Alexander Afenyo-Markin has issued a strong appeal to President John Dramani Mahama, warning that the administration’s current direction risks undermining the historic mandate that returned him to office.
Speaking directly to the President, he stated, “What you achieved in December 2024 is exceptionally 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.”
