Governance Expert, William Amofa has asserted that promises given by John Dramani Mahama at the National Democratic Congress’ (NDC) launch of fundraising platforms has no strong influence on Ghanaian electorates.
Speaking in an interview on the Happy Morning Show aired on Happy 98.9FM, he explained: “John Mahama’s promises have no impact. I am not saying his policies are not good ideas. But, before electorates believe you they must know how you will fulfill your promises. NDC is now in opposition and they want to come back so they have to prove that they can really bring relief to the electorates when they come to power.”
He furthered that since John Mahama had been in office for eight years already, Ghanaians would expect much from him if he comes into power. In his submission, he advised the ex-president to focus heavily on the issue of unemployment rather than on education.
“If the ex-president wants to come back, he should not only focus on the education sector because unemployment is one of the most pressing issues of Ghanaians”, he added.
He, however, mentioned that the NDC launch of fundraising platforms was not the right time and place for the ex-president to divulge his promises to Ghanaians. “NDC must do their research well so that their message can encourage Ghanaians to vote for them.”
In a launch of fundraising platforms by the National Democratic Congress on Thursday, 16th January, 2020, the flagbearer of the party, John Dramani Mahama made known what the party intended to do when voted into power focusing more on the education sector.
