Mahama determined to leave a legacy of impact – Suhuyini
A member of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) communication team, Hamza Suhuyini, has confidently stated that President John Dramani Mahama is focused on building a lasting legacy—one defined by purpose, integrity, and respect, even from political opponents.
Speaking ahead of President Mahama’s scheduled national address on Wednesday, May 7, where he is expected to update the nation on his administration’s performance under the 120-day social contract, Suhuyini took aim at the New Patriotic Party (NPP), accusing it of ineptitude and internal disarray.
“Even in opposition, they are legendary incompetent, and that is staring all of us in the face. Even the internal management of their party activities, which we haven’t seen in the past few days? That tells you the kind of incompetence that presided over the Republic of Ghana, the kind of arrogance and vigilantism that was injected into our body politic,” he stated
In an interview on Breakfast Daily on Channel One TV, Suhuyini praised President Mahama’s character and leadership qualities, describing him as a figure respected across the political divide. “Thankfully, we have a president in the name of President John Dramani Mahama, whom even leading members of the NPP respect for his intelligence, emotional composure, and trustworthy nature,” he said.
While acknowledging that not all national challenges can be resolved within 120 days, Suhuyini emphasized the president’s dedication to fulfilling his mandate and advancing the aspirations of Ghanaians.
“I can assure you, the people of Ghana, that unlike them, we are not saying that we will resolve all the problems and matters in 120 days, but we can assure them that we are dealing with a leader who is committed to leaving a legacy. So he will do everything in his power to meet the aspirations of the Ghanaian people,” Suhuyini affirmed.
Since assuming office, President Mahama’s government has taken several notable steps, including the removal of key taxes such as the Electronic Transfer Levy (E-Levy), Betting Tax, and Emissions Levy. These reforms, Suhuyini noted, are part of a broader agenda to ease economic burdens and promote a more responsive and humane style of governance.
