She stated that since Mahama had come into power, the prices of food had reduced, such as the price of staples like oil.

"The price of oil used to be GH¢1000 but it is now GH¢700. Go to Kumasi and check. Even the price of sugar, which should increase because of the ongoing Muslim fast, has reduced. We used to buy it at GH¢800 but now it is GH¢700.”

The woman described President John Dramani Mahama as a man of empathy who has the Ghanaian citizenry at heart.

“Our father John Mahama is empathetic and is working to control the rapid increase in prices of goods.”

She said the new Ghanaian President had done well considering that he had been in power for only two months.
