Even for the North, scholarships for secondary school education had not been paid from 2014, this government had to pay that\u2026 arrears in the energy sector, arrears in the road sector so what did they actually use the money for.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd they borrowed more than any other government in the history of this country,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, Mahama may struggle with a message to convince Ghanaians to earn their votes in 2020 though he qualifies as the party\u2019s best candidate.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a candidate who registered the biggest defeat in Ghana\u2019s history as an incumbent but he is the most marketable\u2026 he has the wherewithal and he\u2019s been marketed but what will be his message in 2020\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen you look at all the research it tells you that the main opposition candidate is not rising but clearly it appears that there is something about his record which I\u2019m not too sure so I really wonder what his message [will be].\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8216;He had more resources within his reach, much more than any other President under the fourth republic has ever had, but he made the worst decisions and wasted them completely&#8217;, this is the stance of Founder of the Danquah Institute, Gabby Asare Otchere-Darko on the leadership of Former President, John Dramani Mahama.
