The presidential candidate for the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama, has criticized President Akufo-Addo for deceiving God by opting for a mere hole instead of constructing a National Cathedral.

During a campaign tour in Shama, Mahama accused President Akufo-Addo of misleading the local residents by claiming he would provide them with a hospital.

Reflecting on the promise made by Akufo-Addo to God prior to the 2016 elections, Mahama asserted that the president misled God by vowing to build a National Cathedral. "God entrusted power to Nana Addo when he made the promise of a National Cathedral.

Instead, he has only delivered a large dug-out hole in Accra. "If he can deceive God in such a manner, what makes the people of Shama believe he will fulfill his promise of a hospital?" Mahama remarked while ridiculing the President. "If Akufo-Addo can trick God with a hole instead of a National Cathedral, what does that say about us?" Mahama further admonished the president.
