The opposition New Patriotic Party( NPP) says President John Dramani Mahama has exposed the hopelessness of his government by describing himself as the artist whose work can only be seen when he completes it.
The main opposition is contending that if the President can resort to such a lame excuse for his government’s incompetence, then he is guilty of failing Ghanaians.
“After seven years of a Better Ghana, the President is now telling us that we should not worry if we cannot see the work the NDC claims to have done. That all the promises that he has failed to fulfil will suddenly be fulfilled in the last year and under an IMF austerity programme,” the Acting Chairman of the NPP, Freddy Blay told newsmen at a Press Conference Wednesday.
President Mahama as part of his #ChangingLives campaign tour in Tamale told party supporters at a rally that “We are working just like an artist. When artists are working you don’t actually know what they are doing until they finish the work.”
But the NPP says the Mahama-led administration has nothing good to offer Ghanaians, insisting that come November 2016 elections, Ghanaians will change the NDC government and restore hope to the masses.
“If after more than 80 percent of the drawing or painting has been done, and the person who is sitting there for her portrait to be done cannot recognise herself on the canvass then what difference will the remaining 20% make? What image can come out of the creative hands of such a hopeless so-called artist?”
