2024 Elections: I'd love Mahama to come back - Sweet Adjeley

US-based Ghanaian chef Sweet Adjeley has said she would "love" to see former President John Mahama back in the Jubilee House.

Her reason was simple: road infrastructure.

She was guesting on the Class Morning Show on Class 91.3 FM, when Prince Benjamin (PB) asked which candidate she would want to win power in Ghana come December.

She had chosen Kamala Harris for the US prior, her reason being, among other things, Trump's tenure was scary, and she and her family felt unsafe.

"Geez!" she exclaimed, appearing to appreciate the weight of the question.

"I'd love that [President Mahama returns]," Sweet Adjeley finally responded.

She intimated that President Nana Akufo-Addo was doing a terrible job at maintaining the roads constructed before he assumed power in 2016.

"Look, growing up in Ghana, our roads have never been this bad. Take the Barrier [towards] Tema [and] going. Nungua Barrier, for instance. That's where I live. From this place [Labone] to my house, it used to [take] 20 minutes [but] now [it is] over an hour. They've been fixing that road for years. It's an embarrassment.

"The first time I came to Ghana when he [Mahama] was president, I was impressed," the award-winning YouTuber said.

She clarified that she did not have any personal relationship with the former president and flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), nor was she under the influence of money.

"I don't know him. He doesn't give me money. None of the people gives me money," Sweet Adjeley said.

The New Jersey-based medical officer stressed: "But growing up in Ghana, the regular roads were good [while] the side roads have always been bad. But now there's like a swimming pool in the middle of the road when it rains.

"I get anxiety when I am on the road, and it wasn't like that for me before," the celebrity chef bemoaned.

Ghana will decide on a president, his vice, and representatives in parliament on December 7.

The National Democratic Congress (NDC) flagbearer, former President John Dramani Mahama, seeks a second term with Prof Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang as his vice presidential candidate.

Meanwhile, the Vice President, Dr Alhaji Mahamudu Bawumia, seeks to keep the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) in power, with the Energy Minister, Dr Matthew Opoku Prempeh, as his choice for a vice president.
