Mr. John Dramani Mahama, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Flagbearer, has underscored the importance of “an experienced leader” to transform the country’s fortunes.
Speaking to party supporters during his working visit to the Awayaso West Wuogun and Adenta Constituencies in Accra on Thursday, Mahama asserted that the NDC possessed the “experience” necessary to implement solutions to “rescue” the country from its current “economic mess.”
“Our nation is in crisis, times have never been as hard in Ghana as they are today… Unfortunately, the people who have caused the economic crises do not even realize there’s a crisis,” he remarked.
“If you [NPP] have anything to do for Ghanaians you have enough time to do it now. If you can’t do it in five months, there is no guarantee that you can do it even if we give you four years or eight years,” he added.
The tour began at the La Bawaleshie Chief’s Palace, where Mahama addressed party supporters and urged them to be vigilant in the December polls.
In his address, Mahama contended that Ghanaians were “wide awake” and would no longer settle for “false promises” from the NPP.
“They [NPP] cannot take Ghanaians for a ride….those false promises are not going to work,” he stated, calling on the electorate in the constituency to vote for the NDC and Mr. John Dumelo as Parliamentary candidate for the Awayaso West Wuogun Constituency in December.
The Flagbearer criticized the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Presidential Candidate, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, describing him as an “inexperienced driver’s mate.”
“If you have two buses and one is a driver’s mate, who has been an apprentice to a driver, and you have an experienced driver who has driven you several times, back and forth, to your destination, which of those two buses will you sit in?” he asked.
Mahama recalled the disturbances during the Awayaso West Wuogun election in 2020 and pledged to “pursue justice” for those who lost their lives during the elections in the constituency.
He promised that the next NDC government would build a Community Day School in the Awayaso West Wuogun Constituency, which currently lacks secondary schools.
At the University of Ghana’s Commonwealth Hall, Mahama said he would collaborate with private developers to construct more hostels to address accommodation challenges on the university campus if elected.
John Dumelo expressed confidence in winning the Awayaso West Wuogun Constituency seat for the NDC and urged the electorate to vote massively on Election Day.
He also requested Mahama to restore the licenses of collapsed banks if he becomes President.
At the Presbyterian Church of Ghana, Calvary Congregation, in the Adenta Constituency, Mahama reiterated the “24-hour Economy” agenda and outlined plans to stabilize the economy and create jobs.
Mr. Mohammed Ramadan, Member of Parliament for the Adentan Constituency, encouraged his constituents to vote for Mahama and ensure the NDC retains the majority of seats in Parliament at the polls.
The NDC delegation then moved to the Adenta Market, where hundreds of party supporters gathered to hear Mahama, amidst displays of party paraphernalia and stunt riding.
