John Dramani Mahama, the flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), stated that he chose to run for office after transferring power to President Akufo-Addo in 2016 due to the extent of the harm the latter had caused to the country’s economy.
He claims that in order for him to use all of his knowledge to right economic wrongs, it would have been selfish for him to not have challenged.
“I was looking forward to retiring after I handed over to Akufo Addo and become a statesman. But I will be a selfish person if I see the extent to which they have destroyed this country when I have the experience, the knowledge, the integrity to turn things around.
“And then I will sit at home and say I will not offer myself to use that experience to turn things around for my children, Sharaf, Shahid or Farida and the youth of this country. We are going to work together with you to turn things around,” he said on Sunday, September 15, during a brief rally in Kissiman, Okaikoi North constituency, as a part of his larger Accra campaign.
In addition, he exhorted Ghanaians to support the NDC and him in the 2024 elections.
“Recently, I heard the flagbearer of the NPP, the vice president, saying that he has performed excellently as vice president so they should promote him to president. And I said, I don’t know who marked his script and whether he marked it himself, but I can tell him that when it comes to his performance, the mark that the people of Ghana will give him for management of the economy is F, fail.
“The mark that the people of Ghana will give him for management of the economy is F. F means fail. Because when it comes to the economy, they failed completely, absolutely. And they cannot escape blame for where they have landed us.”
