John Dramani Mahama, the flagbearer of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), has expressed deep concern over the rising unemployment in Ghana.
He warned that if the issue is not addressed promptly, the consequences could be severe, citing the recent incident in Kenya where youths attacked the country’s Parliament due to economic hardship.
Mahama made these comments while speaking to residents in the Bono region as part of his campaign tour, emphasizing the need for swift action to mitigate the effects of unemployment.
The former President noted that the large number of unemployed graduates in the country poses a significant threat, which could become a burden if left unaddressed.
He urged the government to take immediate action to address the issue, drawing parallels with the Kenyan incident where youths took drastic measures due to economic hardship.
Mahama also expressed concern that politicians’ failure to be truthful to the people is eroding trust in democracy among the youth.
He criticized politicians who make unrealistic promises to gain power without considering the consequences of their actions or whether they can fulfill their promises.
Mahama assured that the NDC will campaign on truth and transparency, promising to administer the nation honestly and openly if elected.
He pledged to work hard for Ghanaians, be truthful to them always, and provide realistic solutions to the country’s problems.
Mahama expressed confidence that the NDC will emerge victorious in the polls, thanks to their commitment to truth and transparency.
