The 2024 Presidential Candidate of the opposition National Democratic Congress has said the party has no option but to win the next general elections to reset the nation on a path of transformation for progress and prosperity.
The former President noted the Akufo-Addo and Bawumia led NPP administration has failed to meet the expectation of the Ghanaian people and they must prepare to bow out at the next election.
“They must start preparing their handing-over notes and account to the people of Ghana for their stewardship” he added.
Mr. Mahama indicated, “Our socioeconomic foundation as a nation has, in the last few years, not only been threatened, but fractured and dislocated.”
He noted, “the lack of vision and prospects by government is patently discomforting” reiterating “that is why we have no option but to win elections 2024 to reset our country on a path of transformation for progress and prosperity.”
“I have an unshakeable conviction, I believe, and I know Ghana shall rise again. My vision for our beloved Ghana aligns with your expectations for a better Ghana, one that we will build together” he asserted.
The NDC flagbearer believes hope also springs from a leadership willing to accept responsibility and fix problems, rather than pass the buck, promising a leadership that is honest and does not lie to its people and a leadership that is consultative and willing to build a consensus in solving the challenges that confront Ghanaians in their daily lives.
“Beyond my vision, ladies and gentlemen, our constitution also gives us hope. It creates the foundation for our 4th Republican democracy. A democratic dispensation that is still the best form of government and which we must guard and protect, because however abysmal and appalling the performance of a government is, the people have an opportunity to make a change at the next election.
“We must urgently commence building the Ghana we want together because our dear nation Ghana is sailing through perilous seas” Mr. Mahama noted.
Meanwhile, the President has also chided the Akufo-Addo administration for Ghana’s drop on the Press Freedom index in the past two years.
He alleged the rights of citizens including journalists no longer matter to the government, adding corruption and the raid on the public purse have come to a crescendo.
