The Minority in Parliament has launched a scathing attack on President John Dramani Mahama’s 120-day performance report, accusing him of abandoning his reform agenda and presiding over a “recycled failure.” Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin dismissed the President’s national address as a self-congratulatory exercise that fails to reflect the harsh realities faced by Ghanaians.
“This is not just a speech; it’s a call to remembrance and resistance,” Afenyo-Markin said. “It’s 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.”
Afenyo-Markin expressed concern that the administration’s early promise has begun to falter, claiming that President Mahama’s leadership is entering its “lame duck days.” “Now the 120 days are over, the promises have collapsed, the excuses have run dry, 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.”
The Minority Leader accused the government of betraying the trust of the electorate by prioritizing political expediency over genuine transformation. He urged citizens to be vigilant and vocal in defending democracy, saying, “Rise up to defend the Republic.”
Afenyo-Markin dismissed the government’s claimed achievements as “cosmetic,” arguing that they fail to address pressing issues like economic hardship, unemployment, and stalled governance reforms.
