President Nana Akufo-Addo has taken a shot at John Dramani Mahama over the latter\u2019s claims of \u201cunprecedented infrastructural development\u201d in the country while in office,\u00a0saying his comments on the bad nature of roads in the Western Region and other parts of the country during the campaign ahead of the 2016 elections have been vindicated.<\/p>\n

He made the remark after the people from the northern part of the Western Region complained about their poor road networks to him when he toured the area.<\/p>\n

Paramount Chief for the Sefwi Wiawso Traditional Area Katakyie Kwesi Bumangama II, in listing some of the issues which were of utmost concern to them, noted bad roads as a major one, as well as the need\u00a0for a new region to be created from the Western Region.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

He also appealed to the president to ensure that repair work on the bad roads, particularly in the cocoa-growing areas, is expedited.<\/p>\n

Addressing the chiefs and people of the Sefwi Wiawso Traditional Area on Friday, President Akufo-Addo said when he raised issues concerning the poor road network years back, the then President, John Mahama took a dig at him.<\/p>\n

\u201cDo you remember that during the 2016 general elections I came here and complained about the bad road networks? When I got to Accra, I said it but John Mahama had claimed that during his tenure of office, Ghana had seen unprecedented infrastructural development.\u201d<\/p>\n
