The National Democratic Congress (NDC) Flagbearer, John Dramani Mahama, has raised alarm over the Akufo-Addo-Bawumia government’s mismanagement, claiming that it is the greatest threat to Ghana’s democracy.
Mr Mahama, in a Facebook post on Monday, July 31, urged Ghanaians to vote out the current administration in the 2024 election in order to save the country.
He argues that the nearly seven years of rule by the Akufo-Addo and Bawumia administrations have jeopardized Ghana’s constitutional democracy.
According to him, only a change in leadership, with the NDC administration replacing the current inept NPP administration, can assure the durability of democracy and restore hope to the people.The National Democratic Congress’s presidential candidate, John Dramani Mahama, believes the Akufo-Addo-Bawumia administration’s mismanagement is the greatest threat to Ghana’s democracy.
In a Facebook post, the former President urged Ghanaians to vote the current administration out in the 2024 election in order to save the country.
“Transparent and accountable governance in which opportunities are open to all and not just a few is the greatest guarantor of our democracy.
“The almost seven years of Akufo Addo and Bawumia’s maladministration is the biggest threat to the survival of our constitutional democracy. Only a CHANGE in this inept NPP government can ensure the sustainability of our democracy.
“The next NDC administration will work to restore hope to Ghanaians quickly. The business-as-usual approach to governance, lies and propaganda will not work. We cannot and must avoid repeating the mistakes of the NPP.”
On Saturday, the former President also criticized President Akufo-Addo for the behavior of his appointees.
According to Mahama, President Akufo-Addo appears to have forgotten his previous admonition to his appointees to seek personal riches in the private sector.
Mahama raised concern that the current behavior of President Akufo-Addo’s appointees deviates greatly from the president’s admonition six years ago.
Mahama made these statements while addressing the Academic City University College’s graduating class of 2023.
“Some of you who will find yourself in politics, I wish to sound a note of caution, as President Akufo-Addo said if your goal into office is to enrich yourself, then don’t come, go to the private sector.
“Very profound words were spoken by the President, more than 6 and a half years ago. With what is happening today, I’m sure the President himself does not remember he spoke these very wise words.”
