Build a legacy through action, not rhetoric - A Plus to Mahama

The Member of Parliament-Elect for Gomoa Central Constituency, Kwame Asare Obeng, aka A Plus, has urged President-Elect John Dramani Mahama to focus on action over words as he prepares to assume office.

A Plus said this in an open letter to the President-Elect, where he congratulated Mahama on his recent election as President of the Republic of Ghana.

In his letter, A Plus praised Mahama's extensive political career, highlighting his roles from Member of Parliament to Deputy Minister for Communications, full Minister, Vice President, and President.

Your journey is a tapestry of rich experience. Even after being voted out, you spent eight years in opposition, only to rise again and claim the presidency.

He emphasized the trust and hope Ghanaians have placed in Mahama, adding that the President-Elect has the task of ruling Ghanaians with love and passion.

“But know this, Mr. President, it is the river that remembers every stone; as for the ocean, it forgets every drop. Ghana is larger than any political party, and pleasing its diverse and discerning citizens is a task as arduous as killing a mosquito sucking blood on the testicle.

“Yet, you can create a thread that ties your heart to that of Ghana - though invisible but stronger than chains. Your connection to the people must be guided by love, passion, and dedication to their well-being,” he continued.

A Plus further urged Mahama to focus on building a solid foundation for Ghana's progress and not depend on words.

He warned that should Mahama falter in his duties, his failure will live on with him.

Mr President-Elect, rhetoric is the wind that whispers through the ears; it is action that builds lasting monuments. Ghana does not need grand speeches or lofty promises; what she needs is a solid foundation for progress. As the saying goes, “A bridge built on whispers will crumble beneath the weight of footsteps.” Your second chance is an opportunity to construct bridges that will stand the test of time.

“This is your moment to leave a legacy that generations will honour. Should you falter, the weight of failure will rest solely on your shoulders. But should you succeed, your name will echo through history as the leader who transformed Ghana into a beacon of hope and prosperity,” he added.

In his concluding statement, the MP-Elect expressed his hope that Mahama, in his second term, would remain dedicated to the well-being of all Ghanaians.
