The Founder of the Centre for Alternative Politics and Security West Africa (CAPS-WA), Dr. Muhammad Dan Suleiman, has expressed sympathy for President John Mahama.
According to him, Mr Mahama made a lot of promises to Ghanaians ahead of the December 7, 2024, election.
But considering the resources available and the current state of the economy, Dr Suleiman is skeptical about Mahama’s ability to fully deliver on his promises.
“I pity this president a bit because he made a lot of promises to develop the country but weighing what he said against the money and other resources available, Ghana does not have that strength. So he may not be able to deliver on all his promises,” he said.
However, Dr Suleiman in an interview on Adom FM Dwaso Nsem admonished President Mahama to psych Ghanaians for the challenges ahead.
“As soon as possible, he should sensitise Ghanaians so that if he starts and things gets tough, he will come back and ask Ghanaians to be patient and I agree with that.
“He has four years and I believe he may not be able to deliver on all his promises so I will appeal to Ghanaians that when he asks for patience, we would understand him,” he stated.
Dr Suleiman further stressed that given the overwhelming endorsement in the 2024 election, Ghanaians may run out of patience of President Mahama continues to give excuses after a year or two.
“His communication strategy must focus on sensitising Ghanaians to better understand the sequence of governance because from where I sit, I don’t think Ghanaians will be patient without this understanding,” he added.
