Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin, has described Ghana as being in a state of crisis but noted that President John Dramani Mahama’s State of the Nation Address (SONA) has instilled a sense of renewed hope. On Thursday, February 27, President Mahama delivered his first SONA in Parliament, where he pledged to revitalize the country’s struggling economy. Following the address, Bagbin took to Facebook to express his concerns about the nation’s current situation while recognizing the president’s commitment to tackling these challenges.
“Clearly, our country is not in good shape. The decay is massive. Ghana, an African icon, is at our lowest point,” Bagbin stated, underscoring the severity of the situation. However, Bagbin found hope in President Mahama’s address, describing it as rejuvenating. “But the address of President John Dramani Mahama is rejuvenating. It’s stimulating confidence about quick recovery, resetting, and restoration to a more rewarding investment climate and social justice,” he remarked. As a passionate advocate for persons with disabilities, Bagbin expressed particular happiness about the government’s bold move to make tertiary education free for individuals considered disabled.
