Mahama is coming back because Akufo-Addo has failed – Ayariga

President Nana Akufo-Addo’s failure in office is what has made it possible for former President John Dramani Mahama to seek a comeback, the founder of the All People’s Congress, Hassan Ayariga, has said.

He told Kwame Dwomoh-Agyemang in an interview on the Class Morning Show on Friday, April 26, 2024, that Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo had wasted the hope Ghanaians had in him before he was given the mandate.

“People gave him so much hope, and when we were saying that he would not be the best candidate, Ghanaians didn’t believe us and gave President Nana Akufo-Addo the mandate," he said.

“Eight years down the lane, where are we as a country? Can we say that President Akufo-Addo has performed better than the former president? The answer is still no, even though I’m not supporting the former president," Ayariga added.

In Hassan Ayariga’s view, Mahama has found it necessary to contest in the 2024 general elections because Akufo-Addo has been abysmal in handling the country.

In terms of inflation, the strength of the Cedi, and other economic indicators, Ayariga said Akufo-Addo’s government cannot match the performance of John Dramani Mahama.
