The founder and leader of the Progressive People\u2019s Party (PPP), Dr. Papa Kwesi Ndoum, has christened President John Mahama \u201cMr. Promiser\u201d because he views the president as a leader who only makes promises but fails to deliver.<\/p>\n
According Dr. Nduom, \u201cthere is somebody in Ghana who has become an expert, an expert at making promises… There are promisers and doers. The promisers are over there, the doers are over here.\u201d<\/p>\n
[contextly_sidebar id=”eRJHpYLyXHp2tgVSZiCnNZ6VU9W0VWXW”]Addressing party loyalists\u00a0during the inauguration of the Klottey Korle Constituency party office on Thursday, the PPP founder charged voters not to vote for leaders who go about making empty promises.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs a country, we have to get the right persons to do the right jobs, this is how we can develop the country. The problem we say is affecting our country badly is our bad economy. For such a problem to be solved you will need someone with the expertise and the proven track record,\u201d Dr. Nduom said.<\/p>\n
\u2018How can a communicator and a lawyer fix the economy?\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n Dr. Nduom also intimated that, fixing the country’s economy was beyond President Mahama and the Presidential candidate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Nana Akufo-Addo, who are a communications professional and a legal practitioner respectively.<\/p>\n \u201cWe are three people contesting the presidency. We have John Dramani Mahama, who is a communicator. He knows how to talk, how to communicate. So if you have a problem with your economy, you do not have jobs, you want to call the communicator to solve the economic problem?\u00a0We have Nana Akuffo Addo who is also a lawyer that is his field. He knows how to defend people when they have cases in court. Will you allow such a person to manage your economy?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI on the other hand is an astute economist. My track record of fixing ailing economies is clear. I have created jobs across the length and breadth of the country. I work to fix economies,\u201d Dr. Nduom said as his credentials for assuming the presidency.<\/p>\n No need for promises<\/strong><\/p>\n Following his criticism of the flagbearers of the two main political parties, the PPP founder assured Ghanaians that he had no need to promise Ghanaians because he and his business ventures have already created jobs across the country.<\/p>\n \u201cI will not make promises, I will not promise to build one factory in every district. I will not also go about making promises that I will create one million jobs. I have created jobs across the length and breadth of the country and it is a fact.\u201d<\/p>\n –<\/p>\n By: Delali Adogla-Bessa\/citifmonline.com\/Ghana<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The founder and leader of the Progressive People\u2019s Party (PPP), Dr. Papa Kwesi Ndoum, has christened President John Mahama \u201cMr. Promiser\u201d because he views the president as a leader who only makes promises but fails to deliver.
