The Acting Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Shippers Authority, Professor Ransford Gyampo, has cautioned President not to be swayed by recent praises from individuals who previously criticised him.

According to Professor Gyampo, some of Mahama's fiercest critics have now turned around to heap praises on him, a gesture he believes should not distract the President or derail the efforts of the anti-corruption task force, Operation Recover All Loot (ORAL).

Speaking on a panel discussion on TV3 on June 21, 2025, Professor Gyampo emphasised that regardless of the public accolades, ORAL must stay committed to its mandate of retrieving illegally acquired assets. "All of a sudden, President Mahama is being showered with accolades from people who had once severely criticised him.

Now he is being told that he is the most prepared president in Ghana.
