Former President John Dramani Mahama has said the failure of the Akufo-Addo-led government does not offer him any kind of pleasure.

At the launch of his presidential campaign at Ho in the Volta Region on Thursday, he noted that "I'm not the kind of leader who derives pleasure from or can smile at my country's failing, even the failing of my political opponent."

According to the former statesman, there are many who have said his statement that posterity will be the judge of time has been realised as the country has been plundered to a state of crisis.

He noted that even in "the face of the abysmal performance of the NPP government, and their harrowing dismantling of our country's prospect," he will be a wise man who learns from the mistakes of others.

"As far as I am concerned, there is no vindication from the suffering of the Ghanaian people," he added.
