Presidential candidate for the Liberal Party of Ghana (LPG), Kofi Akpaloo, has responded to renowned lawyer Tsatsu Tsikata for praising John Mahama’s tenure as President ahead of the December 7 presidential election.

The former CEO of the Ghana National Petroleum Corporation (GNPC) stated, "Mahama's performance is better than what we've seen over the past four years."

In response to these remarks during an interview on GHOne TV, Kofi Akpaloo contended that Mr. Tsikata’s praise for Mahama was largely due to the advantages he enjoyed during Mahama’s presidency.

"He said so because he was getting contracts under Mahama, so why wouldn't he say that? He was getting the best deals. So, definitely, he will praise Mahama. Those who were getting the goodies will naturally remember him and say such things to praise him," Akpaloo alleged.

The distinguished lawyer has announced his support for John Mahama, highlighting the successes of Mahama's previous term as proof of his ability, especially when contrasted with the performance of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) government in the past eight years.

"I'm voting for John Mahama," Tsikata stated during an interview with Accra-based GHOne TV.

According to Mr. Tsikata, John Mahama's accomplishments clearly demonstrate his capacity to drive national development. He also emphasised that "the failures of this [NPP] government are clear."
