2024 Presidential Candidate of the Ghana Union Movement (GUM), Christian Kwabena Andrews, popularly known as Osofo Kyiri Abosom, has praised President John Dramani Mahama for what he describes as strong economic management during his first ten months in office.
Speaking on The Big Agenda on Adom TV, Osofo Kyiri Abosom said that, given the severe economic challenges the current administration inherited, President Mahama deserves commendation for the progress made so far.
He highlighted the stability of the Ghana cedi, the reduction or stabilisation of prices of goods and services compared to the previous regime, single-digit inflation, and a steady supply of electricity as clear signs of effective governance.
Osofo Kyiri Abosom urged appointees, public sector workers, and the general public not to sabotage the president but to support him in achieving his goals.
When asked to rate President Mahama’s performance, he said: “So far, President Mahama has started on a good note because all the fundamentals are good. I will give him 88% for now,” while encouraging the president to maintain the same level of performance throughout his tenure.
Mr. Andrews also appealed to President Mahama not to shield appointees of the previous government who have been arrested or are standing trial over corruption-related offences. He argued that the country’s inability to effectively fight corruption stems from the failure to prosecute those found culpable.
He cautioned the president not to succumb to pressure from party members defending colleagues facing trial, describing claims of “witch hunting” as mere propaganda.
