Esther Offei-Aboagye, Chairperson of the Integrated Social Development Centre (ISODEC), has shared her perspective on the incoming presidency of John Mahama, stressing that he has a rare opportunity to leave a lasting legacy due to the freedom that comes with having "nothing to lose." In a recent interview on Newsfile on JoyNews, Offei-Aboagye discussed the challenges and potential successes awaiting Mahama as he steps back into the role of president. "I believe President Mahama, the incoming president, has a unique opportunity to leave a legacy because he has nothing to lose," Offei-Aboagye remarked. "He has the freedom to make a definitive difference in several areas.
There are major lessons to be learned in managing expectations, as he is coming into office with enormous public expectations and a lot of goodwill." Her comments shed light on the public's high hopes for Mahama as he takes on the leadership of the country once again.
Having previously served as president from 2012 to 2017, Mahama returns to the presidency following the results of the 2024 elections.
Offei-Aboagye emphasized that the incoming president must navigate these expectations carefully, as there is significant goodwill and faith in his ability to lead effectively.
