Go For “Political Baptism”… Mahama’s Church Member Advises Him

In a light-hearted manner, Dr. Samuel Afriyie humorously suggested that former President John Mahama should undergo a "political baptism" in order for Ghanaians to regain their trust in him. As a senior lecturer at Kumasi Technical University and a member of the same church as Mahama, Dr. Afriyie expressed his skepticism about trusting Mahama politically due to his previous experiences as a vice president and president. However, he playfully emphasized that he does trust Mahama on a religious level since they both attend the same church.

John Mahama needs a political baptism to show us that he is a new person. People don't trust him. He has been vice president and president before, Dr Afriyie said on Wontumi TV.

In conclusion, Dr. Afriyie's comments reflect a combination of humor and skepticism towards John Mahama's political credibility, while also highlighting a personal trust based on their shared religious affiliation.
