Ghana would’ve been like Dubai if I had the funds the Akufo-Addo government had – Mahama. The NDC flagbearer was speaking ahead of the elections 2024.
Presidential Candidate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama is unhappy with the level of development seen in parts of the country under the Akufo-Addo vis-à-vis the loan agreements that the current administration has signed.
Mr Mahama recounted that when he was in office for four years, his administration took loans of about $3.5 billion to develop the country.
With this amount, he said, his administration was able to build new harbours, airports and other infrastructure.
However, he said, the current Akufo-Addo administration took a loan of about $11.5 billion in the first five years but has not been able to provide the needed equivalent development projects.
He expresses the view that if he had gotten the $11.5 billion that President Akufo-Addo had, Ghana would have been Dubai under his administration.
“Within five years [President Akufo-Addo] took a loan of $11.5billion. I was in power for four years, all the things we did, new harbours, airport and all the things were from a $3.5 billion loan that we took.
“Ghana would have been like Dubai under me if I got the kind of money Akufo-Addo had,” he said during a Special prayer session by Moslem clerics and imams in the Ashanti Region Monday, December 2.
