NDC had lots of achievements but failed to communicate them – Mahama regrets

He laments the inability of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) to drum home the infrastructural projects, policies and programs that were intended to better the lives of the ordinary citizen –  a development he pinpoints as one of his major lessons ever learnt as President.

On what mistakes we made that we could correct, several things come to my mind and one of the things was that we were not as forceful in letting the people see what we had done for them?

We assumed that they will see it.

He referred to the unprecedented projects that the party catalogued in the famous ‘Green Book’ but quickly added that not properly clearing the doubt created in the minds of the populace and particularly the-then opposition, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) is one that cost his government.

“During the elections, one of the most contentious things that came up was that with the help of my team, we compiled all our achievements into the Green book and published it, and you know what our opponents did

They said some of the things were photoshopped and do not exist.”

The aspiring flagbearer of the NDC admitted that the lessons learnt thereof are guiding him in his future endeavours.
