SONA: Mahama promises to address Ghana’s economic crisis

President John Dramani Mahama has promised Ghanaians that his administration will have resolved the nation’s economic crisis before his four-year term

He acknowledged the dire economic conditions while promising to steer the country back toward growth and prosperity in his first State of the Nation Address to Parliament during his second term, which was delivered on Thursday, February 27.

“I John Dramanai Mhaam will fix the economic crisis confronting our country and reset it on a path of growth and prosperity.”

President Mahama added, “The state of the nation is not good. Our economy is in crisis, and the people of Ghana are suffering unprecedented hardships,” Mahama admitted. However, he emphasized his commitment to finding solutions rather than dwelling on the past.

“It is not my style to lament and shift blame. I am therefore not here to lament, even though there is much to lament about,” he stated.

“I promised to fix ‘dumsor,’ and I fixed it. There was no power rationing or load management in Ghana,” he reminded the nation.
