President Akufo-Addo has jabbed the flagbearer of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama, following Mahama’s recent promises on the Free SHS policy.
He lambasted Mahama saying he has ‘zero’ credibility when it comes to implementation of policies hence cannot be entrusted to sustain the current free SHS programme.

He added that at the time the NPP promised free SHS four years ago, the NDC, led by Mahama rubbished the idea. Therefore, Mahama cannot be trusted to sustain the policy.
“…For 8 years, he and his party were loud in their assertions that they did not believe in Free SHS and Free TVET. They did not like the idea, they rubbished it at every opportunity and they proclaimed that it will destroy Ghana’s educational system,” Akufo-Addo stressed.
He added: “Your Excellency, please try another one. Your credibility on this one is zero. Free SHS and Free TVET cannot be trusted in your hands,” he said.
