Some critics of Mahama\u2019s quest to return to power after he was voted out in 2016, including his biggest contender, Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia, have claimed that he has only four years to govern if he wins the upcoming election. They argue that four years is insufficient to make any mark or even redeem the country from the deep economic crisis that the NPP government has plunged the country\u2019s economy into. However, dispelling the claim, Mahama maintained that four years is more than enough to govern and make significant change, adding that what matters most is for a leader to be honest with the country and the citizenry and be committed to good governance practices and prudent management of the country\u2019s resources.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\u201cIt is about how well you serve. It is not about eight years or four years. It is about hard work. It is about truth. It is about trust, and it is about doing the things that will create a future for our young people,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0Mahama said.\u00a0\u201cThat’s why the NDC is calling on you to do your duty to your God and country so that we can turn this nation around.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
