President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has raised concerns about the capability of former President John Dramani Mahama, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) flagbearer, to effectively govern Ghana if re-elected.

Akufo-Addo warned that a Mahama presidency might threaten critical national policies, including the Free Senior High School (SHS) program.

Addressing the chiefs and residents of the North-East Region, he cautioned that voting for Mahama in the upcoming December 7 elections could result in the discontinuation of initiatives like Free SHS, which has provided educational opportunities for thousands of Ghanaian students.

Akufo-Addo referenced recent statements by Mahama, which he believes suggest the NDC candidate might cancel or undermine the Free SHS policy.

He urged Mahama to clarify his position on the matter, stressing that the people of Ghana deserve transparency on his plans for the program.

“Let’s ask him [Mahama], which is which? What should the Ghanaian people take as your real position? Because this chopping and changing, chopping and changing, is a very difficult thing for some of us to understand.

“What should we believe? Are you going to change it? Are you going to cancel it? Are you going to improve it? Because every time you open your mouth, you say a different thing.

“I don’t think a man who talks like that, who wants the supreme office of our country, is somebody who can be trusted.”
