Mahama is the embodiment of inconsistencies, policy and credibility deficit.

In a fiery critique during a televised discussion, Dennis Appiah Larbi delivered a scathing review of former President John Mahama, branding him as a leader plagued with inconsistencies and credibility issues. The detailed analysis brought into focus numerous instances of contradictions in Mahama’s political promises and statements, particularly around key national issues.

Policy Contradictions and Inconsistencies

Dennis began by highlighting discrepancies in Mahama’s policy declarations over time. He pointed out conflicting positions Mahama had taken on critical topics, such as:

1. Teacher and Nursing Training Allowances:
   • Initially, Mahama asserted, “Teacher training allowances won’t be restored, even if it costs me my elections.”
   • However, later, he shifted his stance, promising to maintain allowances for teacher trainees and nurses if he won the 2020 elections.
2. Economic Crisis Blame Game:
   • Mahama initially claimed it was a “bloody lie” to blame the economic challenges on the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine war.
   • Yet, in a subsequent statement, he admitted that these global crises had indeed devastated African economies including Ghana.
3. Education Spending:
   • When asked if he would prioritize spending on Free SHS (Senior High School) with an additional ₵2 billion, Mahama questioned the prudence of allocating the entire sum to Free SHS.
   • Contradictorily, he later proposed including private schools in the Free SHS program.

Agenda 111 and Infrastructure Promises

Dennis also aimed Mahama’s comments regarding Agenda 111, a flagship initiative to build hospitals across Ghana. While Mahama initially dismissed the initiative as overly ambitious and unrealistic, he later pledged that an NDC government would complete the project. According to Dennis, this pattern of shifting positions typifies Mahama’s political approach.

Public Perception and Credibility Deficit

Dennis emphasized that Mahama’s lack of consistency has damaged his credibility among Ghanaians. Referring to Mahama as an “embodiment of policy and credibility deficit,” Dennis argued that such contradictions reflect poorly on his leadership and decision-making capabilities. He stated:

“Your flag bearer is the embodiment of inconsistencies, the embodiment of double standards, the embodiment of policy and credibility deficit.”

He further asserted that the Ghanaian public has grown increasingly disillusioned with Mahama’s leadership style, describing it as indecisive and unreliable.

NDC’s Electoral Outlook

Dennis concluded his critique by predicting electoral defeat for the NDC in upcoming elections. He attributed this to what he described as the party’s failure to present a consistent and credible alternative to the ruling government. He urged Ghanaians to reject a return to Mahama’s leadership, stating:

“The Ghanaian people watching me today have valued and weighed the NDC, and they’ve come to the realization that the consistency is not there.”
