Accept Mahama’s debate challenge if you’re better – Sammy Gyamfi to Akufo-Addo

The National Democratic Congress (NDC) Member of Parliament for Adaklu, Kwame Agbodza has taken a swipe at President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo ahead of the 2020 general elections.

He said former President John Dramani Mahama was commissioning projects at this time four years as compared to his successor.

The Adaklu lawmaker said the president is currently going round the country cutting sods for projects instead of commissioning projects.

Speaking to Kwabena Agyapong on Frontline on Rainbow Radio 87.5Fm, he opined that since the late Nkrumah’s era, it is only the NDC that has massively invested in infrastructure.

"The commitment to invest in infrastructure comes with huge benefits, when you invest in infrastructure, it creates the opportunity for economic activities,” he added.

On sod cutting, the president, yesterday, cut sod for the commencement of construction of the 35-kilometre Atebubu-Kwame-Danso-Kwame Krom in the Bono East Region.
