Senyo Hosi, a Finance and economic policy analyst, has said 2026 is the defining year for the ND led John Mahama government.
According to Senyo Hosi, the real state of the Mahama government will be evaluated after this year.
Senyo Hosi further told President John Dramani Mahama that his honeymoon period in government is over.
According to Senyo Hosi, the Mahama government must focus on substantive issues that affect our people, like production and employment for our youth.
He detailed that the Ghanaians will soon stop discussing the sins of Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo as they start to demand accountability from the Mahama government.
Senyo Hosi is quoted to have said, “People now are going to stop discussing what Nana Addo was like. People are now going to hold this government accountable for their own aspirations as human beings, as Ghanaians and their expectations of governance.
Real lives are at stake, and real questions will start being asked. Nana Addo is fast becoming history in people’s expectations and people’s problems about governance. People have accountability issues. Are you really delivering accountability beyond the press conferences and saying…Who has become accountable after over a whole year in office?
We were having conversations with the transport minister about the efficiency of procurement, about you still doing single sourcing. People are seeing these things and will start judging you on its own merit”.
He added, This is the defining year for John Mahama; the real state of his government will be evaluated after this year. Next year is campaign mode, and there will be a lot of disruption, but this is an indication that your honeymoon is over, so please get focused on the substantive issues that affect our people. Production, employment for our youth, we are looking clearly about accountability”.
Meanwhile, Nana Aba Anamoah, a renowned Ghanaian media personality, has showered praises on the second coming of President John Dramani Mahama back into office.
According to Nana Aba Anamoah, he would rate the John Mahama-led NDC government 75% to 80%.
Nana Aba Anamoah detailed that the second coming of John Mahama has brought in a much-needed era of economic stability and ministerial humility compared to what Ghanaians witnessed under the past government.
The veteran Journalist asserted that President John Mahama has also learnt his lesson because in his first term, there were bouts of arrogance with his appointees.
Speaking in an interview on Joy FM’s Showbiz A-Z on Saturday, 21st February 2026, Nana Aba Anamoah stated, “I will give the 75% to 80% because I think that His Excellency John Dramani Mahama has stabilised the economy… I think his Finance Minister is doing an excellent job. The economy is doing very well now compared to the last three to four years. Things were quite turbulent”.
“There was too much arrogance… from the previous administration. You could listen from their utterances on the radio, the way they were so dismissive of journalists and their commentary. It was just very, very arrogant,” she remarked.
“But I think that the second coming of JM is a great one. He’s learned his lessons because his first term also had bouts of arrogance—not with him, but with his appointees. But things are different now, it’s just a year, maybe too early in the day. But I think that the trajectory looks good, it looks positive, and I am happy with the work they are doing so far. The appointees are careful, they are handson, they show up”.
Nana Aba Anamoah further went on to list a few ministers she has noted who are doing an excellent job, saying, “I will give credit to the Gender minister; she is very responsive, she jumps on issues very quickly, she doesn’t wait for days to respond, she is doing an excellent job. The Foreign Minister is also very accessible; you tweet at him, he responds, and a few of the appointees are doing very well.
“My favourite really is Oboubia. I like what Oboubia is doing with Mahamacares. The way she goes to the hospitals and it’s become a weekly thing… I like that,” Nana Aba added.
