Martin Amidu has cautioned President John Mahama about the dangers of surrounding himself with sycophants, referencing Cadman Mills' past warning about blind loyalty within government. "When Cadman Mills spoke against sycophancy, those around you attacked him. "But he was right.

The people around you will praise you into failure if you are not careful,"Amidu warned.

He further urged Mahama to focus on real governance and avoid falling into the cycle of past leaders who used similar rhetoric to justify borrowing from China or opting for HIPC relief. "Ghanaians put their trust in you to fix the problems, not to prepare them for another loan or bailout.

Walk your pre-election can-do talk!" Amidu concluded.
