Top Journalists Drop Shocking Secret About Mahama
One of Ghana’s top journalists has dropped a shocking secret about Mahama, leaving many people talking. Journalists in this country are making situations much simpler for us to deal with. Without the media, many people could deceive us without consequences. However, the excellent work of journalists is exposing the shady activities and lies of our politicians. As the 2024 elections approach, it’s alarming to see how things are developing.
Recently, journalists from Peace FM have shed light on claims made by His Excellency John Dramani Mahama, the presidential candidate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC). During a national platform appearance, Mahama claimed he initiated the Free Senior High School program in Ghana. A video circulating on social media shows Mahama and his running mate, Professor Jane Naana Opoku Agyemang, stating that the Free Senior High School policy, implemented by the current government under His Excellency Nana Addo Dankwah Akufo-Addo, was initially conceived by Mahama and the NDC before he left office in 2012.
Journalists from Peace FM expressed their surprise at these statements. They highlighted that the widely acknowledged initiator and promoter of the Free Senior High School program is Nana Addo Dankwah Akufo-Addo. Mahama’s claims raise questions about where the country stood when he supposedly first proposed the idea of free senior high school in Ghana.
Journalists from Peace FM emphasized the political propaganda at play, pointing out that those in power often take credit for everything, yet the public struggles to see their accomplishments.
The controversy surrounding Mahama’s claim has sparked a significant debate. Many Ghanaians remember the heated discussions and policy battles that surrounded the implementation of the Free Senior High School program. It was widely reported at the time that Nana Addo Dankwah Akufo-Addo and his administration faced numerous challenges and criticisms while pushing the policy forward.

Mahama’s assertion contradicts the well-documented timeline of the policy’s development and implementation. Critics argue that if Mahama and the NDC had indeed initiated the program, there would have been substantial evidence and public records to support this claim during their time in office. Instead, the policy was a flagship initiative of the Akufo-Addo administration, celebrated as a major achievement in expanding access to education.
This revelation by Peace FM’s journalists highlights the importance of media scrutiny in political discourse. By bringing these contradictions to light, journalists help ensure that the public is accurately informed about the actions and claims of their leaders. As the election season intensifies, the role of the media in holding politicians accountable becomes even more crucial.
The situation underscores the need for vigilance and critical thinking among the electorate. With politicians often engaging in propaganda and revisionist narratives, it is essential for voters to rely on credible sources of information and question the validity of claims made by those seeking public office. The work of journalists in uncovering the truth is invaluable in maintaining a healthy, informed democratic society.
