Former Minister for Finance and Economic Planning, Dr. Kwabena Duffuor, has lauded John Dramani Mahama, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Presidential Candidate, as the best choice to lead Ghana into the future.
Dr. Duffuor commended Mahama’s exceptional leadership abilities and remarkable track record, emphasizing his readiness to tackle the nation’s challenges.
He expressed confidence in Mahama’s capability to restore an economy he believes has been mismanaged under the New Patriotic Party (NPP) administration.
“Bawumia was a young man under me as a governor. Former President Mahama was the Vice President when I was Finance Minister. One has become president, and the other has not. 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,” Dr. Duffuor remarked during an interview on Kumasi-based Ultimate FM.
He further argued that statistical evidence highlights the NDC’s stronger performance in critical areas such as economic growth and inflation compared to the NPP.
“I will give you all the figures. From economic growth to inflation, we [the NDC government] have performed better. We understand the issues better. One of my principles has been to think carefully about the economy and determine how to improve it.
“How do we do this to save society? I have a think tank; we’ve been working on these issues for years. The NDC has the experience and expertise to turn the economy around, and it’s been done before. The records speak for themselves,” he stated.
