Joyce Bawah Mogtari, the Special Aide and Senior Presidential Advisor to
President John Dramani Mahama, has lauded his recent appearance in military
uniform, describing it as a patriotic gesture in support of Ghana’s Armed
Forces. Her statement, shared on Facebook on April 11, came in response to public
interest following Mahama’s attendance at the graduation ceremony of the
Regular Career Course 63 officers of the Ghana Military Academy.
Mahama, the former president and current Commander-in-Chief, wore full
military regalia at the official event, a move that quickly drew national
attention and sparked a wave of positive reactions across social media
platforms. Bawah Mogtari emphasized that his outfit was more than ceremonial—it
was a clear expression of solidarity and national pride.
“Today, our Commander-in-Chief, President John Dramani Mahama, appeared in
full military regalia as a symbol of patriotism and in solidarity with the
Ghana Military Academy,” she posted, praising his commitment to national unity
and his respect for Ghana’s security services.
Many have since described Mahama’s presence as a source of inspiration for
the newly commissioned officers. His appearance at the ceremony not only showed
his continued engagement with the armed forces but also served to uplift morale
at a time when national unity is seen as crucial.
This display of support for the military came at a moment when discussions
around security, governance, and democratic strength have intensified across
the country. For several observers, the former president’s decision to wear
military attire was a fitting gesture that communicated his deep-rooted respect
for the men and women in uniform.
Mahama’s choice to wear the uniform was interpreted by many as a way of
honoring the legacy and discipline of the Ghana Armed Forces. It also
reinforced his connection to national service, even while not in active office.
The symbolic appearance has since gone viral, with a significant number of
social media users expressing admiration for the gesture. It was widely
regarded as an affirmation of national values and the importance of leadership
in times of change.
As public discourse continues around patriotism and national unity, Mahama’s
gesture has been embraced by many as timely and meaningful, reflecting
leadership that stands in step with those who protect the nation.
