Archbishop Nicholas Duncan-Williams, Founder and General Overseer of Action Chapel International, has voiced his strong belief in President John Dramani Mahama’s leadership capacity, describing him as a man driven by lessons from the past and a renewed determination to transform Ghana.
The respected clergyman addressed broader challenges on the African continent, noting that many of its current crises are a result of leadership failures.
“When you look at some of the crises on our continent, it just doesn’t make sense.
“I don’t want to mention names of countries, but it just doesn’t make sense for us to retrogress with all that we have,” he said in an interview on The Point of View with Bernard Avle on Channel One TV,
Duncan-Williams emphasized that Africa is not without capable leaders and resources. He pointed out that Ghana, in particular, has vast potential to flourish if led by selfless and visionary individuals.
“This country and continent have had some great leaders, and still do in certain areas.
“And there’s no reason why this continent and our country, Ghana, must not thrive and flourish.
“There’s no reason why our currency cannot do better. With the gold reserves we have and the oil and cocoa, we can do better,” he added.
Touching specifically on Mahama’s return to frontline politics, the archbishop described the former president as someone who has matured through experience and is now poised to make meaningful change.
“We just need visionary leaders and selfless leaders. And I believe that President John Dramani is a visionary leader, a selfless leader, because he has been here before.
“He has learned from his past mistakes, and he has come back with a drive and passion and a determination to correct the mistakes of the past and make a difference and to go down in history as one who walked and came back with a difference.”
