One billboard references Mahama saying he can't work magic and put money in the pockets of Ghanaians.
Another billboard features a story about public schools not having chalk under the Mahama administration.
Akufo-Addo's lawyer, Kow Essuman, received criticism online for sharing some of the images of the billboards.
These billboards follow the erecting of old tweets of President Akufo-Addo and Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia as a form of criticism of the current government.
Those billboards were erected by the individual known as the Receipts Guy.
The first billboards, erected around Danquah Circle in Accra in late November 2023, were pulled down by unknown individuals.
A member of the NDC’s national communications team, Emmanuel Mettle-Nunoo, described the billboards attacking Mahama as childish in an interview with YEN.com.gh.
“The NPP folks think that Ghanaian electorate are fools and they think that they can take the Ghanaian electorate for a ride.”
"This propaganda the NPP seeks to achieve clearly shows that they are not thinking and they are still in the campaign strategy they used seven years ago," Mettle-Nunoo said.
UK firms back Mahama in poll
Two UK research firms have predicted election victory for Mahama in 2024.
These predictions favouring Mahama came from the Economist Intelligence Unit and Fitch Solutions.
The Economist Intelligence Unit said declining living standards, limited job opportunities, and poor public services will drive Mahama's victory.
Fitch Solutions said former President Mahama is expected to win the swing regions by nearly 48%.
Bawumia fires at NDC rescue mission
YEN.com.gh reported that Bawumia dismissed the National Democratic Congress' campaign to rescue Ghana from the New Patriotic Party.
Bawumia said God had already rescued Ghanaians after the NDC lost the 2016 general election.
The vice president was recently declared the winner of the NPP presidential primaries.
