Mahama Fires Back at Akufo-Addo Over 'Dumsor' Legacy - ‘Liars cannot go to heaven’

Ghana's presidential election is just around the corner, and the campaign trail is heating up. The latest salvo has been fired by President Nana Akufo-Addo, who has launched a scathing attack on his predecessor and opposition flagbearer, John Dramani Mahama.

According to President Akufo-Addo, Mahama's legacy is marred by his inability to provide stable electricity during his tenure. The President's comments have sparked a fierce response from Mahama, who has accused Akufo-Addo of peddling falsehoods.

Mahama has countered that the power challenges were resolved before he left office in 2017, and that Akufo-Addo's claims are a desperate attempt to discredit him.

“I expect that when NPP is telling lies, they’ll leave it to the younger ones and the junior ones to do. But when the senior ones like Nana Akufo-Addo says that ‘dumsor’ was not solved before they came, I heard him say that if we could not keep the lights on, how can we run a 24-hour economy?

“In 2016, ‘dumsor’ had been solved. Nobody’s lights went off in 2016, nobody had load shedding in 2016, that is on record,” he responded.

Drawing an analogy from the Bible, Mahama underscored that liars will not make it to heaven.

“You know, liars cannot go to heaven and let me give you a Bible quotation, Proverbs Chapter 19:9, he said, those who bear false witness will not go unpunished and the liars will be destroyed,” Mahama added.
