During an interaction on Tuesday, April 9, 2024, the president of the Ghana Union of Traders’ Association (GUTA), Dr. Joseph Obeng, has spoken highly of former President John Dramani Mahama.
Dr. Obeng praised the flagbearer of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC)’ leadership attributes, describing him as a humble and respectful leader.
Recalling a past meeting, the GUTA president shared how Mahama warmly received them in his office and appreciated their advice on a project.
“We are among the first group of people who came to visit you at the castle when you became the vice president. And if you remember, your own friend Ofori was there… and we talked in details.”
he added “One thing I observed from that meeting was that you took your time and listened. Your Excellency, you remember that when we were talking about how you were going to finance your Savannah project?.
“We had said that, how are you going to finance it? And then we suggested that we have to go to the (sic) fund, which is being misused, and you listened to us. You remember what you said? You said ‘Knowledge is not in one person’s head’… this showed that you are a listening president.”
"John Mahama is a humble and listening leader"
