Former President John Mahama has dared the Akufo-Addo-led government to trace all the properties they governing party claims he has in Dubai and other parts of the world, and sell them off and repatriate the fund to Ghana.
“They said I built hotels in Dubai, I have ships in Tokyo, they said DKM was mine, If I have hotels in Dubai, I dare them to go and look for it, sell it and come and invest the money in Ghana’s economy,” the presidential candidate of the main opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) said during his campaign tour of the Greater Accra region.
He also rubbished claims that he dished out free contracts to his brother Ibrahim Mahama during his first term of office.
“My brother was doing the project free of charge. He never charged a pesewa but you had leading figures of the NPP saying I gave him a contract worth 200 million cedis”.
Meanwhile, the NDC’s Vice-Presidential candidate, Prof. Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang, has asked residents in the Oti region to critically consider the implications of the choices they will be making at the December 7 polls.
According to her, a vote for her party, come December 7, would be a move toward good governance that will secure the future of the country against poverty, unemployment, insecurity and intimidation.
She made the call at a community engagement in the Oti regional capital of Dambai on Friday, October 30th, 2020 while on a 2-day campaign tour of the region.
She said: “We have presented to you a manifesto that is very inclusive and represents the interest of all manner of persons in Ghana. Our manifestos would address issues that affect the ordinary Ghana; the fisherman, the farmer, the Okada man, the nurse, the police, the teacher and even children who do not have a vote at this moment.”
“It is, for this reason, I tell you that those who are going around giving you money are engaging in vote-buying. But you’ve to ask yourselves if the monies they’re giving you today can address the challenges you’re facing. Ask yourselves where these people have been for the past four years when your roads are bad, when you don’t get buyers for your farm products because of the hardship in the system,” she added.
