A Presidential Staffer, Dennis Miracles Aboagye, has said the flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress, John Mahama, as a “spare driver”, could not steer Ghana’s economy during his tenure.

According to him, John Mahama inherited an economy that was flourishing but could not sustain it.

In a statement on 3news.com, he said, “This man had his chance; he had the brightest opportunity with one of the most buoyant economies and messed it up. For each of the four years and six months of this presidency, each of our indicators got worse at a time when there was no global crisis. Pure incompetency.”

The presidential staffer argues that if Mahama said he was a spare driver in 2012, there is no problem with Dr Bawumia saying he is a driver’s mate.

“Today, he has a problem with Dr. Bawumia saying he is a mate and not the main driver. The level of dishonesty and insincerity in John Mahama’s speeches is from the 80s. The NDC is asking us to give the country to a Spare Driver who asked for the chance, got it, and crashed us.

Miracles Aboagye further noted that John Mahama would not have been able to handle Ghana’s economy during the global economic crisis.

“Imagine such an incompetent man handling affairs during a global economic crisis. One that has hit even the 1st world country,” he said.
