently, John Mahama and his running mate Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang are on what we call “promise-a-thon” just to convince the electorate that the NDC too has some agenda to “reset” the country.
If there is a political party that has specialised in “419” schemes, the NDC cannot be exempted. The man who today wants to take credit for the free SHS policy, not too long ago, claimed the final year SHS students were aided to score good grades at the West African Senior School Certificate Examinations (WASSCE).
But unlike magicians of yore who faced with challenges on stage will chant and ask wherever he derived his powers not to put him to shame, Thomas Amoani, formerly of the Adeiso Presby SHS, by his sterling performance in UK, has put John Mahama to shame.
The NDC has so far taken Ghanaians for granted, and that is why after criticising the Akufo-Addo government for inflicting pain on the people turn round to copy the good things the NPP government is doing or claim credit for the good dividends from such policies.
Just last weekend, at the Youth Manifesto launch, John Mahama now promises the youth a credit system to help them to run their businesses, after NDC apparatchiks had lashed at Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia for daring to introduce the credit scoring system to ease the burden of the acquisition of some products by Ghanaians.
Fellow Ghanaians, after John Mahama also said that if he has a whooping two billion Ghana cedis, he would not spend same on free SHS.
The NDC flagbearer takes Ghanaians for granted, and that is why John Mahama can look the people in the face and lie to them that in the unlikely event that he is elected, he will provide free education for all first year university students, both public and private. This can only come from a very confused person, whose appreciation of the dynamics of governance is questionable.
We have said time and again, that Ghanaians are facing serious economic challenges but John Mahama, who claims to be the messiah has not come out with policies to rescue the nation.
Anybody who wants to seek refuge on a falling tree is doomed for disaster. We should not buy into John Mahama’s “sweet tongue.”
