Sewfi Bodi MP, Sampson Ahi, attributes Black Stars’ recent success to President Mahama’s fatherly advice
Sampson Ahi, the Member of Parliament for Sewfi Bodi, has spoken out about the invaluable role President John Dramani Mahama played in the Black Stars’ recent success during their 2026 World Cup qualifying matches against Chad and Madagascar.
Ahi praised Mahama for offering “fatherly advice” to the Black Stars players, asserting that the former president’s guidance was a key factor in Ghana’s victory in both matches.
In the aftermath of the Black Stars’ impressive 5-0 and 3-0 wins over Chad and Madagascar, respectively, the Sewfi Bodi MP expressed his belief that the leadership and support Mahama provided to the team helped fuel their confidence and drive. The victories have significantly boosted Ghana’s hopes of securing a spot in the 2026 FIFA World Cup, and Ahi has been quick to recognize Mahama’s pivotal role in the team’s outstanding performances.
Ahi’s comments came during an interview in which he reflected on the Black Stars’ recent achievements. The MP emphasized that Mahama’s fatherly presence and words of encouragement had a profound impact on the players.
Sampson Ahi further elaborated that Mahama’s approach to motivating the Black Stars wasn’t just about tactical advice but about inspiring the players to stay focused, disciplined, and committed to representing Ghana with pride. Mahama’s experience as a leader and his personal connection to the team, having consistently supported the Black Stars over the years, gave his advice a weight that resonated deeply with the players.
The Sewfi Bodi MP noted that during critical moments of the qualifiers, such as ahead of the games against Chad and Madagascar, Mahama’s presence at training sessions and his motivational talks with the squad encouraged the players to remain composed and focused under pressure.
