The flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, has reminded Ghanaians about the state of the country during the tenure of the erstwhile National Democratic Congress (NDC) under former President John Dramani Mahama.
He believes the performance of the former government is nowhere close to what the NPP has achieved within seven years.
In a media engagement in Accra on Sunday, August 25, 2024, Dr. Bawumia recalled the hardships Ghanaians went through under the leadership of his main contender for the presidential slot in the 2024 polls.
“We all don’t have short memories. Mahama left an abysmal record. We endured ‘dumsor’, people died because of ‘dumsor’. The national ambulance service was almost dead and unemployment was high,” he stated.
He was subtly making reference to a comment by former President Mahama to the effect that “Ghanaians have short memory”.
Mr Mahama made this remark when he was in office in response to a barrage of criticisms about the economic problems.
