Presidential Candidate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama, has blamed President Akufo-Addo and Vice President Dr Mahamdu Bawumia for Ghana’s economy being classified as one of the worst-performing in the world.
In a post on Facebook he said, “This Akufo-Addo and Bawumia government has allowed our economy to be classified among the worst-performing in the world. Together, we must RESET Ghana. Vote for change on December 7th.”
John Mahama urged Ghanaians to vote for him, promising to rebuild the economy.
His remarks come as President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo highlighted signs of economic recovery on Wednesday, 20th November 2024, while commissioning The Bank Square in Accra.
President Akufo-Addo noted that recent data from the Bank of Ghana indicates the economy is firmly on the path to recovery.
He cited provisional GDP growth of 6.9% in the second quarter of 2024, with a strong non-oil growth rate of 7.0%, reflecting the resilience of the agriculture, industry, and services sectors.
“This milestone is a testament to the Bank of Ghana’s commitment to sound monetary policies under the leadership of Governor Ernest Addison and his dedicated team. I applaud their efforts, as well as the creativity and expertise of the architects, engineers, and contractors especially GoldKey Properties, a wholly Ghanaian entity that brought this vision to life. Together, we are building a foundation for a resilient economy, inclusive growth, and a brighter future for all Ghanaians.”
“As we celebrate this achievement, I call on all of us to continue working together to build an economy that is stable, inclusive, and prosperous. The Bank Square is not just a symbol of what we have accomplished; it is an inspiration for what lies ahead. Let us remain united in our efforts to make Ghana great and strong!” he said.
