Flagbearer for the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Former President John Dramani Mahama, has accused the Akufo-Addo government of resorting to desperate manoeuvres to win back the trust of Ghanaians ahead of the 2024 general elections.
According to him, the current administration is attempting to force draconian policies down the throats of Ghanaians by the introduction of unbearable taxes and other financial burdens.
Mr Mahama was addressing the Minority Members of Parliament in Ho over the weekend.
“Your return is opportune and timely, as it accords you an opportunity to maintain even greater vigilance and oversight over a government that is becoming increasingly desperate and, with no doubt, attempting to ramp Draconian policies down the throats of Ghanaians,” he said.
Whiles patting the Minority on the back for their hard work in holding the government accountable, the former president however, entreated them to work harder in order to return to power come December 2024 when the election is held.
“On the evidence of what we have seen so far, I believe I speak for the generality of Ghanaians when I say that you in the Minority have lived up to expectations,” he added.

how does forcing draconian laws down the throat of Ghanaians translate into being desperate to win the trust of Ghanaians and if the government is trying to win Ghanaians what is wrong with that? this man doesn't make sense anymore
John Mahama go lose
Corrupt greedy man f..u.ck off.
Who is more desperate than you? Your are possessed with the spirit of greed. You chop all positions at the top yet you are desperate to bovine president again. The Ghanaian Trump!
An epitome of proper desperation. You have been Assembly man, MP for 2 terms, Deputy Minister, Minister, Vice President and President. What at all do you want from Ghanaians? Are you the only one to fix Ghana's issues? Or there is an unfinished business? You agreed with President Kuffour that a 4year term is not enough. So knowing you only have 4 years what aaaah can you do or change
Ei! Mahama talking of desperation? Amazing! You were rejected as president, you came back and were rejected. You are coming back again and are daring to call someone desperate? Laughable.
This man just doesn't make sense! Look at who is talking about desperation?
Ahhhh...... listen to who is talking! Who is more desperate than you? You have an unfinished business of selling the rest of Ghana's assets! NEVER!
If you are not desperate, why are you returning to presidency, you could have allowed a younger NDC candidate contest and play a God father role since both the founder and the other leader are no more, 4 years to do what. Knowing very well that 4 years of governance in Ghana is just not enough to make any meaningful impact especially in the present geopolitics of the world if not to just give jobs to your cronies.
If you weren't desperate, you would have stayed in retirement and enjoyed your ex-gratia among other benefits and allowed Duffuor to lead the NDC into the 2024 elections.
