Mahama cannot teach me patriotic lessons – Akufo Addo

The flagbearer of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP), Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has indicated that President John Dramani Mahama cannot teach him lessons in patriotism.

“Let me state clearly and without any equivocation that John Dramani Mahama cannot teach me any lesson in patriotism. My love for and belief in Ghana is total and has stood the test of time,” Nana Addo said at the manifesto launch of his party in Accra on Sunday.

President Mahama at a recent campaign tour in the Brong Ahafo region questioned why Nana Akufo-Addo keeps saying that Ghana's economy was in crisis and said the lenses of Nana Addo sees economic crisis where none exists.

Responding, Nana Addo said: “I have heard the president of the Republic make the breath-taking claim that the economy is not in crisis. He went further to suggest that those who say the economy is in crisis have bad eye sights. The president says those who say the economy is in crisis are unpatriotic.”

“All true lovers of Ghana under the circumstances of our existence these past eight years, will note that this is not the Ghana that our forebears fought for. The Ghana of the past four years is certainly nothing like the Ghana with the current population, Ghanaians aspire to,” Nana Addo said.

“I want a Ghana that has equal opportunities for all its citizens and provides quality accessible education to ensure a scaled workforce that can compete in a globalised economy."

Turning his attention on the party's manifesto, Nana Addo said, “We are not looking for catchy or meaningless slogans because they will win votes. We have not put together a manifesto that sounds good but does not positively affect the lives of our country.”

“You have heard all our speakers today state clearly that we are offering solutions to the problems that face our country. We are offering solutions that will take our country out of the crisis in which we find ourselves.
