Ghana’s Situation Worse Than Government Is Telling Us – Mahama

Flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama, has highlighted the dire nature of Ghana’s situation under the watch of his successor President Akufo-Addo as a gargantuan one.

According to the former president, the current state of Ghana is very challenging. Despite the daunting reality, he and the NDC are committed and up to the task. “It is not going to be easy.

The more I look at the situation, it is even worse than what the government is telling us. It will take hard work and the cooperation of the entire country,” the former president stated.

Mahama indicated that every statistic shows that the country is on its knees and urgently needs a reset by a different group of people.

He mentioned that unlike the New Patriotic Party (NPP) which boasts about having the best human resources but does little when in power, the NDC has the men and women to turn things around, as they have done before.

Mahama criticized the NPP, stating that they cannot continue to stay in power and attempt to find solutions to a situation they contributed to, especially when the current president pleaded with Ghanaians to give him a chance and led them into difficulties.

He emphasized that his opponent’s plea for another four years must not be entertained. Addressing a large crowd in Tamale on July 27, during the launch of the party’s national campaign, Mahama urged party members and supporters to gear up for the upcoming work and ensure a resounding victory on December 7.

He called on supporters to actively campaign everywhere they find themselves, without waiting for his campaign team.

Mahama assured that the NDC will protect every party vote and urged supporters to remain vigilant on Election Day to safeguard the will of the people.

Mahama criticized the NPP, asserting that four years is enough to address the challenges caused by the current administration.

He pledged to be truthful at all times and emphasized his commitment to job creation, modernizing food production, empowering women in business through a Women’s Bank, and tackling corruption within the government.

Additionally, Mahama reiterated his promise to improve educational facilities, address accommodation challenges in tertiary institutions, and review the controversial free Senior High School policy through consultation with stakeholders to abolish the Double Track system.

The former president emphasized that change is necessary for Ghana and expressed confidence that this change would materialize in December.
