Van Vicker applauds Mahama for cedi appreciation against dollar

Ghanaian actor Van Vicker praised President John Dramani Mahama. He commended the President for stabilizing the Ghanaian cedi.

On May 28, 2025, he posted on Facebook. He urged Ghanaians to recognize the President's efforts. The cedi has appreciated against the dollar.

“Mr. President, I must congratulate you on the strengthening of the Ghana cedis on the world market. Ayekoo,” he wrote.

He mentioned theories explaining the cedi's better performance. "The true reason could be a mix of these theories," he said. However, he noted that today, one dollar equals about 11 cedis. A few months ago, it was around 17 cedis to one dollar.

Van Vicker criticized Ghanaians abroad who are unhappy with this change. He called it narcissistic to complain about the cedi's appreciation.

"This is not a political statement," he clarified. "It is an acknowledgment of a good job done so far." He emphasized giving credit where it's due.

Despite some doubts about future stability, Van Vicker remains optimistic. “I think the current cedis orbit is remarkable for Ghana,” he stated. He believes it can be sustained and hopes for further improvement under President Mahama’s leadership.
