Pius Enam Hadzide, Deputy Minister for Information has urged Ghanaians to vote against flagbearer of National Democratic Congress (NDC) John Mahama in the upcoming December 7 polls.
According to Mr. Hadzide, the former President during his tenure in office showed some level of incompetence which led to his party’s defeat in the 2016 elections.
Speaking during a health walk dubbed ‘10,000 Walk for Victory’ at Mpraeso on Saturday, the Deputy Minister argued that the opposition party’s flagbearer did not have the moral or political will to lead the country into prosperity.

“This country has tried Mr. Mahama before and he failed miserably. Mahama gave us dumsor, canceled allowances, gave us unemployment, and run down the economy,” Mr. Hadzide noted adding that voting for Mr. Mahama was akin to asking a carpenter to make a dress.
“Carpenters can’t make dresses same way Mahama can’t govern,” he added.
The Deputy Minister further stated that it is time for Ghanaians to show up in their numbers on election day to vote and help defeat the NDC and its flagbearer whom he described as the “real virus”.
“We are aware of the Coronavirus and we know that wearing of masks, social distancing, and the other protocols can help as defeat Covid-19.
