I’ll build equal society – Mahama promises

2024 flagbearer of  the largest opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) party,   John Dramani Mahama has promised to build an equal society if Ghanaians give him another opportunity to lead the country.

Mr Mahama who was not happy with President Akufo-Addo for  neglecting   all the crucial projects initiated during his administration reiterated  NDC’s commitment  to equitable resource allocation,  saying the party would ensure  the fair distribution of national resources across all regions if reinstated to power in 2024.

The former Ghanaian leader made these observations  during an address to party loyalists following a 24-hour economy walk in Kwahu, a key event in the party’s festive season activities.

Mr Mahama criticised the NPP for failing to continue projects initiated during the NDC regime, leading to their abandonment and decay.

He emphasized that the NDC was  not a party that discriminates.

He said, “I am very sad. The Abetifi Hospital that we were building that was about 70%, you will be sad if you see it today, you will cry. The NPP government has been wicked towards Ghanaians.”

Mr Mahama  also reiterated his commitment to prioritizing the needs of the youth if elected into office.

He also proposed splitting the Youth and Sports ministry to create a separate Youth Development Ministry.

This move, according to him, would emphasise the importance of youth participation and generate employment opportunities for them, playing a crucial role in his 24-hour economic initiative.

Mahama expressed concern about the current ministry’s focus on sports, neglecting the youth for whom the ministry was created.
