Referring to the biblical story of "Moses, Pharaoh, and the 10 plagues," Mahama argued that the economic turmoil under President Akufo-Addo's administration was "God's own way of vindicating his previous administration and teaching Ghanaians a lesson." "God allowed us to go through these past eight years as a trial phase to teach us a lesson, so that next time we won't be swayed by false promises during the campaign season.
This year, Ghanaians must be smarter in casting their votes," he stated.
Speaking during a community engagement in Ababokrom in the Bia East constituency as part of his campaign in the Western Region, Mahama criticised the Akufo-Addo administration as an absolute failure, despite increasing the public debt to over 760 billion cedis.
He observed that "the NPP campaigned on the basis that the NDC had mismanaged the economy and promised to do better, but all they have done is worse.
