All the aforementioned attributes are glaring inherent qualities of former President John Dramani Mahama who is contesting the December 7, 2024, presidential election on the ticket of the National Democratic Congress.

And given the current state of disintegration of the economy of our dear country which has led to despair, impoverishment and excruciating suffering, there is an urgent need for change.

Eight painful years is enough. We've been too long in the wind and too long in the rain, and how I wish we could turn back the hand of time to the old good Mahama days when he was president.

Nevertheless, all is not lost, we have another opportunity to lie in the loving arms of JDM once again. It has, therefore, become crucial that we choose him on December 7, to rescue Ghana and help us to build the Ghana we all want.
