Mahama has inherited a difficult economy but will overcome – Haruna Iddrisu

Former Minority, Leader Haruna Iddrisu has acknowledged the significant economic challenges that President-elect John Dramani Mahama will face as he prepares to take office.

He emphasized that Mahama is inheriting an economy burdened by severe difficulties.

Despite these hurdles, the Tamale South MP expressed confidence in Mahama’s ability to navigate the difficulties and deliver for Ghanaians.

Speaking to journalists in Accra on Monday, December 9, Mr Iddrisu stated, “We cannot take the people for granted. Ghanaians have said, ‘If you fail us, we will reject you tomorrow.’ President Mahama has inherited a difficult economy, but I am confident he will weather the storm.”

Meanwhile, the President-elect has attributed the economic challenges to the outgoing Akufo-Addo administration, accusing it of leaving the nation in a dire financial state.

“This journey will not be easy. The outgoing government has plunged the nation into an abyss, but we are determined to implement governance reforms and steer Ghana back on track.”

Mahama called for unity and collective effort in overcoming the country’s challenges.

“We must never forget the people of Ghana. The one we serve is Mother Ghana, and together, we will rebuild.”
