Former President John Dramani Mahama has said he thanked God that the National Democratic Congress (NDC) did not win the 2020 general elections, an election in which he was the presidential candidate for the main opposition party.
If the NDC had won, he said, they would have been the ones faced with the present economic situation that has led to haircuts and the country also going to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) for a bailout.
During his thanksgiving ceremony at the Ringway Gospel Centre Assemblies of God on Sunday, May 21 following his victory in last week’s presidential primaries of the NDC to contest as presidential candidate for the NDC in 2024 elections, he said “In 2020 again, we went for the elections and we lost.
“Again we came here after the Supreme Court case and we gave thanks to God for his mercy and in protecting us.
“As I said our ways are not his ways but on hindsight when I think about it we owe him a debt of gratitude that we didn’t win in 2020, we would have been giving these haircuts and all these IMF wahala.
“[God]said, this is not the time my children, you stand aside and we know that he will make things well in his own time.”
