An Uber driver shared his thoughts on President John Dramani Mahama’s second tenure since he assumed office on January 7, 2025.
The young man said he was grateful to President John Mahama for the reduction in prices of fuel and some goods since he took over from the Akufo-Addo-led government.
In a video on X, the Uber driver said he wants President Mahama to govern the country till he dies, since he is making the country economically stable.
He added that even if the President decides not to contest for the highest office again, he would mobilise people to demonstrate to compel John Mahama to run for the job.
“We will allow President John Mahama to govern Ghana till he dies. We will demonstrate and ensure it happens. See the way he has reduced fuel prices since he assumed power. Aside from that, he has reduced the prices of other items, and there is some relief in town. We will continue to vote for him as President. We thank him so much.”
John Mahama took office as president for the first time on 24 July 2012, when President Mills died in office. This made him the first vice president to assume the presidency following the death of his predecessor.
He contested and won the presidential race in December 2012 to continue his governance. However, he lost his bid for a second term in 2016.
The New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo was elected to become President. He governed from 2017 to 2025. Getting to the end of his leadership, several Ghanaians often complained of hardship in the country.
The Uber driver said he believes President Mahama should govern for a long time because he seems to be bringing several changes that are helping to better the lives of Ghanaians.
