Alexander Afenyo-Markin has issued a direct appeal to President John Dramani Mahama, cautioning that the administration’s current trajectory could erode the historic mandate that brought him back to power.
Addressing the President directly, he noted, “What you achieved in December 2024 is extraordinarily rare.
“A leader who lost power, spent eight years out of office, and returned through the ballot box—that feat alone should be profoundly humbling.”
He argued that such a second chance should be used to drive meaningful transformation rather than actions that “history will remember as removals and arrests.”
Citing past presidents, he said legacies endure when leaders focus on major national reforms, adding, “When we speak of President Kufour, we think of NHIS; for Akufo-Addo, we think of Free SHS.”
Afenyo-Markin urged the President to take control of his administration; “You must not allow yourself to be led astray by those whose only agenda is retribution. The hawks are stealing your legacy.”
He called for moderates within the governing party to be empowered, saying Ghana needs development-oriented leadership, not “an administration consumed by settling political scores.”
