His tweet read: "Comparing Mahama's NDC gov't and Akufo-Addo's NPP gov't is like comparing the scores of two FAILED students. Ghana deserves a real, visionary, patriotic, incorruptible leader. But that can only be possible if we as citizens, become honest and speak truth to power at all times."

The tweet was posted a day after a Coalition of Transport Operators embarked on a partial strike that disrupted movement across parts of the capital.

2016 campaign tweets of Akufo-Addo and Bawumia popped up in the wake of the strike pointing to how candidate Akufo-Addo promised to reduce fuel prices and insurance premiums only to constinually do the opposite since taking office.

Those tweets were shared by pro-Mahama people who were also slammed by pro-government activists pointing to fuel price increases and similar strikes under Mahama.

Comparing Mahama's NDC gov't and Akufo-Addo's NPP gov't is like comparing the scores of two FAILED students. Ghana deserves a real, visionary, patriotic, incorruptible leader. But that can only be possible if we as citizens, become honest and speak truth to power at all times.
