President John Dramani Mahama says he has made some mistakes in his administration but those mistakes were done in ‘good faith’.
“In the period that I’ve been a president, I’ve been a mere mortal; may have made mistakes but I believe that in every mistake I’ve made, I’ve done it out of good faith to serve my nation and every decision I’ve taken have been in the national interest,” he said.
President Mahama made these remarks on Wednesday when he took his turn at the Presidential Encounter organised by the Ghana Broadcasting Corporation (GBC).
President Mahama has also described his four year term as a ‘very challenging’ one; adding there are brighter days ahead.
According to him, the biggest challenge during his four year term was the issue of unemployment.
“The critical challenge that faces every leader today is the issue of creating jobs for young people…we’ve had to make many very challenging decision points and I believe that those decision points have been made in the interest of national progress and development…you suffer to gain…you don’t get any good thing without striving for it. We are going to take Ghana to the next level”
Heavy lifting over
President Mahama also assured that his next term will be rosy since all the sacrifices and hard work was done in his first term.
“The heavy lifting has been done. Over the last four years we’ve done the heavy lifting. We’ve been involved in building the foundation. These four years have been foundation laying…and I believe that in my second term, there is not much heavy lifting to be done. We’ve done the structural reforms that is needed to make the economy come back to the path of growth…I want to thank Ghanaians for the opportunity to serve. I believe that I have served with dedication, it’s been tough going forward but we have been through this together and I believe that we are on the cusp of brighter days ahead.”

look at him Mr President. Rawlings said in 1996 he has turn the economy round and deserved 2nd term. yet absolutely nothing but he did not make. Kuffour asked for positive face chapter two because he laid good foundation in the first term, we all saw how he ended up with awarding himself with gold chain but marginal robust economy left behind Atta Mills/ John Mahama eight years in dumsor, dumsor with total hardship with corruption asking and begging for 2nd term to finish. They all the same.none of them has the nations at heart. With NANA message of I believed in Ghana thing that can make some positive impact in the lives of Ghana economic history. Nana is a season politician who understand the game geopolitics. the perfect best bet on Nana is his combination with Dr. Bawumia one the best economist in Africa. They have a secret economic transformation plan for Mother Ghana. let give NANA ADDO/BAWUMIA THE CHANCE
hahahahaha. finally the man has accepted that he is incompetent. Dr Bawumia was right. mahama is incompetent. u have over 25million life in ur hands and a mere mistake can send all of us to where we dont belong. u can not make a mere mistake in that kind of position. u have to be absolutely sure of what you are doing be4 you do it. every decision u have taken has never been in the national interest rather in ur private interest. u are soo selfish that u think only abt urself, ur family, and ur gang. ur time is up my friend. time is up. change is coming

All I am interested in is the first part of the sentence of the heading:'I have made mistakes'. Now finally, the president has admitted he's incompetent. How can a president we've voted for make mistakes? You want us to vote for you again so you continue making mistakes. Start packing your bag and baggage because Nana is our next president come January 7, 2017.
My colleagues have said it all. Is so pathetic that Africans are so greedy and deliberately fail to recognize the pain of others. This is not a mistake you have made, I think your failure is as a result of incompetency and selfishness. Is good you realized that you failed. Better step down! is the best option for you.
You think Ghanaians don't think far? In 2012 you deceived us that the foundation was built by Prof. Mills and you were ready to take off. After four (40 years you have come back to say the same thing you said in 2012 'You used 8 yrs to build foundation?'. CHANGE IS COMING!
Indeed politics is a dirty game. When you speak the truth you are insulted. Those of you insulting the man on the platform only want to be told a liar as your ears will please you. Any normal human being makes mistake., if you have made a mistake it means you have not tried a new thing your life. Face the reality of life and stop insulting people you cannot compare yourselves to, besides the insults does not win votes. Thanks for reading.
Why Now?
WHY HAS UNEMPLOYMENT BEEN YOUR BIGGEST PROBLEM. THE REASON THERE IS UNEMPLOYMENT IS BECAUSE THE JOBS ARE THERE BUT THERE ARE NO EMPLOYABLE HANDS. DO YOU LISTEN TO YOURSELF WHEN YOU TALK, MR PRESIDENT? SO WHAT DID YOU LEARN TO GIVE YOU SKILLS TO WORK BEFORE YOU BECAME THE PRESIDENT? PLEASE GO BACK TO THE EDUCATION SYSTEM AND ESPECIALLY THE NUMBER OF YEARS SPENT IN SCHOOL. THE ORATORY THAT HOLDS LITTLE MEANING WON'T HELP ANY BODY. BY THE WAY, DURING THE TENURE OF PROF MILLS (MAY HIS SOUL REST IN PEACE), WHAT WAS THE GOVERNMENT DOING. YOU AND YOUR PEOPLE APPEAR TO CLANDESTINELY AND BY PROPAGANDA MAKE THAT PERIOD NON-EXISTENT.
