Akufo-Addo’s Eight Years of Family and Friends Rule vs. Mahama’s Team of Thinkers

By GHANA YOUTH BEYONG PARTY COLORS

For eight long years, President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has ruled Ghana — not with the people, but with his family, friends, and close allies. What began as a promise of transformation and prosperity has turned into disappointment for many who once believed in the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and its message of change.

Under Akufo-Addo’s administration, loyalty and personal connection became more valuable than competence and intelligence. Many brilliant and visionary NPP members were ignored, while appointments went to those whose main qualification was friendship or family ties. What we have seen is a government filled with confusion, arrogance, and waste — one that has lost touch with the very people it vowed to serve.

Ghana is paying the price for this “family and friends” governance. The economy is struggling, youth unemployment has soared, corruption scandals have become the norm, and hope has faded in the hearts of hardworking citizens. The once-promising dream of a new Ghana has been replaced by frustration and hardship.

In sharp contrast stands John Dramani Mahama — a leader who believes in merit, education, and collective wisdom. Mahama surrounds himself with professors, technocrats, and policy experts — men and women who understand governance and are ready to serve with competence and humility. His vision is clear: a Ghana built on expertise, accountability, and opportunity for all.

As Ghana approaches another election, the choice before us is simple yet crucial:
Do we continue with a government built on nepotism and personal loyalty, or do we embrace leadership grounded in knowledge, integrity, and progress?

The time has come for Ghanaians to demand better — to reject mediocrity and reward merit. Our nation deserves leadership that works for everyone, not just a privileged few.

Ghana must rise again — through wisdom, not favoritism; through competence, not connections.

President Mahama: A Visionary Leader Resolving Ghana’s Long-Standing Challenges

Former President John Dramani Mahama continues to stand out as one of Ghana’s most dedicated and solution-oriented leaders. His tenure is widely recognized for addressing some of the country’s most persistent national challenges, particularly the long-term energy crisis known as “dumsor.”

The energy shortages, which began in the early 2000s, posed a major threat to national productivity and economic growth. Under President Mahama’s leadership, Ghana witnessed significant investments in energy generation and infrastructure, resulting in the resolution of the crisis by 2015. Today, the nation continues to benefit from the foundations laid during his administration—stable power supply and improved energy management systems that support industry and everyday life.

As President Mahama returns to lead once again, he faces another long-standing challenge: illegal mining, commonly referred to as “galamsey.” Though this issue has existed for decades, its environmental and social impact has grown substantially in recent years.

Known for his commitment to sustainable development, President Mahama has reaffirmed his determination to address this complex issue with the same resolve that ended dumsor. His approach emphasizes collaboration, regulation, and the use of modern technology to restore Ghana’s lands and water bodies, while ensuring responsible and legal mining practices.

President Mahama’s leadership has always been defined by vision, dedication, and tangible results. As he embarks on his renewed mandate, many Ghanaians remain confident that his proven ability to solve deep-rooted national problems will once again guide the country toward lasting progress and prosperity.

Bole Bamboi Nebukat Nezer and his QNET govt should know that these persecutions are badge of honour, which these persecuted individuals are wearing with pride.

Any future npp govt will over turn such injustices melted against people who are called neither Ibrahim nor Mahama.

Hmm is the galamseyers are well determined to continue their trade no matter the consequences.
That is the reason the police, the Judiciary must stamp their authority to be very ruthless and hard on those found with evidence. We can't continue like this . In the next ten years how will our water bodies, Forest and environment be if we fail as country to nip this in the bud??

Don’t involve the Ghana Police in this. They are more interested in protecting their pockets than confronting those nation wreckers.

Have they arrested the big fish or the small ones? If the arrested culprits are the tycoons I think the fight makes sense; but the laborers are arrested, then we have a long way to go. Fight wisely.

●President Mahama is the problem in the fight against galamsey.
