Special Aide to President John Dramani Mahama, Joyce Bawah Mogtari, has praised the president’s recent media engagement, highlighting his ability to communicate effectively and noting that his performance shows why she considers him his own best spokesperson.

In a post on her X page on Thursday, September 11, 2025, she said the engagement drew wide public attention and reflected the eagerness of Ghanaians to see their leaders account for their actions.

“Over the years, presidential media interviews have shown that citizens are increasingly eager for such engagements and look forward to seeing their leaders regularly account for their actions and share efforts to improve lives. It is no surprise, then, that the most watched and followed programme last night was the President’s media briefing,” she wrote.

She noted that President Mahama used the platform to outline measures aimed at strengthening economic growth and expanding opportunities.

“President Mahama delivered his message with cadence and passion, communicating his vision effectively and persuasively. He presented compelling arguments about the future of the economy and all key sectors, and outlined the deliberate measures being taken to strengthen growth and expand opportunities,” she said.
