Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, Member of Parliament for Ofoase Ayirebi, has urged Ghanaians to be cautious about President John Dramani Mahama’s economic promises, referencing his past difficulties in resolving the country’s power crisis (dumsor).
His remarks come in response to President Mahama’s State of the Nation Address (SONA) on Thursday, February 27, 2025, where the president assured Ghanaians of his commitment to restoring economic stability and driving national growth.
“I, John Dramani Mahama, will fix the economic crisis confronting our country and reset it on a path of growth and prosperity,” Mahama declared during his address.
However, speaking on Eyewitness News, Oppong Nkrumah, a former Minister for Information, cast doubt on Mahama’s ability to deliver on these commitments, citing his administration’s handling of economic and energy sector challenges in the past.
“Every Ghanaian knows that in 2016, there was dumsor, despite the fact that he said in January 2016 that he would fix dumsor, there was still dumsor.
If President Mahama today tells us that just like he fixed dumsor, he would fix the economy, when every Ghanaian knows that in 2016 there was dumsor, then every Ghanaian can extrapolate that all the promises that you have just outlined—the promises of July 2024, which he repeated today as something he will live by—then it suggests to us that we are in for a very difficult time,” he argued.
