Presidential candidate of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama, has reiterated his commitment to complete all unfinished projects, including those initiated by the New Patriotic Party (NPP) government, should he be elected in 2024.
The former president noted that the NDC was a patriotic and well-meaning political party that believed in the spirit of continuity and was determined not to waste the resources of taxpaying citizens.
“I’m making a promise that when we come, we will continue all abandoned projects.
Even projects that this current NPP government does not finish, we will continue and finish because they are funded by taxpayers’ money, so when you abandon them, you’re wasting the money of Ghanaians,” he said.
“When we were sharing the E-Blocks, several of them were allocated to the Zongo and Muslim communities but many of those schools have been abandoned. We have done a lot in our Zongos but we are not the type who come with a paper and read. Our people can see for themselves the work the NDC did when we were in office,” he added.
Mr. Mahama made the remarks on Saturday, September 16, 2023, at the NDC Greater Accra Regional Zongo Caucus Stakeholders Forum.
He also expressed gratitude to the Zongo community saying“We appreciate that support, and that’s why anytime we come to power, we try to make sure that when we are sharing the National cake and development, the Zongos get their fair share,” the 2024 NDC flag bearer added.
The forum brought together representatives from various Zongo and Muslim sects, as well as institutions both inside and outside the party.
The meeting afforded them an opportunity to share their experiences and discuss topics of mutual interest in order to foster social connections and a sense of community.
The National Chief Imam, Sheikh Usmanu Nuhu Sharubutu, was also present at the forum.
