Veteran journalist, Kwesi Pratt Jnr, has urged President John Dramani Mahama to fire all his appointees who have begun exploring their presidential ambitions.
Kwesi Pratt Jnr, in a post shared on X on Friday, July 18, 2025, asserted that some of the appointees have clearly started campaigning to be President Mahama’s replacement and are not focused on the jobs he has given them.
He pointed out that the appointees who want to be the president’s replacement must be sacked before their lack of focus affects the implementation of his vision for the country.
“Is it not possible or likely that such appointees have or will use their current positions to advance their mostly unrealistic ambitions? And if that should happen, how will it affect the implementation of the Mahama/#NDC agenda for 2025 to 2029?
“Perhaps, it is time for President Mahama to get rid of all his appointees who are obviously not focusing on the task he has assigned them, instead of campaigning to replace him. All the focus ought to be on solving hydra-headed problems of the people of Ghana now and not the leadership dreams of over-ambitious appointees,” the veteran journalist wrote.
He made these remarks while reacting to a news publication which reported the Minister of Food and Agriculture, Eric Opoku, vying for the National Democratic Congress (NDC) flagbearership position for the 2028 Election.
