Former President John Dramani Mahama has admitted that under his governance in 2016, some Ghanaians were subjected to immense suffering.

However, according to the NDC presidential aspirant, what was experienced in the past seven years can in no way be compared to the hardship currently being experienced under the Akufo-Addo-led administration.

According to him, the economic challenges have worsened and the standard of living has significantly dropped.

Addressing party faithful in the Upper West Region, Mr Mahama said “In 2016 all the lies they told and all the propaganda they told, Ghanaians can now see. All the preaching that we were sitting on money and yet we are hungry and the claims that Ghanaians were suffering, Ghanaians are now suffering more than they were in 2016.

“Any work that anyone does, you hardly get profit. I can beat my chest and say in 2016 our lives were far better than we are today,” Mr Mahama added.

Mr Mahama hopes to return to his previous position as president come 2025 after the 2024 general elections.
