Mahama praises Ovation’s coverage of NDC projects
President John Dramani Mahama has praised Ovation
Magazine for pushing his better Ghana agenda with
its platform.

President Mahama noted that pictures speak a
thousand words adding that the pictorial coverage
of his work by “a reputable magazine like
Ovation, will speak many more words than many of
us can speak even on the campaign trail.”

He was speaking at the launchof a special edition
of the Ovation International lifestyle magazine
which narrowed in on the work his National
Democratic Congress (NDC) government has been
doing to transform Ghana.

President Mahama further expressed hope that he
would have the opportunity for an extensive

“So definitely I’m sure that when I,
eventually by the grace of God after 2021 do
another Ovation with Dele, we’ll have more time
to spend and probably do a more extensive cover
than we have, but this is impressive and I would
want to thank Dele and his team for the very
wonderful work that they have done.”

“And so I want to thank Dele and his team
especially my friend the photographer, Dragon,”
he said and elaborated some of his governments
achievements since 2013 and proceeded to launch
the magazine.

Mahama deserves praise

The publisher of Ovation and businessman, Nigerian
Chief Dele Momodu believes that President Mahama
deserves praise for his good works across Ghana.

He said the president has “done a great job”
in leading and developing Ghana’s
infrastructure.

“People read politics into everything but
frankly speaking, there is so much to celebrate
about President Mahama. He has done a great job. I
have traveled extensively across the Africa and
Ghana is working, Ghana is rising and it is our
duty to celebrate Ghana,” he said.

Speaking about the interview in Ovation where
President Mahama alleged that a cabal had taken
control of the media in Ghana and were blocking
his transformation message, Chief Momodu said his
assessment shows that Mahama has done more to
develop the country.

Some Ghanaians have criticized the Ovation
Magazine for consistently highlighting the
positive developments under the Mahama-led
administration without criticizing the government
but according to Chief Momodu, the magazine is a
celebrity and lifestyle magazine that is not
obliged to highlight negativity.

“I think President Mahama has done well and as a
lifestyle magazine, ours is to cover the beauty of
Ghana. It is a news magazine that you can accused
of being biased,” he said.

He further discounted claims that he was being
paid by government to represent the President in
positive light through his media to push for his
[Mahama’s] reelection in the upcoming December
elections.
