He did not mince words, suggesting that Akufo-Addo had seemingly abandoned his responsibilities of running the nation effectively and improving the lives of Ghanaians.

"We have a President who has run out of ideas on how to solve the economic challenges we find ourselves in," Mahama jabbed.

The former president's address underscored his concerns regarding the administration's perceived lack of innovative solutions to tackle the country's economic challenges.

Mahama contended that the president had, in effect, shifted his focus towards ensuring the success of his chosen successor as the nation's next president. This, he argued, had left Akufo-Addo ill-equipped to deal with the pressing economic issues facing the nation.

Mahama's passionate lament also extended to the hardships that have befallen many Ghanaians, with a growing number unable to afford the basic necessity of three square meals a day.

During the announcement of Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia as the NPP presidential candidate, Akufo-Addo pledged to invest all his energy and resources into securing Bawumia's victory.

Akufo-Addo used the occasion to rally his party members, urging them not to allow the leadership of John Dramani Mahama and the NDC to return to power for a second term.

He passionately stated that Ghana could ill afford the resurgence of the NDC, particularly under the leadership of John Dramani Mahama.

The president's speech conveyed his unwavering confidence in Dr Bawumia's capacity to unify the party and lead it to triumph in the upcoming election.
