Former Minister for Finance and Economic Planning, Dr. Kwabena Duffuor, has praised John Dramani Mahama, the Presidential Candidate for the National Democratic Congress (NDC), as the ideal leader for Ghana’s future.
According to Dr. Duffuor, Mahama possesses exceptional leadership qualities and an impressive track record that positions him as the best candidate to address the nation’s challenges.
He highlighted Mahama’s potential to revitalize an economy that, he claims, has suffered under the governance of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
“Bawumia was a young man under me as a governor. Former president Mahama was the vice president when I was the finance minister. One has become president, and the other one has not become president. I am saying that the one who became president has a superior economic record; haven’t I told you that?
“So, what else do you want me to say? That’s why we are resetting. A superior economic record has been destroyed by the NPP. So, there’s a need to reset,” he said in an interview on Kumasi-based Ultimate FM with Julius Ceasar Anadem.
He pointed out that statistical evidence demonstrates the NDC’s superior performance compared to the NPP regarding economic growth, inflation rates, and other critical economic metrics
“I will give you all the figures. From economic growth to inflation, we [the NDC government] have performed better. We understand the issues better. And one of my principles has been to think through the economy carefully and think through how we can improve upon the economy.
“How do we do this to save society? I have a think tank; we have been doing this for years. So, the NDC has the experience and skills to turn the economy around, and it’s been done before. So the records are there.”
