Renowned educationist, Prof Stephen Adei, has congratulated President John Mahama on the completion of his first 120-day term in office, saying the president has performed well.

Speaking on JoyNews' Newsdesk on Wednesday, 7th May, ahead of the president's address on the 120-day social contract he had with Ghanaians, Prof Adei highlighted that, from an objective perspective, the president has made commendable progress during the short period.

"As much as I congratulate John on his 120-day, and anybody who is objective would say he has done very well, we hope he will be able to continue and sustain it, make corrections of any lapses, and deliver the Ghana we want."

President Mahama’s forthcoming address is expected to outline his achievements and the plans for the future, as part of his commitment to engage the nation on his governance approach.

Meanwhile, he has urged the public to exercise caution in offering praise to the president for his performance.

"We must be very careful over praising John in 120 days. Because in the first term of Akufo-Addo, I think that he performed very well and then everybody's hopes were dashed.... and I think that Akufo-Addo's government in the second term did so badly," he said.
