Gabby Asare Otchere Darko, a leading member of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) came under a barrage of attacks on social media yesterday for saying President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has performed better than his predecessor John Mahama.

In a post on social media after the commissioning of the 307 ambulances by the president, Gabby Asare Otchere Darko listed some things that Akufo Addo has a better record in.

He tweeted: "I wonder what John Mahama’s campaign message will be in 2020. On the economy: Akufo-Addo has done better. On health: Akufo-Addo has done better. On education: Akufo-Addo has done better. On infrastructure, Akufo-Addo is doing much better. Follow the facts. Not the propaganda."

This generated a discussion on Twitter with many users disagreeing with him. Check out some of the tweets at him.

Sir, I think u guys are only itching to know what is going to kick you out of government. Trust me you guys performed below the standard.

John Mahama does not need a campaign message. His works speak for him. I wonder what the message of NPP would be?

To be fair, @JDMahama performed better in the delivery of infrastructure in the health sector by building several hospitals and Chips compounds. Governance is a continuum so let's stop this needless comparisons and focus on making the lives of Ghanaians better! https://t.co/WgLDcMieWS pic.twitter.com/PvVn3QQS4c

Are you not ashame for this comment dude. What makes it best at health is it the ambulance or what. I am sure the ambulances will not be parked at the cathedral but JM's hospitals and clinics he built. Hypocrisy... https://t.co/Vebwsk8qF7
