After going to the National Democratic Congress' Green Book presented to him during President John Mahama's visit to his palace, the Mantse said he admires the infrastructural development the president has initiated under his watch.

He also said Ghana's first president was his 'contemporary' and that he saw what he did for Ghana before his overthrow in 1966.

“Dr Kwame Nkrumah was my contemporary. I saw what he did for Ghana. I am tempted to say you have surpassed Nkrumah.”

“My son, I admire greatly what you are doing in infrastructure. As you can see I am flipping through the pages of the green book. Don’t worry, it is well with you," he said.
