He expressed confidence in the leadership of former President John Dramani Mahama, asserting that Mahama possessed the necessary experience and capabilities to address the challenges facing the nation.

Buah's assurance that Mahama would tackle the ongoing energy crisis resonated with a sense of optimism, suggesting that under Mahama's leadership, Ghana could once again overcome its obstacles and thrive.
