The Flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama, has compared himself to a “retired army general” returning to duty as he seeks reelection in the upcoming general elections.
Speaking to district and municipal Imams in the Ashanti Region on Monday, December 2, 2024, as part of a six-day campaign tour, Mahama addressed the nation’s challenges, pledging to steer Ghana out of what he termed a period of economic mismanagement and governance failures.
He assured the Imams that his administration would prioritize sound policies to restore stability and improve the lives of Ghanaians.
“If we go to war, and we encounter difficulties, we go back to call the retired general to come back and lead us. This is a clear illustration of myself because I am a retired general and I went to rest, but it is time to come back for we are in a difficult period, so my party has nominated me to lead the party. I know that many of you pray for us and give us guidelines to follow. I thank every one of you for your prayers”.
Additionally, he has pledged the Islamic community to enact a law that recognizes and legitimizes Islamic marriage within the constitution.
“There are a lot of things that we intend to do, Chief Imam has said that a law that legitimizes Islamic marriage must be enacted, so we have decided to do that.”
