After President John Dramani Mahama’s State of the Nation Address (SONA), Majority Leader Mahama Ayariga has voiced optimism for the future.
Speaking following the president’s speech, which was his first during his second term, Ayariga underscored the hope President Mahama’s speech has sparked while acknowledging the nation’s economic challenges.
“Mr. Speaker, what has happened to our economy and our country, and the presentation that has been made, says it all. It is sad. It is unfortunate, but His Excellency the President has brought us hope,” Ayariga stated.
He pointed out that a number of groups, including women, Okada riders, the private sector, students, and regular Ghanaians, found resonance in President Mahama’s speech. He claims that the resounding endorsement of Mahama’s leadership is evidence of the public’s faith in his agenda.
“Mr. Speaker, we have no doubt that everything outlined here gives hope, and this house will support His Excellency to deliver on his commitment,” he affirmed.
Ayariga further underscored the need for accountability, stressing that those responsible for the country’s economic challenges must be held to account.
“More importantly, this house will support His Excellency to deliver on the promise of accountability. Those who so damage our economy must be held accountable,” he declared.
