Captain Smart Critiques Mahama’s Administration
The host of Onua Maakye, Blessed Godsbrain Smart, widely known as Captain Smart, has voiced strong criticism against President John Dramani Mahama’s administration. According to Smart, none of the ministers have made any meaningful contributions during their first eight months in office.
Lack of Significant Achievements
In a recent broadcast, the outspoken host argued that aside from President Mahama himself, no minister has left a lasting legacy that the citizens can take pride in. “Come and sit here and tell me you are doing something. Yesterday, I told JB something, and he was just staring at my face,” Smart expressed during his show.
The Call for Accountability
Captain Smart emphasized the urgent need for the government to account for its actions. “Eight years is over, and former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo is sitting at home. All the ministries— which one has brought something important for Ghanaians to discuss? Not even one,” he asserted, urging the ministers to step up their efforts.
Mahama’s Government Background
The National Democratic Congress (NDC) government, led by John Dramani Mahama, assumed office on January 7, 2025, following a successful campaign in the 2024 general elections. During his campaign, Mahama promised to streamline the government and implement a 24-hour economy to foster job creation and sustainable growth.
Challenges Faced by the Administration
Despite these ambitious goals, President Mahama’s administration has encountered several challenges early in its term. Tragically, two key ministers—Dr. Edward Boamah, Minister of Defence, and Dr. Ibrahim Murtala, Minister of Science—lost their lives in a helicopter crash, which has disrupted the governance agenda significantly.
Public Concern and Future Prospects
The public’s growing concern over the administration’s lack of progress has raised questions about its effectiveness. Citizens are left wondering how the government intends to navigate these challenges and fulfill its commitments to the electorate.
