Member of Parliament for Ningo Prampram, Sam George has said John Dramani Mahama is way ahead of Dr Kwabena Duffour when it comes to politics and that the former Finance Minister should desist from comparing himself to the former President of the republic.
Both John Dramani Mahama and Dr Kwabena Duffour are contesting for the National Democratic Congress (NDC) flagbearership position ahead of the 2024 general elections.
And to Sam George, Dr Duffour has no chance of winning the flagbearership position because he has no record that can aid him to battle the ruling NPP for power in the 2024 polls.
“In the very unlikely event, in the 0.0001per cent probability chance that he becomes the flagbearer of the NDC, whose records is he going to campaign on? Is it not John Mahama’s records? Mr Duffuor has no record. He was the Minister in the government when John Mahama was the Vice President, Monkeys play by sizes. he cannot compare himself with Former President Mahama” he said as quoted by 3news.
“President Mahama has a track record as president, he has a track record as an appointee of Mr Mahama’s government because Mr Mahama and President Mills formed the government and appointed him.
“Everything he has achieved or claimed to have achieved was at the direction and behests of Prof Mills and Mr Mahama,” Sam Goerge who is also seeking reelection as lawmaker said.
He added “When it comes to records, Mr Mahama took over the reins of government at a time when we had only one oil field and bequeathed three oil fields to this government.
“In the area of education, Mr Mahama started construction of one hundred and twenty-three blocks, of Community Day Senior High Schools, forty-five of them were completed before he left office, and the rest were at various stages of completion.
“Under President Mahama you saw universities built. If you are talking about President Mahama as vice president and as president, you have the University of Health and Allied Sciences in the Volta Region, the University of Energy and Natural Resources in the then Brong Ahafo Region then you have the university in Somanya that President Mahama found the money for.”
