The former president of Ghana, John Dramani Mahama has urged Ghanaians to support one another in times of need. According to him, this unity and common purpose is needed if Ghanaians wanted to build a sustainable national economy. Mr. Mahama said this at a public lecture in Accra, dubbed “#ThankGhana, Social Justice and A Sustainable Economy”, to climax his nationwide “Thank You Tour”.

He added that the needy must be supported regardless of their ethnicity, partisanship, religious affiliation, background or gender. “The 'I am because you are' spirit is not alien to the Ghanaian. We live and experience life as a community and not as individuals.” Also, he posited that Ghanaians had become even more aware of their interconnectedness as a people with a common hope of prosperity, safety and liberty for themselves, and their future generations.

He made this statement when he was recounting his days back at school. “This fundamental lesson was evident in the contrasting lives I lived in Achimota, in Accra, in Tamale and Damango,” the former President stressed. “As a Member of Parliament (MP) for Bole-Bamboi, as Vice President and as President this guiding principle has always influenced my decision making.” At the end of the program, he thanked God, Ghanaians and the rank and file of the NDC for their supporting him throughout his journey in his political career over the years. “Let me at this point thank you for joining me this evening as I give thanks to the Almighty God and to you, all Ghanaians and the rank and file of the NDC for your prayers, your support, your encouragement and perpetual guidance in my political career.”
