Prominent Ghanaian statesman and business leader, Sir Sam Jonah, has lauded President John Mahama for what he described as an unwavering commitment to democratic principles in the face of calls for a third presidential term.
Sir Jonah’s commendation follows President Mahama’s firm rejection of proposals to amend the 1992 Constitution to extend the presidential term limit.
In a post on Threads on Friday, Sir Jonah wrote:
“John Mahama’s leadership embodies the values of democracy and integrity. Despite calls to amend the constitution for personal gain, he remains committed to upholding the rule of law and respecting the limits of his mandate. His humility, determination, and genuine commitment to leaving a lasting legacy are traits that set him apart as a leader.”
He further hailed Mahama as “a role model for future African leaders,” stressing that his dedication to constitutionalism and democratic governance stands as “a beacon of hope for the continent.”
President Mahama, who has consistently ruled out any attempt to seek a third term, has reiterated that his focus remains on strengthening governance, deepening accountability, and leaving a legacy rooted in the rule of law.
