Director of Communications of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Richard Ahiagbah, says the John Dramani Mahama administration does not have the requisite skills and expertise to manage the economy.
According to him, the NDC’s records over the past few years have proved the party will once again fail the Ghanaian people. He further advised Ghanaians against holding any high hopes of the Mahama government.
He described the NDC government as all talk with no work to show.
Speaking to Joy News while reacting to the State of the Nation Address delivered by President John Dramani Mahama on Thursday, February 27, he said “They are going to make the management of the economy about talking, we know them, they won’t do anything, they are just talking. His record shows he can’t manage the economy well.”
Also reacting to the SOAN, Minority Leader, Alexander Afenyo-Markin told President John Dramani Mahama to fix the challenges and stop the lamentations.
Afenyo-Markin notes that President Mahama’s 2025 State of the Nation Address delivered in Parliament on Thursday, February 27 was full of limitations.
“The president came to this house with the familiar story, the usual lamentations. He packaged it in a language as though we have a new beginning. Mr Speaker, if the president has any ci derns his duty is to fix it,” he said on the floor after President Mahama’s address.
President John Dramani Mahama said among other things that youth unemployment is the biggest challenge facing Ghana.
He notes that youth unemployment threatens national security. To that end, he said, he has set up the Ministry of Youth Development to address the concerns of youth unemployment.
He said “The youth unemployment has led to despair and frustration. This poses a major security risk to our country and requires urgent attention.”
