What is the Difference between John Darigah Mahama 2012 Youth Manifesto: Titled Youth Development and 2024 Youth Manifesto
My fellow Ghanaian youths please do not allow yourselves to be hoodwinked by John Darigah Mahama( JDM) like he did in 2012. JDM is a congenital liar and can lie to convince you.
My fellow Ghanaian youth, kindly find below some of the promises JDM made to us in 2012 but failed to deliver on them.
