'We've done sufficient to win in 2016' - Mahama

President Mahama charged his appointees to prepare for the heavy schedule ahead in the last year of his first term.

 

President John Mahama has indicated that, his government has done sufficient to be given another mandate in the 2016 general election.

According to him, “We have done sufficient… There are things that we have delivered. I feel very proud, sometimes I don’t know we did it. You go to a community and the Chief is praising you to high heaven for some school or some clinic I didn’t even know had been put there. But everywhere you go they say we see the development, we have a good road, we have enough water.

Addressing government officials in Ho on Friday at a retreat, President Mahama charged his appointees to prepare for the heavy schedule ahead in the last year of his first term.

“In Brong Ahafo alone, there is water for more than 300,000 households in about 27 communities … There is a lot that has been done in every sector…There is a track record, there is a strong performance when it comes to development and infrastructure that we can defend. We will this election. I’m confident that we will win this election,” said the President.

“What we must do and what I am thinking must come out of here is to have an analysis of what our strengths are and what are weaknesses are and to also look at what our opportunities and what the threats are and once we do that we come up with a road map on how we can all work together to ensure that we win 2016.”

Attributing some of the NDC's achievements to the former first president, he said, “Nkrumah had done so phenomenally when it comes to infrastructure. He had just finished the Akosombo Dam. It was months after he had switched on Akosombo and the same opposition at the time said he had run Ghana into debt and that he had borrowed so much. Exactly the same accusations we are facing now …”
