Former Ghanaian President and Flag bearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama, has said he will not take sides in the distribution of development projects across the country if elected as President.
Speaking during a community program which was part of his tour dubbed “Building the Ghana we want together” at Zuarungu in the Bolgatanga East Constituency in the Upper East Region last week, said the NDC would continue to do that to spread development to every part of the country.
“I wish to assure Ghanaians that the next NDC government will share development projects fairly and not based upon who voted for the party,” he stressed.
Earlier, President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has said that he ignored the people of Ekumfi in the Central Region in terms of development for not voting for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Member of Parliament for the area, Kingsley Ato Cudjoe, in the 2020 elections.
Mahama had signified that the Akuffo Ado’s comment was against the NDC objective which harps on equitably.
He berated the NPP for naming universities built by the NDC after their party heroes although Ghana could boast of many heroes and not only heroes from the NPP tradition thereby resulting in the affected universities losing their core mandate in their operations and claimed the next NDC administration would reimbibe the original names of the universities named after the NPP heroes rather the names given would be given to a significant infrastructure in the institution.
