Let Ghanaians know where you built your second national theatre – Kokofu tells Mahama

Former Member of Parliament for Bantama, Dr. Henry Kwabena Kokofu, has challenged the Flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama, to tell Ghanaians where he’s built the national theater he promised.

According to Dr. Kokofu, John Mahama promised on August 6, 2013, to build a second national theater in Kumasi in the Ashanti Region.

Speaking on Peace FM, Dr. Kokofu, who is also a former Executive Director of the Environmental Protection Agency, urged Ghanaians, especially the people of the Ashanti Region, to be cautious of John Mahama as he makes significant promises ahead of the December 7 general elections.

“The information minister, Fati Abubakar, in a video, listed projects undertaken by the Akufo-Addo government since assuming power in 2017. The video also highlighted projects that the Mahama administration failed to complete after promising them to Ghanaians. One promise that stood out to me was ex-President Mahama’s commitment made on August 6, 2013, to build a second national theater in Kumasi. I am from Kumasi, and I have not seen Mahama’s national theater there.

“So, today, if he’s going around making big promises, including pledging to build a second national theater in Kumasi if he becomes president, it reminds me of his previous statement that Ghanaians have short memories. But even if we were suffering from short memory, we’ve been reminded by President Akufo-Addo’s government. We know Mahama; he is the same person we’ve known. Nothing has changed about him. Ghanaians will not fall for his big promises that he fails to honor. He once said that during election periods, you tell both the truth and lies to win votes. In this year’s election, we demand that only the truth be spoken during the campaign.” Dr. Kokofu stated.
