The Techiman North Communication Director for the leading New Patriotic Party, Atta Ackah Senior has said the former President and flag bearer of the Opposition National Democratic Congress, His Excellency John Dramani Mahama should not be trusted when it comes to free SHS.
According to him, the former President in some years ago criticized and condemned the free SHS policies but he is now telling Ghanaians they started Free SHS which they are going continue are false stories.
He said, Mr. Mahama has no new policies and programs for the people of Ghana but fabricating stories for Ghanaians to vote for him again come 2020 elections.
• These are few instances to give:
- Mahama, on November 23, 2012 told the people of Okere that ”Free S.H.S will collapse S.H.S education system”
-
Mahama on October 1, 2018, reiterated his aversion to Free SHS saying that it would undergo a review and hinted of the possibility of the policy being scrapped.
-

All these speeches are clear evidence to show that we elect Mr. John Mahama as president again ,he will definitely cancel the God’s saving FREE SHS POLICY.

We are therefore pleading with Ghanaians to Vote for NANA ADDO come 2020 for better policies. (ATTA ACKAH SNR,communication director-NPP Techiman North 0549791943)
