He added that this helps the communication team refine its approach.<\/p>\n<p>The Minister explained that Mr Mahama\u2019s involvement is not controlling but supportive. He said the former president\u2019s experience is an asset he draws from regularly. <\/p>\n<p>Mr Kwakye Ofosu emphasised that the guidance he receives is practical, steady and rooted in years of leadership in public service.<\/p>\n<p>Asked whether Mr Mahama had ever coached him directly, Kwakye Ofosu said the former president took a personal interest in him in his early years in politics. <\/p>\n<p>The Abura Asebu-Kwamankese MP recalled how Mr Mahama urged him to be civil, patient and respectful whenever he spoke to the public. <\/p>\n<p>He said this advice has shaped his conduct throughout his career. He noted that Mr Mahama continues to encourage teamwork by asking his colleagues to support the communication outfit.<\/p>\n<p>The comments come at a time when the communication strategies of political actors are under constant public scrutiny. <\/p>\n<p>Mr Mahama gained national prominence as a communicator before rising through the political ranks. <\/p>\n<p>From his days as an information minister to his later roles in Parliament, the vice presidency and the presidency, he became known for his measured tone and clarity. <\/p>\n<p>It is this legacy that Kwakye Ofosu says continues to inspire how he carries out his duties.<\/p>\n<p>He stressed that having a former president who understands communication is an advantage. He said he benefits from Mr Mahama\u2019s insight and depth. <\/p>\n<p>The Government spokesperson described it as a blessing to be guided by someone who knows how public messaging shapes perceptions.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Kwakye Ofosu said this steady hand helps keep the communication machinery focused as Ghana heads into another competitive political season. <\/p>\n<p>He believes the guidance he receives strengthens the consistency and credibility of their work.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n        <div class=\"booster-block booster-reactions-block\">\n            <div class=\"twp-reactions-icons\">\n
