Ex-President Mahama voices worry over Ghana’s hardships under Akufo-Addo, urges resilience
Former President John Dramani Mahama has expressed concerns about the challenges currently faced by Ghanaians under the Akufo-Addo government.
Despite acknowledging the hardships, he urged citizens not to lose hope, emphasizing that God’s plan for Ghana is still unfolding.
Addressing the congregation of the Sanctuary of Wind and Fire Assemblies of God Church in Tamale on New Year’s Eve, the former president acknowledged that some Ghanaians, especially the youth, are disillusioned and considering boycotting the 2024 polls due to the difficulties they are enduring.
Mahama implored the electorate to participate in the electoral process, encouraging them to cast their votes on Election Day, December 7, 2024.
In his message of hope, Mahama noted that the current crisis in Ghana is a test of faith orchestrated by God. Despite the challenges, he urged the people not to give up on their country, emphasizing that God has not forsaken Ghana.
Mahama pointed out that trials and tribulations serve as both tests and learning experiences, and he urged citizens to persevere and work diligently toward achieving their goals.
Mahama acknowledged the decline of Ghana’s international standing, symbolized by the once-vibrant Black Star, and expressed optimism that the country would rise again.
He assured the congregation that the upcoming elections in December 2024 would provide an opportunity for Ghanaians to make a choice that would lead to the prosperity and resurgence of the nation. Mahama concluded by affirming his belief that Ghana, often referred to as the black star of Africa, would regain its prominence despite the current challenges.
