Ghana is not a basket case as being touted by “cynics” in the country, President John Mahama has said.
Speaking at the Adentan branch of the International Central Gospel Church (ICGC) on Sunday, 16 October, Mr Mahama said: “Outsiders have more faith in our country than we ourselves have in our country.”
“We think that our country is a basket case and whatever we do, we cannot make it, but you go outside and they appreciate what we are doing and say: ‘Look, you guys are doing well, you are on the right track, we believe that Ghana is one of the countries that is going to emerge in Africa’.
“And yet, when we come back home we have this cynical spirit. There are cynics and there are optimists. I happen to be an optimist. I’m a born optimist but unfortunately it looks like we a have a majority of cynics who believe that their lives can never get better, our nation can never get better. The extreme end of it is when somebody argues and says: ‘Why did we even become an independent country?’” Mr Mahama said.
Meanwhile, the President is taking his campaign to the Volta Region today, Monday, 17 October. The five-day campaign tour will see Mr Mahama visit at least 10 constituencies in the party’s stronghold.

ATOPAHENE JOHN FORD MAHAMA IS THE GREATEST JULOR AND ASHAWOBANZA GHANA EVER HAD AS A PRESIDENT. AS FOR THAT ONE HE IS THE WINNER. WITH HIS AND HIS BROTHER IBRAHIM'S BILLIONS OF DOLLARS OF INVESTMENTS IN DUBAI AND 23 CHILDREN AND COUNTING, NO ONE CAN CHALLENGE MAHAMA AND HIS GANG OF NDC JULOR. THAT IS WHY IT IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR GHANAIANS TO VOTE JULOR MAHAMA OUT IN DECEMBER 2016. INSHA ALLAHU!!!
Mr. President, who are those foreigners praising you? Have they stayed in Ghana before? Do you need foreigners to tell you your government is performing? Why are you campaigning to Ghanaians to renew your mandate and not to foreigners? Sometimes you sound like a child to me. Yes, Ghanaians have become cynics, hopeless and destitute because of your incompetent management of the economy. Ghanaians have not lost hope in their motherland. Rather, they have lost hope of a bleak future if you continue to occupy the highest office of the land because you have shown over these last eight years that indeed you are next to uselesz president this country has ever had. Ghanaians have hope for a brighter future for this country if they change you as their president on 7th December.
incompetent president in the world
