Marricke touted himself as a highly experienced person whose “unique blend of local, regional and international experiences” are crucial to Ghana’s needs and will help him to succeed in transforming the country. 

His core vision is to “build Economic, Social, Technological and Political pillars that drive Ghana into first world status

within 25 years” of his administration.  He stated that Ghana’s educational system and economy need radical policy innovations to create new opportunities by releasing the full potential of the country’s human resource adding that “the solution to development lies in the youthful population, if well-equipped, motivated and then directed”.  

He is a big believer in youth power and says that "Our biggest resource is the youth. It's our opportunity to bridge the gap. Our opportunity to get into the future." He also added that the current Government has mismanaged the Covid-19 situation.
