The flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama, has sharply criticized the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), branding it as Ghana's biggest political scam since independence. Speaking at the NDC's manifesto launch at the University of Education, Winneba, in the Central Region, Mahama did not mince words as he laid bare his assessment of the NPP's governance. He accused the NPP of misleading Ghanaians with grand promises that have not been fulfilled. "This NPP administration has been the biggest political scam that has been pulled on Ghanaians since our independence in 1957 and I will explain why. "They repackage with ribbons and sweetly scented with enticing promises. Most Ghanaians will agree that Nana Akufo-Addo is indeed the president Ghana never got and I dare say that his much-touted economic wizkid, Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia is also the economic messiah Ghana never got," he stated.
