“I take my promises seriously. My word is my bond,” President John Mahama declared in a national address on Wednesday night as he delivered a high-stakes review of his first 120 days back in office.
Speaking with measured confidence, he said he had not only heard the cries of Ghanaians but had responded with swift and deliberate action.
“We laid out a social contract with you, the people of Ghana, with specific promises for this critical initial period. Tonight, I report that we have fulfilled these promises.”
From restructuring government to battling illegal mining, President Mahama said his administration was not in office for ceremony but for serious business.
“These actions are not merely checkboxes on a list,” he emphasised.
“They signify a fundamental shift in how government operates – with transparency, accountability, efficiency, and a profound sense of urgency for the well-being of every Ghanaian.”
President Mahama pointed to achievements such as forming a lean government, enforcing a strict code of conduct for public officials, and removing “burdensome taxes” that had stifled individuals and businesses.

“We have launched major job creation programmes, streamlined scholarships, supported vulnerable populations, and held our security agencies accountable,” he said.
In an address that sought to rekindle hope and rally unity, President Mahama acknowledged that the road ahead was long but insisted the groundwork was firm.
“Although we have established a solid foundation in these first 120 days, considerable work remains on the journey to realise the Ghana we desire.”
Calling for national unity and collective ownership of the rebuilding process, the President said, “This journey requires the collective effort of all.
“I am profoundly grateful for the mandate you have given me and my government. Your trust is our most valued asset, and we will continue to work tirelessly to deserve it.”
President Mahama’s speech, heavy on results and resolve, ended with a passionate call to action.
“Let us continue to work together, united by purpose and a shared vision, to overcome challenges and build a brighter, more prosperous future for our beloved nation.”
