Former President John Mahama has slammed President Nana Akufo Addo for always blaming other people for country’s current economic crisis.
Mahama said Nana Addo has never acknowledged responsibility for woes experienced in the country.
Mahama was speaking to branch and constituency executives of the NDC in the Awutu Senya East and West Constituencies yesterday on Tuesday when he said this;
When you listen to them, they say it is not their fault. Are they saying it is the fault of Ghanaians? Who went for all those loans? It was them. Yet whenever you tune in to the news, they say it was Covid-19 that caused our problems. They say it was Russian-Ukraine that caused them.
When the President went to Parliament to deliver the State of the Nation Address, I thought he would accept responsibility the way I did when we had an energy crisis in this country. I did not cause it, it was caused by a lack of addition to our power generation for many years. So, it got to a time, our demand had exceeded our ability to generate power.
I went to Parliament, I did not say I did not cause it. I said you elected me to take responsibility, so I take responsibility for it, and I will fix it. That is what leadership is about. This is a President who cannot take responsibility and if you can’t take responsibility, you can’t fix anything.
