President John Dramani Mahama is Ghana’s president
President John Dramani Mahama has reiterated his commitment and dedication to addressing the challenges confronting the economy and the nation as a whole.
While addressing Parliament during his maiden State of the Nation Address (SONA) in his second term as president, on Thursday, February 27, 2025, President John Dramani Mahama emphasised that he is not a leader who complains or shifts blame onto his predecessors when confronted with challenges facing the country.
Instead, he shared insights into his leadership approach, highlighting how he commits to working tirelessly and putting forth his maximum effort to resolve the issues at hand.
He further emphasised that this commitment was the reason for his resounding victory in the 2024 Election, with Ghanaians entrusting him with the mandate to address the country’s challenges.
“It is not my style to lament and shift blame when confronted with challenges. My approach is to accept challenges and work hard to resolve them and indeed, this is precisely what the people of Ghana elected me to do.
“I have not come here to lament on the state of the country even though there is much to lament about. I understand why I was elected with such high voter confidence and that is to solve Ghana’s problems,” he said.
