Following
the opposition persistent painting of a gloomy future for Ghana and
classification of the current administration as the worse thing ever to
have happened to the country, President John Dramani Mahama, beginning
next week, will start a nationwide tour dubbed "Tour of Hope".
The
"Tour of Hope" is part of the President Mahama’s evidence-based
showcasing of his government’s achievement. Sources at the seat of
government say the tour will see the President spending three days in
each of the ten regions of Ghana inspecting and commissioning some vital
infrastructural projects.
The tour, our sources noted, will
also afford the president the opportunity to interact with as many
Ghanaians as possible. “His Excellency will cease the opportunity to
visit markets, lorry parks, churches and mosques among others to
propagate God’s favors on the nation and the government’s
accomplishments,” the source added.
Among the high point on the
President’s nationwide move-around will be the inauguration of 10
additional Community Day Senior High Schools which the President
announced this week are ready and awaiting commissioning.
“Part
of the reasons for this tour is for the President to touch base with NDC
regional and constituency executives to discuss wide range of issues,”
another source noted.
Like previous tours by the president, The
aL-hAJJ has been reliably informed that, Mr John Mahama will take
advantage of his three-day working visit to each of the regions to
advance his “evidence-based-achievements” to dispel the notion,
especially by the opposition New Patriotic Party that, his
administration has woefully failed the people.
“President Mahama
has been consistent in telling Ghanaians that while he may not have
transformed the nation into paradise, some remarkable strides have been
made under his tenure and, that is what he would be showcasing to the
people.
“God has been kind to us as a nation and we ought to be
grateful for that…considering the challenges that we faced as a country
and having been able to surmount some of them which have resulted in the
success story of this administration, the best we can do is to give
thanks to God. The hope tour is not just to showcase the president’s
achievements but also to confer with the various religious sects and
traditional authorities across the country”.
President Mahama in
a recent response to Nana Akufo-Addo’s description of his
evidence-based display of his achievements as “an embarrassing display”
said, while it was the 2016 NPP flag bearer’s democratic right to
criticize government policies; it was wrong for him to minimize the
achievements of government in the last three years.
“The most
important fact about the transformative stories I shared last week, the
most fundamental truth about them is that they are not my achievements,
they are our achievements! They are Ghana’s achievements!” the President
wrote in a Facebook post.
Nana Akufo-Addo and his men have in
recent times described the Mahama government as a failure and
underserving of a second term after the November 7 polls. Ironically,
the opposition party has shifted from tagging government as having
nothing to show as achievement to, inflating the cost of projects it has
embarked on.
But a senior staff at the Flag Staff House told The
aL-hAJJ “when the president begins the hope tour, we shall see if Nana
Akufo-Addo and his NPP will have anything to campaign on. They started
that we have achieve nothing…when the president shocked them with our
achievements during the state of nation address, they have now shifted
the goal post that we have bloated project figures.”
The
obviously excited government official said “the NPP ‘aren’t’ seen
nothing yet. The hope tour will expose all their lies…we will touch base
with the various communities and the people themselves will tell
Ghanaians how these projects are impacting on their lives. Nana Addo and
the NPP should continue to live in their world of illusion.”
