National Democratic Congress (NDC) parliamentary candidate for Ketu North Constituency, Edem Agbana, has praised former President John Dramani Mahama as "the fixer" capable of steering Ghana through its current economic and governance crises.

Edem Agbana expressed confidence in Mahama's ability to restore stability and growth to the country.

Speaking at a youth town hall meeting at Ho Technical University on Thursday, August 15, Agbana highlighted Mahama's extensive experience and vision, emphasizing his track record in infrastructure development, social programs, and good governance during his previous tenure as president.

He described Mahama as the ideal candidate to lead Ghana once again.

"Ghanaians will go out on December 7 and vote for the fixer," Agbana declared.

"Young people will vote for the leader who will introduce the National Apprenticeship Programme and cancel the 10% betting tax."

He stressed that Mahama's leadership offers hope to the youth, particularly through programs aimed at skill acquisition and economic empowerment.

Mr Agbana’s comments come at a time when Ghana faces severe economic challenges, including rising inflation, high unemployment, and a weakening currency.

He pointed to Mahama's handling of the energy crisis (dumsor) during his presidency as evidence of his ability to manage crises and make tough decisions when needed.

Mahama's forward-looking policies, according to Mr Agbana, include investment in education, healthcare, and infrastructure, along with a strong focus on job creation and youth empowerment.

Mr Agbana believes these initiatives will not only address the nation's immediate difficulties but also lay the groundwork for sustainable long-term development.
