Former President, John Dramani Mahama has debunked reports circulating within a cross section of web portals on a subject matter that, National Democratic Congress will every month, if voted back to the seat of presidency come 2020 general elections give senior high school students provisions to feed on as false.
The reports claims that, the Presidential aspirants for the opposition National Democratic Congress, John Mahama spoke to students in the Volta Region stating that Senior High School student will be supplied with gari and ‘alawa’ every month in his second coming.
Former President Mahama led the National Democratic Congress into opposition after an excruciating defeat to the governing New Patriotic Party led by President Nana Akuffo-Addo by a margin of 44.40-53.85% with few reason such as the general quest for change by the populace and also the teeming young population who are impatient and in a haste to see results.
In a news statement signed by the spokesperson of the former president, James Agyenim Boateng, the former president refuted such report as fake and stated that its the figment of the writer’s imagination, adding that, he has not visited the Volta Region to speak to students. It disclosed that, the former president is yet to extend his tour to the Volta Region to campaign ahead of the flagbearership of the National Democratic Congress.
The signed news statement revealed that, former President Mahama is on a five day tour in the Western Region, speaking mainly on issues of the traumatized cocoa farmers, small scale miners, jobs, the cost of leaving in the country, his development ideas for the NDC, plans to better the implemented Free SHS as well as his determination to eliminate the chaotic double track system in secondary education.
The news statement, former president John Dramani Mahama reiterated that, Ghanaians should disregard the bizarre, outrageous, and ridiculous publications by the cross section of web portals, urging the Ghanaian citizen to treat it with the contempt that it deserves.
