Former President John Dramani Mahama has stated that he should have retired, but due to the current state of the country, he has been forced to rescind that decision.
He stated that he could not stand by and watch President Akufo-Addo destroy the country because the next generation of youth would have no place to live.
The aspiring presidential candidate opined that Ghana needs a change delivered by an experienced leader and not an experiment like what the current leadership has delivered.
Mahama, Mr. “I should have retired, but I wouldn’t have been able to sleep. Ghana belongs to all of us. I have children and grandchildren, and if the current inept leadership is allowed to continue, it will destroy the future of the next generation.
"That is why I want to return and help Ghanaians overcome their current economic difficulties. I believe the NDC will win the general elections in 2024.”
John Dramani Mahama, in a campaign speech in the Bono Region, accused the NPP of being full of lies and deception.
According to the former president, after their lies and sweet promises, President Nana Akufo-Addo and his Vice failed to live up to their promises and meet the huge expectations of Ghanaians.
“Ghana is now a poor country. We are bankrupt and the government itself says we cannot pay our debts”, he added.
John Mahama is in the Bono Region meeting with his party, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) delegates to campaign for their votes during the presidential primaries slated for 13th May 2023.
He told delegates in the Jaman North constituency that despite a series of advice and caution, the government continued to engage in excessive borrowing, coupled with economic mismanagement, which has brought us to where we are, a bankrupt country.

This man paa! Very funny. We don't need drunkard as President anymore. We need serious mind. It should be Ken or Bawumia period. Kwabena Duffour is more tainted than even Mahama. So NDC is no go area now .
Mr. Mahama please help yourself and family, we don't need your help, thank you
This man knows no shame. 1, Your excessive borrowing at high interest rates is what has brought us here. Terminal 3 at Kotoka , we are still paying at high interest rates. T3 at Tema harbour 2 Contracts at inflated rates 3.Pay or take 4.Doomso etc, they are so many space won't allow. You are a disgrace and GH will never forget your poor performance, you are the worst president Ghana has seen so far.
Nana Addo term is over in 2024 so how do you rescue Ghana from him. If you want to come to power again, please say so but don't use Nana Addo as an excuse. The man cannot run for office again!. You have served your term and done everything you knew how . When the time came for Ghana to assess you and to decide whether or not you should continue to rule, they said no to you twice. So please, take a back seat and let fresh ideas be presented.
So Mahama now thinks he is the only person who can save Ghana? But you were given the opportunity to save Ghana and you failed. So what again? Ghana was there before you and will continue to be there after you are gone, so stop deceiving yourself.
This is absolutely false. Your track record smells like ***barred word***. Pack yourself somewhere, nobody needs you because you are simply incompetent.
Eiiiiiiii, wonders will never end in Ghana!
Eiiiiiiiish!!! Wopana, power go keel you oooo!!!! So so talk talk saaa!!!! Hmmmmmmmmm!!!!. Please if you couldn't save us before what is the guarantee you can now? Dumsor when things were not spoilt and now its Sordum when you purport things are that bad. This time if you don't put of your light it'll be on saaaaaaa chopping your electric power [Sordum]. And you want us to go back to dumsor? Eh!!! Wopana tapping cool, like my Tkdi people will say.
This is strange except in ghaba. A retiree seeking employment again because alleged non perfornvce of his successor.
By accepting bribes for road contracts from Kanazoe? Or hauling our gold to Turkey and Dubai to open a jewelry shop? I thought the former president said he needs a job and that is why he is running? Now you want to save the people? You cant even save your party. Eastern corridor was constructed and asphalted on paper on your watch .your road minister was challenged to meet journalist on site he never showed up. Where is that money ? You see Kuffour left you a vibrant economy and you destroyed it. In two terms. That has been the biggest problem for Ghana in modern day. I cedi one dollar , petrol was 1.05 cedis per litre when you were vice president. Your tenure as leader has been such a painful pill for Ghana. If it was not for covid and Ukraine and again you underlining this government they were doing well. So please leave us and let us heal our soul in peace.
