Accra, Ghana – In a passionate and candid address to the nation, President-elect John Mahama has vowed to rescue Ghana from the depths of economic and social crisis, which he described as an “abyss”.

“We stand at the edge of an abyss, staring into the depths of economic despair, social inequality, and environmental degradation,” Mahama said. “But I say to you, my fellow Ghanaians, that we will not be intimidated by the magnitude of these challenges. We will confront them head-on, with courage, determination, and a commitment to the values of justice, equality, and freedom.

“Mahama outlined his vision for a new Ghana, built on the principles of inclusive growth, social justice, and environmental sustainability. He promised to tackle the country’s economic woes, create jobs, improve healthcare and education, and restore the nation’s infrastructure.
