Salam Mustapha has criticized former President John Dramani Mahama regarding his commitments to the youth of Ghana.
The National Youth Organizer of the New Patriotic Party highlighted inconsistencies in Mahama’s pledges, particularly concerning his policy of providing free tuition for first-year students in tertiary institutions, as well as other educational initiatives aimed at the youth.
At the launch of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Youth Manifesto held at the University of Professional Studies in Accra on Monday, August 12, John Dramani Mahama expressed his determination to improve the lives of young people, urging them to support his candidacy in the upcoming December 7 elections. Among other proposals, Mr. Mahama stated that…
we shall decentralize the procurement of food and other supplies to the headmaster’s school basis. In order to improve the quality of food and also boost the local economies in the district where the schools are located.
We shall expand access by building more infrastructure in existing secondary schools, and we shall dedicate funding to completing the E blocks in order that more children can have the opportunity to go to school.
Salam Mustapha, during his appearance on Peace FM’s “Kokrokoo” program, highlighted John Mahama’s accomplishments in the education sector, which were overseen by his Vice Presidential Candidate, Prof. Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang, reminding Ghanaians of their significance.
Sometimes, President John Dramani Mahama forgets he has been President before because he seems to have a very poor memory of his own performance as President and his shambolic performance as well. The era of John Dramani Mahama as President and his Running Mate, Prof. Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang, as Education Minister is one of the worst periods in youth-centric policies and especially relative to education in this country.
These are the same people who introduced utility bills for public Universities for the first time in our history. They proposed that students should pay for utilities on traditional campuses; it’s unprecedented.
What has changed today if not just because they want votes?
The evidence doesn’t suggest that they have any capacity to deliver on any promise they’re making now.
