Ghanaian statesman and business leader, Sir Sam Jonah, has lauded President John Mahama for his steadfast commitment to democracy, particularly his refusal to consider amending the constitution for a third term.
In a post on social media platform Threads on Friday, Sir Jonah praised the former president for resisting calls that could have allowed him to seek another term, describing Mahama’s leadership as embodying “the values of democracy and integrity.”
“Despite calls to amend the constitution for personal gain, he remains committed to upholding the rule of law and respecting the limits of his mandate. His humility, determination, and genuine commitment to leaving a lasting legacy are traits that set him apart as a leader,” Sir Jonah wrote.
He added that Mahama serves as “a role model for future African leaders” and that his dedication to constitutionalism is “a beacon of hope for our continent.”
The commendation follows President Mahama’s firm stance against proposals to alter Ghana’s 1992 Constitution, emphasizing his focus on governance and accountability within the bounds of the law.
