A former Member of Parliament (MP) for Okaikwei North, Hon Fuseini Issah, has described Former President John Dramani Mahama as a man full of inconsistencies.
His comment comes on the heels of the former president’s allegations of vote-buying concerning the “One Student One Laptop” initiative by the government.
On The Forum on Asaase 99.5, Saturday, April 13, 2024, Issah who is also a member of the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) communications team, brushed aside the former president’s criticisms, citing
“In the State of the Nation Address in 2016, the former president, now flagbearer of the NDC, did say to the nation that under his presidency, if Ghanaians gave him the opportunity—which of course Ghanaians did not give him given his record in the run-up to 2016—he was going to ensure that we were going to move to that level and then students in senior high schools were going to be provided with handheld devices like we’ve done today,” Issah said.

He was not enthused with the former president’s inconsistencies, pointing out that “in fact, in January 2024, when the vice-president and our flagbearer, His Excellency Dr Mahamudu Bawumia mentioned it, [the] NDC was ridiculing the whole policy initiative and they were saying it was not possible because they couldn’t do it; they thought that the NPP also couldn’t do it.”
The NPP communications team member decried the NDC’s lack of proactive policymaking, but characterising their campaign strategy around undermining NPP initiatives instead of offering constructive proposals.
