However, his supporters have also been quick to offer criticisms when certain actions have not aligned with expectations or favorable outcomes.
A recent example of such criticisms occurred on March 7, 2025, during President Mahama’s visit to the flood-stricken areas of Ketu South, which were severely impacted by tidal waves.
Several towns have been submerged by rising sea levels, primarily due to the absence of a proper sea defense system to protect the communities.
In response, various government officials, along with Ibrahim Mahama, a businessman, and the president’s brother, visited the affected areas to assess the extent of the damage.
However, an incident that sparked widespread debates and conversations on social media occurred when the president was seen being driven around the affected communities by his brother, Ibrahim Mahama.
This moment generated significant criticisms, with some arguing that it was inappropriate and unacceptable for the president, a high-profile figure, to be driven around by his brother without the usual security protocols in place.
Critics raised concerns that such a lapse could potentially compromise the president’s security and undermine established protocols.
On the other hand, some netizens have defended the president’s actions, arguing that there was no real threat to his safety or security.
They emphasised that the gesture demonstrated humility, with the president allowing his brother to serve as his chauffeur—a move they felt reflected a level of inclusivity and freedom not seen under previous administrations.
They also noted how this incident reflects and represents a true change in government.
Here are some social media reactions to this most recent incident between President Mahama and his younger brother, Ibrahim Mahama:
