God has delivered Ghanaians from hardships - Nana Yaa Jantuah

A former General Secretary of the Convention People's Party (CPP), Nana Yaa Jantuah, has expressed optimism about the National Democratic Congress (NDC) government's potential to lead Ghana into a brighter future.

Speaking on UTV on Wednesday, January 8, 2025, she reflected on the challenges faced during the eight-year tenure of the Akufo-Addo-led administration, describing it as a period of immense hardship for Ghanaians.

“I want to congratulate our first female vice president. This is a new dawn. Did you see the number of presidents who attended John Dramani Mahama's inauguration? What stood out was the personal relationship he has with all the dignitaries. Did you see how the guests cheered on the Head of State of Burkina Faso?" she noted.

She emphasised the significance of the oath of office, which she described as a solemn commitment to the Ghanaian people.

“The oath says you have to do well by Ghanaians, and if you don’t, you face the penalty. Isn’t it interesting? Ghanaians suffered under the NPP administration, and the constitutional penalty for failing the people was overlooked. The constitution clearly states that if the economic situation is dire, the president can be impeached.

“God has delivered Ghanaians. As Armah-Kofi Buah said, ‘The Egyptians we see today, we shall see them no more.’ The NPP kept us in Goshen for far too long, but the NDC has given us new hope. We are in a new era," she added.

She called on Ghanaians to embrace this period of renewal and work together to ensure progress under the NDC-led administration.

As Mahama begins his second term, his administration is set to tackle critical challenges, including youth unemployment, economic recovery, healthcare, and infrastructure development.
