According to Gabby, it is a great decision and all Ghanaians should be assured that things will get better. Kofi Abotsi proceeded to ask him if he has regrets for blaming John Mahama for going to the IMF in 2015. Gabby noted that he has no regrets because the conditions in the country during the Mahama led NDC is different to Akufo-Addo\u2019s NPP.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/0be4a0ba2026467f93f3873e3011041f\"\/><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe situations are not the same. We have been soft on the NDC. We had a new source of revenue which was oil. The government lost grips of the economy. I don\u2019t think we are as bad as the NDC then. They had no Covid and war then. The problems were homegrown. How would Mahama and the NDC have handled this if they were in power? Gabby queried. According to Gabby, the situation of Ghana currently is not as bad as where the NDC in 2015 placed Ghana. <\/p>\n<p>Kindly use the link to watch<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/asaase99.5\/videos\/493006759266036\/<\/p>\n<p>Content created and supplied by: Still_Unbeatable (via  Opera<br \/>\nNews )<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<p class=\"copyright hide\">\n<span class=\"content\">    ,  .   ,     .
