Vice President, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has challenged former President John Mahama to list opportunities he created for the youth during his tenure as President.
This comes on the back of promises by Mr. Mahama that the next NDC government will continue to create equal opportunities for all Ghanaians.
Speaking at Kpong on Tuesday during his tour of the Eastern Region, Dr. Bawumia questioned the sincerity and credibility of Mr Mahama's promise.
This according to him is because the NDC's Presidential candidate has no track record of creating equal opportunities as Vice President and President.

"For 8 years when he was in government as President and Vice President, where were the equal opportunities he created for Ghanaians?" Dr. Bawumia asked.
"They cannot tell you what equal opportunity they have given to our youth.
"Unemployment is not equal opportunity. Dumsor is not an equal opportunity. The cancellation of teacher trainee allowance is not an equal opportunity. SADA Akonfem is not an equal opportunity.
"The cancellation of nursing trainee allowance is not equal opportunity. Decline of agriculture is not equal opportunity, neglect of the Zongos is not equal opportunity, neglect of rural infrastructure is not equal opportunity," he listed.
But on the contrary, the Vice President said the NPP has proven to be the party for the masses by creating equal opportunities for all.
"We are giving teacher trainee allowances, we are giving nursing trainee allowances, we are doing One Constituency One Ambulance, One District One Factory, Planting for Food and Jobs, absorbing exam fees for BECE and WASSCE examinations, made Post Graduate medical education free, provided drones to deliver urgently needed medicines to remote areas,
One million Dollars per Constituency, Nation Builders Corps and Free Senior High School education.

"And we are going to give loans to tertiary students to help with access to education. We also want Zongo communities to have model Senior High Schools."
He also urged the constituents of Lower Manya to rally behind President Akufo-Addo to continue with his all-inclusive developments and interventions, as well as the NPP Parliamentary Candidate, Theophilus Tetteh.
"We are the party of the masses. The party of the people. The party of equal opportunity and the party of all Ghanaians.
"Let's vote four more for Nana and lets go forward with development," he concluded.
