Former President John Dramani Mahama has said the previous administration under his watch, left behind a stable economy.
His assertions are in sharp contrast to claims by the current President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo that, the Mahama-led administration left behind an unstable economy.
President Akufo-Addo recently stated that unlike former President John Agyekum Kufour who left the country with a lot more resources which empowered his successor John Atta Mills to embark on many developmental projects for the country, same cannot be said of the John Mahama-led government as his [Akufo-Addo]-led administration did not inherit a stable economy.
President Akufo-Addo, as far back as his first State of the Nation address, lamented that his administration did not inherit a stable economy from the erstwhile Mahama-led government, which missed all the targets set for the country under the International Monetary Fund (IMF) programme due to fiscal indiscipline in the management of public funds.
However, former President Mahama, who posted on his Facebook page in remembering the 2016 elections said ‘’as we have demonstrated in the period following the elections and a year after the polls, we are a party that believes and has demonstrably exhibited our strong commitment to strengthening our country’s democratic credentials and building a peaceful and stable economy.
He also used the opportunity to commend party executives, sympathisers and noted although it was their desire to win, they could not.
“One year on after the December 7, 2016 elections, I salute all our executives, supporters and sympathisers of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), who worked tirelessly during the polls to achieve success for the party.
“While the outcome was not what we desired, let us thank the Almighty God for his bountiful blessings as we are enjoined to do in all circumstances.
“Let’s continue to use the opportunity we are presented with, to work hard and diligently towards the reorganisation of our party as we prepare for the next elections in 2020.
“I am convinced beyond any doubt, that our party, the NDC, remains the most citizen-friendly and development-oriented political party in Ghana and we must continue to work in the interest of the Ghanaians,” former President Mahama stressed.

This guy shuda been in jail by now! Repent, Your ameri alone is enough for any serious country to send you and Ibrahim to prison. Sambiich
Mahama is definitely right. We hear all kinds of numbers and figures quoted out there to mean the economy is doing fine but lets all be honest, How do we experience this so called stable economy?? They say they will pay the fees of our children who went to form one this year in SHS and is that what is suddenly making Ghana economically stable?? All construction work is stopped!! The duties at the harbor is increased by 30% the price of Energy is gone high and the exchange rate is going out the roof and people still dream and spew gar-bage as if everything is going fine??? Noooo!!!! Mahama's time was far better than now. I bet you.
That's why this man is out of office. He doesn't know what is a stable economy. Why won't he just get out of our face? We are fed up with him. If Mahama wants to be respected, he should quit politics. These rantings of his makes him look small.
Be serious Mahama. Be very serious. We all know what you and your cronies did. Don’t insult us any further. Your own party members in ndc attested to your irresponsible ***barred word*** and sharing the booties. You made sure to deplete any money left before you handed over. God will judge all of us wai. It has to be said, you’re very irresponsible.
Isn't he the one who described the economy as bones after he said that he and his cohorts have eaten all the flesh off the economy
Don't you love Ghana? the freedom of speech is thick.
Then perhaps you were not in Ghana.
