Mahama should have no excuse to fail because we are leaving behind a strong economy - NPP UK Chair, Wofa K

The Chairman of the New Patriotic Party(NPP)UK chapter, Kingsley Adumattah Agyapong, commonly known as Wofa K, has claimed that the Akufo-Addo-led administration is leaving behind a strong economy.

He argued that the incoming Mahama-led administration should have no excuse to send the country back to the dark days.

“If Mahama fails to build on the growth we have achieved, the growth rate will drop and the country will head back to the challenges and difficulties we complained about,” he said.

He asserted that Mr Mahama has a poor track record of mismanaging the economy, and the example could be traced to when the Atta Mills increased our GDP from 8% under Kufuor to 14%, which dropped to 3.5%.

Mahama destroyed all the gains made and plunged us into five years of dumsor with the collapse of industries, which cost the country an annual figure of GHC 10.88 billion. That was the state of the country.

He added the NPP came in with every fibre in us and worked hard; in 2017, 2018, and 2019, Ghana was the fastest-growing economy in the whole world. If not for the outbreak of Covid-19, we would have experienced something different.

He stressed the need for Mahama not to have any excuse but to put in motion all his promises to make the living conditions of the people better than what the NPP had done
