Former president John Dramani Mahama will be decorated with the African Political Leader of the Year Award in South Africa today, February 23, 2017.
The African Leadership Magazine is awarding him for his contribution towards deepening and enriching Ghana’s democracy and his towering status as one of Africa’s best. Mahama is also expected to deliver the keynote address at the African Leadership Magazine (ALM) Person of the Year 2016 Awards Programme in Johannesburg.
The former President will be speaking on the theme, “How can Africa win the progress race?”
The ALM Person of the Year Awards, according to the organizers, is in keeping with a tradition of presenting the positive sides of the African continent, which hardly finds space on the global stage. It will also celebrate exemplary leadership and individuals who have contributed to shaping the global perception of the African continent.
In the words of the Chairman of the International Advisory board of the ALM Awards, Ambassador Joe Beasley, “it is gratifying to know that Africa still has leaders like you bestriding the political space.”
He also noted that Mr. Mahama made significant contributions to Ghana’s economic growth and development; spearheaded and completed some ambitious projects; went into the elections and respected the wishes of the electorate – a feat uncommon amongst many leaders in the continent.
“Africa has found in you and leaders like you, the perfect Apostles of Good Governance and Democracy, who would help in spreading the gospel to the rest of the continent.”
Mr. Mahama will also be presented with the Georgia Congressional Commendation from the Georgia Legislative Black Caucus during the event.

Well, Well, Well! That's Africa for you! The awarding group should just come to Ghana and see the ROT and the MESS he has left behind him - reason for his being a one-term President. I wonder what the measuring criteria is for such a distasteful conclusion. Anyway, Africa leaders like him can eulogise him but we Ghanaians have our own ideas and weights of measurement. I hear Onaapo resounding!!!
That I my President. President Mahama I salute you
THAT'S MY ROLE MODEL. YOUR EXCELLENCY, MOTHER GHANA IS PROUD OF YOU. GO HIGH SIR, WE LOVE U SO MUCH. CONGRATULATIONS.ITS THE WILL OF GOD. KEEP ON LOOKING UP TO HIM.
JM ONAAPO!!
Congratulations Mr.JM you deserve it. To God be the Glory. NPP should learn very very well from this man. We love you
To God Be the Glory and posterity will judge us all for the insult and humiliation on this gentleman.
Congrats my dear Ex President. We love you.
Haters will continue to be Haters just saying congratulations won't take anything from you... Please learn to appreciate others.. You guys always talk as if you are sitting at the right hand of the chief justice... Change your behaviour so that Ghana can move forward JM congratulations
We congratulate you Mr. Mahama. NDC must learn a lesson from Akufo Ado. When Kufour left office and was due to be given Moh Ibrahim award, these NDC boys with sharp teeth said all wrong things about Kufour to the extent that he didn't get the award. But NPP has always backed persons in NDC to get higher positions in Africa and the world example, Ibn Chambas,the recent Africa vice chairperson and Mahama himself
Bueiii...GH Barry white.Lol. SA can keep him afterwards wai.
