John D. Mahama
Ghana has retrogressed under President Nana Akufo-Addo, former President John Mahama has said.
According to him, Mr Akufo-Addo has erased all the good things hus government inherited.
Mr Mahama observed that despite the intervention of the International Monetary Fund through a three-year US$3-billion extended credit facility, the economy is still reeling under challenges and difficulties, as the cedi free-falls and unemployment skyrockets.
Addressing a gathering in Wenchi as part of his Building Ghana Tour, Mr Mahama said Mr Akufo-Addo has messed up the entire economy.
“People thought there was development and prosperity here, and now we have lost everything. The nation is pitiful, the country is facing hardships, and the economy is bad.”
“I thought they would continue the good work I left behind, but the nation seems to be retrogressing in development,” Mr Mahama complained.
Mr. Mahama recalled when Ghana held the title of the black star of Africa after being the first African country to gain independence and urged the youth to stay hopeful in the promise of a better Ghana, as the NDC is the best bet for better development and growth.
Meanwhile, the presidential candidate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) kicked off the Building Ghana Tour in the Bono Region on November 17.
