Give us a honeymoon period to put things in place when we come to power – Mahama begs Ghanaians

Flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama is on his knees begging Ghanaians to have patience with the party when he wins the 2024 General Election to become president.

Addressing attendees at a 'Campus Connect' event in Hohoe, the former President begged Ghanaians to give him a honeymoon period to put things in order when he is sworn in as president.

According to him, the next NDC government will need time to address the economic crisis created by the current New Patriotic Party (NPP) government.

“And you will realize the harm that the NPP administration has done to Ghana’s economy. This country is broke, and so we will beg you that when we come into office give us a bit of a honeymoon, let’s put things in place so that we bring the economy back onto its feet,” Mahama said.

The former President continued, "And I will plead with the teachers union, GNAT, NAGRAT, UTAG, and TEWU, and all of them, I know all of you are clamoring for allowances. Let me caution you that in 2025 when we take over we will show you the books and the finances of this country."

“And when we have done that we can accede to your demands again, and that’s why I’m being very measured in the promises that I make because we all know the crises in which this country has been plunged.”

John Dramani Mahama is in the Volta Region as part of his ‘Building Ghana Tour’. He is campaigning to canvass for votes to win the presidential polls in the 2024 General Election.
