Mahama’s vote buying schemes in elections won’t work again – NPP
The opposition New patriotic Party(NPP) says the
upcoming elections have no credibility because of
vote buying, fraud, intimidation, and violence
from the governing NDC.

Ghana’s much-anticipated presidential and
parliamentary elections are proving to be muddied
as the incumbent leader, John Dramani Mahama is on
a vote-buying spree to compromise NPP officials
from the north and buy them off as agents to
perpetrate divisions in the NPP, according to the
NPP.

“The biggest concern we have now are efforts
from the President and his party to exploit the
poverty that they have made worse in their efforts
to avoid defeat. They want to buy and steal votes
in the north. But they can only succeed if we
allow them. they tried it in 2012 and it worked.
They have tried it again in 2016 but it will not
work,” Nana Akufo-Addo’s Spokesperson, Mr.
Mustapha Hamid who addressed a Press conference in
the capital said.

He told journalists that “the people from the
north are sad, angry, ashamed and feel very
insulted by President Mahama” insisting that the
President has betrayed the confidence locals
up-north reposed in him when he begged them for
their votes in the 2012 elections.
“…This vote buying will not work in the north.
I cannot speak for other regions, the people of
the north were told by President Mahama to vote
for him because he’s one of us and can be
trusted to develop the north faster and better.
But what we saw is that he rather allowed his
close friends like Agambire to use the Savannah
Accelerated Development Authority(SADA) to steal
most of the 300 million cedis that was given to
sada and meant to help the people of the north.
Today our poeple are sad, hungry ashamed and feel
very insulted by President Mahama.

“He exploited us and use our name through sada
to enrich his friends and family and to make our
pple even poorer. Today under a President who
comes from the north, the poeple of the north are
poorer than they were under the late President
Mills before 2012 and President Kufuor before
2009.

“But Prez Mahama has not apologize to the people
of the three regions of the north for using our
name to take monies which have been shared among
family and friends. Not a single person has been
sent to court over the sada rot. Roland Agambire
who promised to build a hope City left Ghana for
Dubai City and left the north in calamity. The of
the north feel insulted, cheated and embarrassed.

“We gave our son, our brother President John
Dramani Mahama our Kola and he chewed it all and
spat it back in our faces. Never Again!
