SONA2025: I’m not here to complain, I will fix the economy – Mahama assures Ghanaians

President John Dramani Mahama has assured Ghanaians that he will resolve the country’s economic crisis by the end of his four-year term, promising to restore financial stability and set the nation on a path to prosperity.

Delivering his first State of the Nation Address in his second term on Thursday, February 27, Mahama acknowledged the severe economic challenges but expressed confidence in his administration’s ability to turn things around.

“I, John Dramani Mahama, will fix the economic crisis confronting our country and reset it on a path of growth and prosperity,” he declared.

He admitted that “the state of the nation is not good,” but emphasized his focus on finding solutions rather than placing blame.

“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.

Mahama also referenced his past achievements, reminding Ghanaians of his success in resolving the country’s energy crisis.

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

His address outlined his administration’s commitment to economic recovery, presenting a roadmap aimed at stabilizing the economy and ensuring long-term growth.
