John Dramani Mahama, the flagbearer of the oppositionNational Democratic Congress(NDC), has pledged to lead an administration that ensures every Ghanaian has access to food and basic necessities.
Speaking at the Sekondi Methodist Park during the 40th anniversary celebration of the Christian Faith Church International, he emphasized his vision of elevating the nation through focused economic development rooted in industrialization, aimed at fostering growth and shared prosperity.
“We will lift our people out of poverty and ensure that no Ghanaian goes to bed hungry,” he told a large crowd gathered at the Sekondi Methodist Park to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Christian Faith Church International.
Mahama envisions a Ghana where no citizen is marginalized, guaranteeing equal access to opportunities for all, especially children who should have access to quality education. He believes every family deserves the dignity of decent work and safe living conditions.
A key element of his campaign is the “24-hour economy model,” which he described as central to the NDC’s 2024 election manifesto. This model aims to empower the youth, boost productivity, and increase exports while reducing reliance on imports, ultimately helping to stabilize the currency.
Through initiatives like industrial growth, agricultural modernization, and support for small businesses, Mahama aims to rejuvenate the economy and create job opportunities.
He asserts that with the right leadership, Ghanaians can reclaim their sense of dignity and security in providing for their families, stating, “Our people deserve to smile again.”
To realize this vision, Mahama called for the collective effort of all Ghanaians and promised to offer responsible and accountable leadership that prioritizes transparency and accountability in governance.
