• Former President Mahama says the Akufo-Addo-Bawumia government is the greatest political scam ever
• The former President said the country’s dire economic situation ought to be blamed on the mismanagement of the NPP government
• The 2020 NDC flagbearer wants Ghanaians not to despair since the NDC holds the magic wand to turn round the country’s economic fortunes

Former President John Dramani Mahama has taken a swipe at the economic credentials of the NPP government led by President Akufo-Addo.

According to him, the unprecedented economic hardship facing the ordinary Ghanaian makes the President and his Vice, Dr Bawumia, the greatest political scam in the history of the fourth Republic.

According to him, this is due to the unprecedented economic challenges in the country.

Speaking at the opening ceremony of a Conference of Lawyers affiliated with the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) on Sunday, Mr Mahama said the worsening economic conditions ought to be blamed squarely on the mismanagement of the President and his entire government.
