“We have been able to perform much better than the situation we inherited, in fact the data is very clear so my advice to Mahama is to take a look at data before you speak or you will end up embarrassing yourself. The data has been very clear Agriculture, Industry, Inflation, Interest rate, creation of jobs we have done better than his administrationâ€.
