Mahama’s ‘Back to the Future’ Plan: Ghana's New Time Machine or Just a Really Long Walk Back?

Step into the past with Mahama’s ‘Back to the Future’ plan—where nostalgia reigns and yesterday's issues take center stage. Is Ghana poised for a whimsical journey through time, or merely a retro retreat from reality?
In a bold and baffling political maneuver, former President John Dramani Mahama has unveiled his latest campaign strategy dubbed the "Back to the Future" plan, which reportedly involves a time machine that will send Ghana back to the “good old days” of his presidency—circa 2016. According to sources close to the former president, the time machine doubles as a policy document and a delightful way to avoid addressing recent issues like electricity shortages and inflation.
Mahama, donning a lab coat and a pair of oversized goggles, held a press conference earlier today to reveal his plans for the time travel initiative. “Forget about progress,” he proclaimed confidently. “We’re going back, not forward. Who needs innovation when you can simply revisit a time when things were just ‘okay’?”
The plan reportedly utilizes a combination of outdated policies and a large quantity of nostalgic VHS tapes featuring his past achievements. “We’re taking inspiration from those ‘greatest hits’ of Ghana’s political history,” he added, referencing his award-winning performances in 'Dumsor Chronicles' and 'The Economy Blues'.
Critics of the plan were swift to react. “This all sounds a bit like the plot of a bad sci-fi movie,” noted a political analyst. “I mean, sure, who wouldn’t want to relive their glory days? But coupling it with actual governance? That’s like trying to bake a cake with expired ingredients.”
Speaking of expired, members of Mahama’s campaign team were seen distributing flyers that read, “Back to the Future: Because Yesterday Was More Fun.” When asked if the campaign had any actual plans for policy improvement, a campaign spokesperson replied, “Why fix what isn’t broken? We’ve just introduced a fresh coat of nostalgia!”
In a recent poll conducted using a time-honored method of thumb wrestling among undecided voters, it was revealed that 76% preferred the idea of traveling back to the past rather than contemplating the future. “At least in the past, we had a paper shortage instead of a cash shortage,” one resident remarked, clutching a vintage flip phone as a symbolic protest against modern technology.
Experts are questioning the feasibility of Mahama’s plan, especially the logistics of time travel. “Unless he’s found a Delorean somewhere or perfected a method to harness the power of the ‘Back to the Future’ movies,” quipped a local science teacher, “we’re going to need some serious Flux Capacitor magic here.”
Despite mounting criticism, Mahama remains unfazed, claiming he has “the support of the community” and a secret weapon: the world’s first electoral time machine. “We simply rewind the votes!” he exclaimed cheerfully. “Who knew politics could be so simple?”
As the excitement for the “Back to the Future” plan grows, local shops have begun marketing “Time Traveler Kits” with products ranging from 1990s fashion to uncooked plantains, which Mahama claims were once the nation’s “superfood.”
As the 2024 elections approach, one thing is clear: if nothing else, at least the campaign will provide a chuckle or two—whether it leads to a time machine or just a really long walk back to the presidency.
