President John Dramani Mahama has urged Ghanaians to cut politicians down to size when they think they are bigger than the country.
John Mahama admitted that, as politicians, they sometimes see themselves as bigger than Ghana.
According to President Mahama, Ghanaians must always remind politicians that Ghana will exist long after they are gone.
In a news card shared by GHOne TV on X, Mahama was quoted to have said, “As politicians, we sometimes think we’re bigger than this country. You must always remember to cut us down to size and remind us that Ghana will exist long after we’re gone”.
Some Ghanaians reacting to President John Mahama’s remarks stated, “But Mr President, some of us are less privileged people in the community, even after hard years in university, how to get a job is very difficult in this country because we don’t know or have any politicians, why is the system so hmmmm many structures must change”.
“That’s a way to go, but this contradicts your government’s posture today. You can say one thing and do another. Call your guys to order if you don’t subscribe to their actions”, an X user added.
One X user added, “Reason you should crack the whip to restore sanity and integrity. Ghana will exist regardless. It is not the duty of the people to threaten the peace of Ghana nor politicians to sell the future of generations unborn”.
A netizen added, “Unimpeachable observation. I would add that, as politicians, some of us are thrust into leadership by happenstance. And that if others had been put in the same situation, the would have performed just as well or even better. We are not “extraordinary” or bigger than life”.
One last netizen added, “When we do, LISTEN to us!
We don’t enjoy or care abt politics, but rather good Quality of Life &, high Standards of Living & respect/honour for our ancestors who created a great civilisation for us
We DON’T open doors for foreigners to destroy our culture & overshadow us @JDMahama”.
In related news, Dr Stephen Amoah, popularly known as Sticka, the Member of Parliament for Nhyiaeso, has shockingly revealed the hard truths about Ghanaian politicians.
According to Dr Stephen Amoah, whether NPP or NDC politcians car more about cars, houses and women than about citizens.
He asserted said Politics has become an enterprise, adding that from his observations, both his party and the incumbent NDC are incapable of transforming Ghana into a developed nation.
He asserted that he is not convinced that even 10% of politicians, whether NDC or NPP, are genuinely interested in developing the country.
Stephen Amoah noted that many politicians are driven more by personal gain, seeking to afford their own homes, cars, and taking women to Dubai.
Speaking in an interview on Angel FM, Stephen Amoah stated, “Politics has become an enterprise. From my observation, in my opinion, I’m not convinced that even 10% of politicians, whether NDC or NPP, are genuinely interested in developing the country; many are driven more by personal gain, seeking to afford their own homes, cars, and taking women to Dubai”.
Are you sure NPP and NDC know the number of street children in Ghana? Citizens don’t look at some things. Let me ask you the two parties do they have any research institutions that look into Ghana’s problem?
I am NPP. To me, NPP is better than the NDC, but the two have problems. NPP is better than NDC in terms of our social issues for Ghanaians, but for almost 35 years are we been solving our problems? We don’t even know the number of street children in Ghana; we haven’t had any research institution for about 35 years or 40 years to look into our problems of unemployment, cedi, corruption”.
