John Dramani Mahama, the flagbearer of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), expressed concern that every sector in Ghana is currently in distress and collapsing under the Akufo-Addo-Bawumia administration.
He made these remarks during his Building Ghana tour while addressing the Chief and people of Sefwi Wiawso in the Western North region on Wednesday (13 December).
Mahama emphasized the urgent need for the NDC to rescue the country from what he perceives as the deteriorating state under the ruling NPP. He argued that Ghana is regressing under Akufo-Addo’s leadership and claimed that the current administration has comprehensively failed to uplift the fortunes of Ghanaians over the past seven years.
In his statement, Mahama likened the development of a nation to a baton race, expressing his belief that the baton he handed over to Akufo-Addo and Dr Bawumia fell along the way. He asserted that the NDC must come back, pick up the baton, and continue the race.
Mahama underscored the importance of experienced leadership, stating, “It is time for someone with experience, someone who has done the work before, it is time for the real men in Ghana to return and pick up the baton and continue the race, and that is why the NDC has selected me to return and continue the good works we started.”
