The Director of Communications for the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Mr. Richard Ahiagbah, has stated that the flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Former President John Dramani Mahama, lacks a track record of posing significant questions.

He asserts that Mr. Mahama, during his tenure, neglected to inquire about critical matters, like the designation of the then President of Kenya, Uhuru Kenyatta, as the President of the Republic of Ghana.
His remarks coincide with Mr. Mahama’s statement that he would have raised important questions regarding the train accident on the Tema-Mpakadan railway line that transpired on Thursday, April 18, 2024, if he were currently serving as president.
“How can you conduct a test run on a new railway line without a track inspection? How long had the vehicle been on the track before the test run? If I were President, I’ll be asking some serious questions,” Mr Mahama wrote on his X Platform.

Responding to him also on his X platform, Mr Ahiagbah said “H.E Mahama failed to ask any serious questions when his Jubilee House staff designated President Uhuru Kenyatta as President of the Republic of Ghana instead of himself, the President at the time. That negligence embarrassed Ghana Internationally.
“Thus, he has zero track record of asking serious questions. The derailment of the DMU train has left many unanswered questions, and serious questions are being asked to ensure the saboteurs are fished out.”

The incident happened when the new DMU train, nearing a curve at Km76+100, encountered a stationary vehicle blocking the railway track.
The 41-year-old truck driver, Abel Dzidotor, whose purported negligence caused the obstruction and subsequent collision, has been sentenced to six months in jail by the Juapong Circuit Court.
