The woman has expressed satisfaction with President Mahama’s leadership
A food vendor at a local market has sparked public debate after a viral video surfaced in which she threatened to protest naked if President John Dramani Mahama refuses to remain in office for what she described as 18 years.
In the video, the woman expressed satisfaction with President Mahama’s leadership, questioning who he would hand over power to if he decides not to continue.
“We will go naked if President Mahama jokes and says he won’t continue for the next 18 years. Who is he leaving us for? The way we are satisfied now, he wants to go and leave us in whose hands?” she said.

Meanwhile, Ghana’s 1992 Constitution clearly limits presidents to two four-year terms, making any suggestion of extended rule unconstitutional.
President Mahama’s renewed popularity follows his re-election after losing the 2016 general election, a political comeback that has earned him praise from sections of Ghanaians.
Many supporters cite what they describe as improved economic management, particularly the relative stability of the US dollar against the Ghana cedi, compared to previous periods of sharp depreciation.
Market traders and small business operators, especially those dealing in imported goods, say the exchange rate stability has helped them plan better and reduce losses.
