‘Mahama not pleased with my work because I defeated him twice’ — Akufo-Addo

President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has opined on why the 2024 flagbearer of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Mahama, has been frequently criticizing his administration.

According to the President, the former president is displeased with his work because he defeated him twice in previous elections.

Speaking at a mini-rally in Doboro in the Greater Accra region following a visit to the premises of Blue Skies Limited on Tuesday, May 7, the President reiterated that the former President would destroy the legacy his government has built if given the mandate again.

Instead, he told Ghanaians to vote for his Vice President and NPP flagbearer Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, to secure and build on his legacy.

"This is our election year and limited voter registration has started. Anybody who hasn't registered and is eligible should go and register. This is because your right to vote is your power," he said.

"Also, when it is time for voting, our job is simple. The person I defeated and my work since I took over seems not to please him, so I cannot hand over power to such a person. He will destroy whatever we have achieved if he comes back," he added.

He further stated, "I am pleading with you to vote for the person I have worked with for the past seven and a half years. I have faith in him and I know that he will come and continue the work I have begun as Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia."
