Ghanaian actor Van Vicker, has given plaudits to President John Dramani Mahama for stabilising the Ghanaian cedi.
In a post he made on his Facebook page on May 28, 2025, the actor urged Ghanaians to acknowledge the President for the appreciation of the cedis against the dollar.
“Mr. President, I must congratulate you on the strengthening of the Ghana cedis on the world market. Ayekoo,” he wrote.
Making reference to some theories being adduced as reasons for the better performance of the cedi, he added: "The true reason could be a consolidation of two or more of - whatever- theories, but be that as it may, the fact remains that the Ghana Cedis is approximately ghc11 to $1 TODAY. It was approximately 17ghc to $1 few months ago."
Van Vicker suggested it would be narcissistic for some Ghanaians, especially those abroad to express unhappiness about the cedi's appreciation.
"This is not a political statement. It is an acknowledgement of a good job done so far. Call a spade a spade. Give credit to whom credit is due,” he indicated.
Contrary to doubts by some people that the cedi might revert to its old value or worse, Van Vicker wrote: “I think the current cedis orbit is remarkable for Ghana as a country and I am optimistic it's sustainable. Your Excellency JM, if you can take us back to 2007, heerrrh like e go be 'kerker'.”
