Okatakyie Afrifa-Mensah Raises Concerns Over Ibrahim Mahama Driving Former President
Renowned political analyst, Okatakyie Afrifa-Mensah, has openly criticized businessman Ibrahim Mahama for personally driving his brother, former President John Dramani Mahama. According to him, the act was inappropriate and posed potential security risks.
Speaking in a recent interview, Afrifa-Mensah questioned why a former president would be driven by a private individual rather than security professionals. He emphasized that such actions could compromise the safety and dignity of a former head of state.
"It is shocking that a whole former president is being driven by his brother instead of security personnel. This is not about luxury but about protocol and protection," he stated.
Public Reaction: Mixed Opinions on Social Media
Afrifa-Mensah’s statement has triggered reactions from Ghanaians, with opinions divided. While some agree that security protocols should be followed strictly, others argue that there is nothing wrong with a brother driving his sibling.
"The man just wants to be comfortable around his family. What’s the big deal?" one social media user commented.
Another countered, saying, "Afrifa is right! A former president should not be driven around like an ordinary person. Security is key!"
The Bigger Picture: Security and Protocol for Former Leaders
This incident highlights a broader conversation about the security and movement of Ghana’s past and present leaders. Experts argue that even in private settings, former presidents should be accompanied by well-trained security professionals to ensure their safety.
The question remains: Should family members be allowed to drive former presidents, or should security personnel handle this role at all times?
The debate over this issue continues, with Ghanaians sharing different perspectives on the matter. Whether this is a security oversight or simply a personal decision remains open for discussion.
