Flagbearer of the People’s National Convention (PNC) Dr Edward Mahama has asked Ghanaians to give him a chance in the general elections to transform the country.
According to Dr. Mahama who is making a fifth attempt at the presidency, Ghanaians are fed up with unfulfilled promises by successive governments.
Speaking when he took his turn at IEA’s Encounter with Presidential Candidates Tuesday, Dr. Mahama said he has what it takes to turn around the fortunes of the country if he gets the nod in the November polls.
“Ghanaians are fed up with excuses, empty and unfulfilled promises, incompetence and lack of dynamic selfless visionary leadership, after all it is our destiny.
“Working together Ghana can rise again, let’s go for the PNC, we have a unique and inspiring proposition to transform the fortunes of this country.”
I will be responsible
Dr. Mahama who spoke on several issues from education, health, economy, unemployment and corruption stated that he will be responsible and abhor wrongdoing when elected as president.
“We have a system where those who loot are held in high esteem. A former Prime Minister of Latvia resigned when the roof of a Supermarket collapsed, killing 54 people. He said he took political and moral responsibility for the disaster.
“In Germany, Christian Wulff resigned from high office of President in 2009, put on trial for corruption because his friend was alleged to have paid for his hotel room and his food valued at 700 euros.
“In the United States of America, President Nixon stepped aside from high office of US President after the Watergate scandal. It is this kind of taking personal responsibility and abhorring wrongdoing that I am offering myself as President of Ghana,” Mahama explained.
