Matthew 25:14-30: The biblical parable Mahama used in describing NPP, Akufo-Addo administration
The Flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress, John Dramani Mahama, has drawn a comparison between President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, the New Patriotic Party (NPP), and a biblical parable.
During the launch of the NDC 2024 Manifesto on Saturday, August 24, 2024, Mahama stated that Akufo-Addo, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, and the NPP, as a team, are worse than the steward reprimanded in the Parable of the Talents as told in Matthew 25:14-30.
He explained that the parable teaches on investing wisely whatever is entrusted to a person for the benefit of his or her master.
In this context, John Mahama indicated that the master represents Ghana.
He said “This administration is just like the last of the servants who buried his talent that was given to him by his master and when his master came, he returned the one talent to him.
“But in this case of Akufo-Addo and Bawumia and their cabal, they did not bury the one talent and give us back our one talent when we returned, they gambled with the talents we gave them and they landed the people of Ghana in a huge debt,” Mahama explained.
He further cautioned Ghanaians against voting for the New Patriotic Party again, warning that doing so would mean bringing back President Akufo-Addo to power.
“We cannot go on this path. Lessons must be learned from the experience of these last almost eight years.
“… A vote for the NPP will be an expression of satisfaction with the impunity of the last eight years. A vote for the NPP is a vote for a third term for Nana Akufo-Addo,” he reiterated.
