The flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama says Ghana can again be the ‘star’ of Africa with the right person a president.
In a statement to mark the country's 67th Independence Day, the former president suggested that the current government has failed the country.
“Our nation deserves quality leadership, better governance and accountability and a strong economy that creates opportunities for all, not just a few,” he stated.
Adding that, “As we commemorate the 67th anniversary of our independence and the freedom that binds us together, I invite you to acknowledge the struggles that have shaped our lives and our dear country, Ghana.”
“We must make progress and build a better society for ourselves. We must hold on to hope, determination, and a collective will to overcome and build the Ghana we want for ourselves and future generations.
“With the right leadership, we shall turn our fortunes around and put Ghana back on track as the Black Star of Africa, as envisioned by those who sacrificed their lives to give us this precious gift of freedom."
