Critics will praise President Mahama in 2016
The Central Regional Chairman of the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC), Bernard Allotey Jacobs, says those criticising President John Dramani Mahama will praise him in 2016.

Allotey Jacobs last year described the Minister of Finance, Seth Terkper, as the 'Judas' in the NDC who is gradually leading the party to opposition.
He made this comment at a time the cedi was fast depreciating against the dollar, and the economy was moving from bad to worse. Mr Allotey Jacobs subsequently asked President John Dramani Mahama to sack Mr Terkper because he was not working as expected.
However, in a sharp turnaround during the panel discussion on Peace FM’s norning show Kokrokoo, Mr Allotey Jacobs described Mr Terkper as a ‘special assistant to God’.

"I used to say Seth Terkper was a 'Judas' in the NDC, and I was misconstrued at that time... But Seth Terkper is now a special assistant to God. He has done well in stabilising the cedi...it is only a fool who does not change his mind,” he said.
The achievement of the Mahama-led administration, he said, were so many that Ghanaians would not think twice voting for him again.
"Never in the history of this country has any government invested more than $300 million in infrastructural development in the Central Region...all those who are criticising and crucifying President John Dramani Mahama will praise him in 2016," he added.
