Hooligans within the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) were involved in an act of vandalism, pulling down billboards featuring John Mahama’s Dada Noaa campaign slogan in various parts of Accra.
The billboards highlighted the failed promises of the former president Mahama and displayed quotes representing his perceived insensitive and inhumane remarks.
Some of the messages included “Stop the purposeless lamentation and self-pity,” “I am not a magician to put money into your pockets,” “No chalk in schools,” and “Ghanaians complain too much.”
The messages on these billboards evidently have infuriated some Mahama loyalists, prompting them to take matters into their own hands and remove the billboards.
This incident serves as a stark reminder of the growing tension between the NDC and the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) as the 2024 elections approach. The NPP and its supporters appear determined to outshine the opposition party by focusing on sound policies and practical messages aimed at improving the country’s economy.
To the NPP, elections are not about resorting to vile propaganda and spreading outright lies in order to secure victory. They emphasize the importance of delivering practical, implementable ideas to improve the livelihoods of Ghanaians.
In light of these recent developments, it remains to be seen whether the NDC’s billboards targeting Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, a prominent member of the NPP, will face a similar fate as those depicting John Mahama.
This act of vandalism highlights the need for political parties and their supporters to engage in respectful discourse and peaceful competition, upholding the principles of democracy as Ghana prepares for the upcoming elections.
