Chairperson of the USA Chapter of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Dr Maame Aba Dadzie, says Ghana’s image on the global stage has significantly improved, shifting from a “crisis economy” to one “in recovery” — crediting this to the leadership of President John Dramani Mahama.

Speaking at the NDC-USA annual conference and victory celebration, Dr Maame Aba Dadzie lauded the administration’s early achievements in economic recovery, describing them as a result of pragmatic governance and inclusive leadership.

“The global perception of Ghana has shifted — from a crisis economy to recovery in progress. This is no coincidence. This is the Mahama doctrine of inclusion, pragmatic leadership, and good governance at work,” she stated.

She noted that within the first half of the administration’s first year, Ghana’s economy has rebounded from one of the worst-performing globally to one showing strong signs of stability and growth.

Dr Maame Aba Dadzie also highlighted the strengthening of the Ghana cedi against major international currencies, attributing this to sound economic management by the Mahama government.
“The cedi, hitherto on life support, is now gaining strength,” she declared.

She further noted that key economic indicators such as inflation and interest rates are trending positively due to “the good governance pillars being erected and the pragmatic economic solutions being displayed by President John Dramani Mahama and his competent team.”

“This administration has proven it is not a government of sloganeering,” she added.

The NDC USA Chair urged party members in the diaspora to remain disciplined and mindful of their public conduct, especially on social media. “Let us be circumspect in our conduct,” she advised.

She encouraged members to maintain the unity that propelled the party to electoral victory and to resolve internal differences respectfully.

“When the NDC rises in unison, nothing can stand in our way. Let us agree to disagree without tearing down the house. Let us treat each other with dignity, courtesy, and mutual respect,” she said. “We are a people with a shared vision and heritage.”

Also speaking at the event, the NDC’s Deputy National Organiser, Elikem Kotoko, assured the diaspora of the government’s commitment to addressing the country’s economic and social challenges holistically.

He said the Mahama administration is implementing policies designed to tackle the real issues affecting the nation and improve the overall well-being of the Ghanaian people.
