Seidu Agongo Praises John Mahama for His Selfless Leadership and Support for All Ghanaians
Prominent businessman and philanthropist Seidu Agongo has lauded former President John Dramani Mahama for his remarkable generosity even towards individuals who may not share his political beliefs.
In a recent interview with Metro TV Agongo shared a compelling story highlighting Mahama’s commitment to fairness and national interest. He revealed that during Mahama’s first term as president he personally intervened to ensure that funds owed to opposition Member of Parliament, Kennedy Agyapong by the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) were released.
According to Agongo Agyapong had his money locked up with ECG and despite their political differences Mahama stepped in to resolve the issue.
Kennedy Agyapong’s money was locked and he went to JM. JM made them pay him under the previous NDC government, Agongo stated.
He emphasized that Mahama’s intervention was not motivated by personal or political gain but rather by his understanding of how Agyapong’s business operations benefited the country.
Agongo described Mahama as a leader who prioritizes the well-being of Ghanaians above political rivalries. He stressed that the former president’s decisions were always guided by his vision for national development and inclusivity.
He [Mahama] is ready to support everybody and anybody to evolve to become the best, Agongo noted.
Beyond this specific case, Agongo praised Mahama’s leadership style, describing him as a statesman dedicated to building a lasting legacy for Ghana. He pointed out that Mahama ensures his appointees understand their primary responsibility is to serve the people.
Every appointment he makes, he tells you, ‘You have to serve the people of Ghana,’ Agongo added.
Mahama’s approach to governance, according to Agongo, underscores his deep commitment to fostering national self-sufficiency and development.
Conclusion
Seidu Agongo’s testimony serves as a powerful endorsement of John Mahama’s leadership values demonstrating his ability to put Ghana first regardless of political differences. As Ghana gears up for its next election, such accounts of Mahama’s leadership may influence public perception of his vision for the country
