Former President of the Republic of Ghana and flagbearer of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama, has assured Ghanaians of completing all his unfinished projects, including those initiated by the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) if elected as President again in 2024.

According to him, his party is a patriotic and well-meaning political party that believes in the spirit of continuity and will not in anyway allow the money of taxpayers go waste. Mahama emphasized that it is the tax-payer’s money that is used for such projects, and it will be unfair for such projects to be abandoned.

The former President made this known while speaking at the NDC Greater Accra Regional Zongo Caucus Stakeholders Forum in Accra on Saturday, September 16, 2023. The promise came after he accused the current administration of neglecting landmark projects that his party started, particularly in Zongo communities, before leaving office in 2016.

“I’m making a promise that when we come, we will continue all abandoned projects. Even projects that this current NPP government does not finish, we will continue and finish because they are funded by taxpayers’ money, so when you abandon them, you’re wasting the money of Ghanaians.

“When we were sharing the E-Blocks, several of them were allocated to the Zongo and Muslim communities but many of those schools have been abandoned. We have done a lot in our Zongos but we are not the type who come with a paper and read. Our people can see for themselves the work the NDC did when we were in office,”he added.

The forum brought together representatives of various Zongo and Muslim sects and institutions within and outside the party to share their experiences and discuss topics of mutual interest to create social connections and a sense of community.
