Netizens descend on Mahama over his comments on Agenda 111 project

In a post sighted by GhanaWeb on micro-blogging platform, Twitter, Mahama mentioned that although the Agenda 111 programme is in its fourth year, the Akufo-Addo-led administration has nothing to show for it.

“The ‘Agenda 111’ hospitals promise is in its 4th year, yet not a single hospital has been completed to support quality health care delivery. This is contrary to the lofty promise made in 2020. The NPP must learn to take Ghanaians seriously. Enough of the slogans, ” John Dramani Mahama wrote on his Twitter page.

Reacting to this, some netizens have described Mahama's comment on the Agenda 111 project as false.

According to the users of the bird app, the former president’s statement that Agenda 111 is in its fourth year is inaccurate because the initiative was announced in April 2020 during President Akufo-Addo's 8th COVID address to the nation.

They subsequently noted that the sod-cutting ceremony for the programme was held in August 2021.

Others, on the other hand, accused Mr Mahama of lacking new messages for Ghanaians.

Here are some messages from John Dramani Mahama’s critics

There he goes again engaging in propaganda sophistry. How did the 'Agenda 111' hospitals promise get to its 4th year? Prez Akufo-Addo first announced it in May 2020 during his 8th COVID address to the nation. Sod-cutting was done in August 2021. 1/3 pic.twitter.com/dfvfffdezR

As a biomedical engineer, hospitals take time to build properly. This is normal. I should expect a few to be completed between this year and next year
