Former President John Dramani Mahama says Ghana under the leadership of President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo and the New Patriotic Party (NPP) will collapse if Ghanaians again vote the NPP into power.
He expressed shock and described as ‘shameful’ how Ghana’s economy has become in recent times – but said if, given the chance to rule again, things will change.
Mr Mahama, however, tagged himself as a ‘tactician coach’ who is ever ready to make the necessary changes to ensure that Ghana regains its promising economy.
“The state of our nation is dire and crisis-ridden but in the last few weeks happenings in the football arena have taught us what can happen if we change course and do the right things. This lesson came in the shape of our gallant Black Stars who secured qualification to the 2022 World Cup by defeating a much fancied and vaunted rival.”
“Dismissed, vilified, and disparaged after their poor showing at the 2021 AFCON in Cameroon, the management of the team affected badly needed changes, which provided a new sense of purpose and direction, the culmination of which is the qualification to the Qatar World Cup in 2022.”
“Today, that qualification has provided a glimmer of hope on a very gloomy national horizon. Congratulations once again Gallant Black Stars! My prayers and support will always be with you.”
“The Black Stars journey to the Qatar 2022 World Cup Finals provides useful lessons on which we can model responses to the socio-economic disaster of today. If a team written off by pundits can reinvent itself, work together under the right leadership, and attain international glory; then the answers to our present woes are not far-fetched, they are within us to achieve.”
“If we work hard at it together – under exemplary and selfless leadership willing to make the right choices and the right calls – we will emerge out of this current crisis better and more united as a nation.” Mr Mahama said at a lecture dubbed Ghana at a crossroad on Monday, May 2, 2022.
To him, Ghana can only ‘crash’ if its citizens display the ‘I don’t charisma attitude toward national developments.
“Failure is not an option. We have in our hands, an opportunity to act and do so quickly – at this crossroads – to return hope to our motherland.” He reiterated

I simply say, in response to Mahama touting himself as a couch, to wit, in Akan: '' kwatrekwa se wobema wo ntoma aya tea ne dine''
Ok, so if we use the same football analogy, the Blackstars went back for Milovan Rajavec (Milo) and that "sankofa" appointment ended up as a disaster, such that he had to be sacked. We needed a new technical team to qualify the team for the world cup. Mind you, in Milo's case his previous handling of the Blackstars got them to within a whisker of a record world cup semi final for an African team in 2010. With such a proud achievement in his favour, a reappointment did not raise any red flags! So bottom line, even if we agree that Ghana's economy requires a saviour, she will be ill-advised to go back to the same leader who by 2016, had taken the economy to IMF and supervised over the worst economic decline. Move over Mahama, you had your opportunity and blew it... and unlike Milo, there are several red flags against your reappointment. Not all of us have short memories.
Chief, we have seen your show before. Don't come and bawumia yourself here. You think well thinking Ghanaians will believe you. You guys dine together so don't bring yourself
Concert man... Go and tell this to IMF they will whip you paaaaaaa. You are a big joke.

Hahahaaaa, the Ghana black stars have not won the African nations trophy since 1982. If you can coach them to win the trophy for Ghana then you can coach Ghana out of it's current predicament. John Mahama paaaaa, were you not the coach that sent Ghana to the IMF? You were the very coach that kept us in darkness for 3 years, the coach that payed new entrants on payroll only 3 months salary irrespective of the number of months they have worked, the coach that said the meat was gone leaving only the bones, the coach that awarded projects that were not budgeted for. From Mallam John to Coach John. Bawumia is coming, Hahahaaaa
Trust me Mahama is a joker. a coach to do what? HECK! what did you do as a president? 3nye ***barred word*** u were chasing around. ***barred word***!
Ghana is hard but you have not given up your tall list of benefits as former president you wickedly made the committee to recommend. Upon all these benefits as former president, you still want to be president again to milk as more.
Errrrh, Mahama, stop fooling!
