The Minority Caucus in Parliament has described President John Dramani Mahama’s first 120 days as ‘empty and cosmetic’.
Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin posited that the president has abandoned the bold reformist agenda he championed during the campaign.
According to him, the president has rather embarked on a recycled failure.
He was speaking at a press conference organised by the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) on its assessment of the first 120 days of the president.
He also described his national address as a hollow display of self-congratulation that fails to reflect the lived realities of Ghanaians.
“This is not just a speech; it is a call to remembrance and resistance,” Afenyo-Markin asserted. “It is a forensic audit of the presidency that campaigned with the urgency of a reformer but now governs with the indifference of a ruler long exhausted by ideas.”
“Now the 120 days are over, the promises have collapsed, the excuses have run dry, and the reckoning must begin,” he said. “Let it be said plainly to every Ghanaian — you were not given a reset; you were sold a recycled failure.”
He added that President Mahama and his government have betrayed the trust of the electorate by choosing political expediency over genuine transformation.
To him, the president is “trading the will of the people for political convenience”.
He has therefore advised Ghanaians to be vigilant and vocal in defending the integrity of the democratic process, declaring that Ghanaians must “rise up to defend the Republic”.
