President John Dramani Mahama has vowed to fix the country’s economic crisis.
Delivering his State of the Nation Address, President Mahama claimed he had fixed the intermittent power outages before leaving office in 2017 in fulfilment of his pledge and will do so with regards to his vow to resolved the economic crisis.
“Yesterday, February 26, 2025 marks exactly 10 years since I stood in this chamber at this very spot to declare my determination to fix dumsor, a legacy problem of power shortages and I fixed it. And I wished to place firmly on record that from January 2016 until I handed over the administration of this country on January 7, 2017, there was no power rationing or load management in Ghana,” he stated.
“I’m propelled by the massive mandate given to me by the good people of Ghana, I am moved to make a similar purposely and bold declaration that I John Dramani Mahama will fix the economic crisis confronting our country and reset it on the path of growth and prosperity.”
The President painted a gloomy picture of the state affairs of the country.
But before painting this ugly picture of the state of affairs, he said although there was a lot to lament about, it isn’t his style to wail and shift blame when faced with crisis but he rather assumes responsibility to address such issues.
“It is not my style to lament and shifts blame when confronted with challenges. My approach is to accept challenges and work hard to resolve them.”
He is, therefore, pledged to resolve the crisis, stating that he was elected purposely to find solutions to the many challenges confronting the development of the country.
