Communications Director for NPP, Yaw Buabeng Asamoah<\/strong><\/p>\n

It appears the ruling party, New Patriotic Party (NPP) can now evaluate its political rival\u2019s sleep patterns.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Communications Director for NPP, Yaw Buabeng Asamoah is of a firm belief that former President John Dramani Mahama is experiencing \u2018sleepless nights\u2019.<\/p>\n

This is so, he says, because the Free Senior High School (SHS) policy was not rolled-out during his tenure.<\/p>\n

His comment comes on the heels of comments by a high-ranking official of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) that the policy will definitely not ensure Akufo-Addo\u2019s continuous stay in office beyond his first term.<\/p>\n

Spokesperson for former president Mahama, Joyce Bawa-Mogtari, is quoted to have said that the implementation of the free SHS policy by the NPP administration will not keep President Akufo-Addo in power, but that the President should rather concentrate on fulfilling his many promises.<\/p>\n

She was reacting to remarks earlier made by President Akufo-Addo when he addressed staff and students of the Bolgatanga SHS.<\/p>\n

\u201d . . this policy has come to stay. I know that there are people in this country who don\u2019t want this policy, who have been campaigning against this policy and they are dreaming that they are going to come back to power to cancel the policy,\u201d Nana Addo said.<\/p>\n

Buabeng Asamoah, who was contributing to a panel discussion on Peace FM\u2019s morning show \u2018Kokrokoo\u2019 Wednesday, said: \u201che (Mahama) doesn\u2019t have a message on free SHS . . . one thing worrying John Mahama, something which is giving him sleepless nights is the fact that he couldn\u2019t implement free SHS policy under his tenure. Even E-blocks he couldn\u2019t complete . . . and these are the people who want Ghanaians to vote for them again\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
