Former President John Mahama is offending Ghanaians when he suggests they were only swayed by the New Patriotic Party\u2019s (NPP) overly ambitious agenda for change, according to a Deputy Information Minister, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah.<\/p>\n
In an Eyewitness News<\/strong> interview, Mr. Oppong Nkrumah asserted that Ghanaians were well aware of the change they desired when they decided to vote out the National Democratic Congress (NDC).<\/p>\n Mr. Mahama, speaking at the World Economic Forum in Durban, South Africa on Thursday, said he was honest<\/a><\/strong><\/span> with Ghanaians about the state of the economy in the run-up to the 2016 elections, but Ghanaians were instead drawn to Nana Akufo-Addo’s rosy promises of heavenly economic prosperity which had no economic basis.<\/p>\n The former President also spoke of what he called an incumbency disadvantage as he reflected on the reasons for his defeat.<\/p>\n
