Minority Slams President Mahama’s 120-Day Report as “Recycled Failure”
The Minority in Parliament has delivered a scathing response to President John Dramani Mahama’s 120-day performance report, accusing his administration of abandoning its reformist promises and instead rehashing ineffective policies.
At a press conference on Thursday, May 8, Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin dismissed the President’s recent national address as a self-congratulatory speech disconnected from the struggles of ordinary Ghanaians. According to him, the President’s much-hyped reform agenda has not translated into tangible change.
“This is not just a speech; it is a call to remembrance and resistance,” Afenyo-Markin said. “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.”
He described the Mahama administration as already entering its “lame duck days,” despite being only four months into its term. “Now the 120 days are over, the promises have collapsed, the excuses have run dry, the reckoning must begin,” he stated. “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 prioritising political survival over transformational leadership, alleging that President Mahama has betrayed the trust of voters.
“We are seeing political expediency over principle. The government is trading the will of the people for political convenience,” he said, urging Ghanaians to “rise up to defend the Republic.”
President Mahama, in his national broadcast, had cited progress in repealing controversial taxes, initiating institutional reforms, and promoting legislative accountability as key accomplishments. But the Minority insists these gains are merely cosmetic and fail to address fundamental challenges like economic distress, high unemployment, and governance bottlenecks.
The opposition’s critique underscores a widening gulf between the government’s self-assessment and the Minority’s perception of national reality, setting the stage for heightened political contestation in the months ahead.
