The Flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Mahama, recently addressed the youth and stated that if he is elected, he intends to work towards restoring the reputation of Ghana, which he believes has fallen.
In his opinion, Ghana, which is known as the Black Star of Africa, has lost its shine. Mahama, the former President, expressed these views during his visit to the Sanctuary of Wind and Fire Assemblies of God Church in Tamale, where he celebrated the New Year.
“We are supposed to be the Black Star of Africa, but today, that has fallen to the ground. However, I assure you that it will rise again,” he emphasized.
The former President added, “As long as some of us remain in politics, we will give our all and work hard.” He further assured, “We will make sure that we leave the country in a better place than where we met it.
I have children like you, and I must do my best so that my children have a future.”
Due to the present economic difficulty, many, especially the youth continue to lose hope in the country.
To many, there is a possibility of apathy in the upcoming election.
Mr. Mahama is urging the youth to exercise their constitutional rights and help restore hope in the country.
“I beg you to cast your vote, never give up on your country. God is never finished with Ghana yet,” he added.
The former President used the journey of the Israelites into Egypt to explain how God sometimes use trials and tribulations not only as a test but as a learning platform for believers.
