5 years on and Akufo-Addo still blames me for everything; what a 'poor leader' – Mahama
Former President John Dramani Mahama has said only a “poor leader” like President Akufo-Addo will keep blaming his predecessor for his (Akufo-Addo’s) failings five years into his presidency.
Speaking at the National Democratic Congress’ 40th-anniversary commemoration of the 31st December Revolution in Accra on Friday, the 2020 flag bearer of the NDC said: “Leadership is about responsibility”, insisting: “It is only a poor leader who shirks responsibilities and shifts blames”.
Demonstrating the difference between his leadership and that of Mr Akufo-Addo, Mr Mahama said: “We had power crisis – dumsor in this country – because of lack of investment in generation for many years, and, so, we were consuming more power than we generated”.
“That was the situation I met and yet, I did not say it is not my fault. I went to Parliament, took responsibility for it and promised to fix it, which we did.”
