Flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress John Dramani Mahama has assured that his next government will repair the mess created by the Nana Addo/Bawumia-led administration.

According to a report by citinewsroom.com, the former president assured his next administration would implement good policies and create opportunities for the youth to turn the economy's fortunes around.

Speaking during a working visit to the La Dadekotopon constituency on July 5, 2024, John Mahama while criticising the mess created by the current administration, cautioned of a possible repeat of the Kenyan youth protest in Ghana.

“They say Africa’s population is youthful and it’s important to have a youthful population. But if you have a youthful population and you’re not creating opportunities for them, then it can become a timebomb.

“We have all seen what is happening in Kenya, we don’t want that to happen in Ghana and so, when we come, things are going to be different. It’s not going to be business as usual; we want to be a government in a hurry to repair the mess created by Bawumia and Akufo-Addo."

He added “The people of Ghana are looking at NDC to come and rescue them from the hardships in which they have been plunged…We will do things that will turn the economy around as quickly as possible.”
