An aspiring NPP Parliamentary Candidate, Beatrice Nana Yaa Owarewa Siaw, has shared her candid thoughts on the country’s current leadership and governance.
According to Beatrice Siaw, she admires President John Mahama so much that she cannot speak ill of the president.
She explained that she loves her party and is impressed with the President, not necessarily impressed with how things are going.
Speaking in an interview on Metro TV’s Good Morning, Ghana, Beatrice Nana Yaa Owarewa Siaw stated, “I admire President Mahama, so it’s hard to speak against him. Even though I am an NPP member, I do love my party…I am impressed with the President [but] not necessarily impressed with how things are going”.
“I got into politics to make a difference. I thought I could shape lives and touch people within the Asante Mampong environs”.
She further added, “Being a citizen from there and also from the royal family, I believe it is my right to help my people. If not me, who? If not now, when?”
In related news, 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.
