A flagbearer hopeful of opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Mahama has asked President Nana Akufo-Addo to take responsibility for the current economic hardship. According to him, had the President listened to his early cautions, the country would not be in the current economic turmoil it finds itself. 

The former president thus criticised the Akufo-Addo-Bawumia administration for the hardship Ghanaians are experiencing now.  Mr John Mahama has thus urged the government to accept responsibility for the situation. “What is making it difficult for them to govern is that they are not people who listen to advice. “They never accept their mistakes, so they are not able to learn from their mistakes.

Notwithstanding the poor state of Ghana’s economy, still they are not accepting responsibility.” He made these comments as part of his three-day ‘Building Ghana we want together’ campaign tour of the twenty-three constituencies in the Central Region. Ghana is currently before the Bretton Woods Institution for a $3 billion bailout.  As a result, government has renegotiated its domestic debt and is on course with foreign partners as well.
