Flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Mahama, expressed confidence in his party’s ability to address the economic challenges caused by the “incompetent Akufo-Addo-Bawumia government.” Mahama highlighted the need for a visionary leader with a proven track record, emphasizing the quality of leadership within the NDC to positively influence the country’s direction.
During a visit to the Gbewaa Palace in Yendi, Mahama stressed the criticality of the upcoming 2024 general elections, emphasizing the necessity for a truthful government. He underscored the importance of integrity in governance and advocated for transparency and honesty in administration.
Mahama assured the Overlord of Dagbon, Yaa Naa Abubakari Mahama II, that if the NDC secures power, they will prioritize addressing national issues, including the Yendi water challenge.
“Today, our country Ghana is in crisis, we all know the hardships, pains, and sufferings our people are going through,” Mahama stated. “So the elections of 2024, this year is one of the most crucial elections in the history of Ghana. We need a competent, selfless, honest, truthful government that will come and lead Ghana out of the mess into which it has been thrown by the Akufo-Addo-Bawumia government.”
“I’m confident that NDC has the men and women to turn our fortunes around and make Ghana stand back on its feet,” he added.
In response, the Yaa Naa advised Mahama to conduct a clean campaign devoid of insults and derogatory remarks, emphasizing its importance in maintaining peace in the country. Naa Jacob Mahama urged Mahama to ensure post-election tranquility, emphasizing the need for a peaceful and harmonious nation.
“I want to congratulate you and Alhaji Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, the Vice President, for a clean campaign so far,” Naa Jacob Mahama said. “He was here last year, and I admonished him to lead a clean campaign with you, devoid of name-calling and bitterness.”
“Today I’m giving you the same advice, you have no other brother beside you. Being on the opposite of the political divide does not make you enemies, it rather enriches the politics of the family,” he urged Mr. Mahama.
