You have no right to drive Mahama – Okatakyie Afrifa-Mensah fires at Ibrahim Mahama
Outspoken media personality, Okatakyie Afrifa-Mensah, has criticized businessman Ibrahim Mahama, the brother of President John Mahama, for driving the president during his official duties.
According to him, the act is wrong and shouldn’t be let to go on.
His remarks come after videos of Ibrahim Mahama driving the president through flood-affected districts of the Volta Region went viral on social media.
Some Ghanaians expressed their disgust of the incident on social media after the video went viral.
Speaking on the issue on his show, Okatakyie Afrifa-Mensah stated that Ibrahim Mahama had no business driving the president.
“If you are a wealthy individual, stay in your space and enjoy your wealth. We know that, by all means, you will benefit from the government and exert some control, but let it not be so blatant. We don’t care—just let us have our peace. Take a step back. Does it align with any proper governance structure that the President of the Republic is visiting a place and his brother is the one driving him? Are you people okay? We have reduced our governance to the lowest level, and nobody sees anything wrong with it because it involves Ibrahim.
“The president has not fewer than three drivers. The practice has been that, ordinarily, the president’s driver is not even supposed to be driving him. But from Atta Mills through Mahama to Akufo-Addo, they have enrolled their private drivers into the service. If you think Ibrahim Mahama is the one who should be driving you, let us know and officially enroll him as your chauffeur. Then we can have official records stating that Ibrahim Mahama is the new chauffeur of the president. What is all this?” he queried.
