Akufo-Addo’s Govt has pushed 870,000 people into poverty – Mahama

Presidential Candidate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Former President John Mahama has accused the New Patriotic Party (NPP) government of impoverishing Ghanaians.

Currently, he said the mismanagement of the economy by the Akufo-Addo/Bawumia government has pushed 870,000 Ghanaians below the poverty line.

Mr Mahama said this while accusing the government of vote buying ahead of the 2024 general elections.

Mr Mahama observed that NPP members are moving around market areas across the country sharing one litre of cooking oil to market women.

“They are going to bring money and this to buy your votes, please don’t be persuaded,” he said during a campaign tour at Saboba.

Sharing a similar sentiment at Chereponi in the North East Region, Mahama stated that, “It is because you [the NPP] have put 870,000 Ghanaians below the poverty line that you can go and deceive them with a bottle of oil.”

Mr Mahama further urged Ghanaians to vote for him and reject the NPP.
