He has the experience and the vision to address the challenges we face now.&#8221;&#13;<\/p>\n<p>He further criticized the current NPP government, led by President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo and Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, for failing to address the economic hardships facing Ghanaians.&#13;<\/p>\n<p>He cited recent Afrobarometer findings indicating a decline in public trust in the government as evidence of widespread dissatisfaction. He also expressed concern over how living in Ghana has become hell for many people.&#13;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Ghanaian people are suffering,&#8221; Ankrah said. &#8220;They deserve better, and John Mahama is the leader who can deliver. We need a reset, and Mahama is the one to do it.&#8221;&#13;<\/p>\n<p>Ankrah&#8217;s comments come on the heels of Mahama&#8217;s fellowship with clergymen from diverse denominations, including Orthodox, Charismatic, and Pentecostal churches. The gathering at the KNUST Great Hall served as a platform for Mahama to share his vision for Ghana and to seek spiritual guidance and blessings from the clergy.&#13;<\/p>\n<p>While the event highlighted the significant role of religion in Ghanaian politics, Ankrah&#8217;s endorsement underscores the NDC&#8217;s efforts to mobilize support ahead of the upcoming elections. His message resonates with a growing sense of urgency among the party&#8217;s supporters, urging them to rally behind Mahama&#8217;s vision for a better Ghana.&#13;<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, thousands of clergymen who attended the fellowship prayed to request good health, wisdom, etc, for the former president. A platform was given for most of them to ask questions and contribute during the session.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>Source: <\/strong>Nana Peprah, Contributor<\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 20 updated by: -1 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former Minister of Sports, Elvis Afriyie Ankrah Wed, 13 Nov 2024 Source: Nana Peprah, Contributor Former Minister of Sports Elvis Afriyie Ankrah has expressed his confidence in John Dramani Mahama&#8217;s bid for the presidency following the NDC flagbearer&#8217;s recent fellowship with clergymen in Kumasi. &#13; The former minister, speaking to the media after the well-attended [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":249914,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-249915","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-top-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.8 -
