Popular television presenter Blessed Godsbrain Smart, also known as Captain Smart, has thanked President John Dramani Mahama following his resignation from Onua TV and Media General.
.The bold announcement came on Monday, May 5, 2025, a day which also marks his birthday.
In a message shared on his official Facebook page on Monday, 5th May, 2025, Captain Smart revealed that he is stepping away from broadcasting and taking a break from media work for up to two years. He thanked President John Dramani Mahama for believing in him. Many believe that Captain Smart has been given an appointment by the President. However, this has not been confirmed yet.
His post, titled “And I Speak With a Heart Full of Gratitude,” served as both a farewell and a message of appreciation to the many people who have played a role in his personal and professional journey.
Captain Smart wrote that his birthday is not just a celebration of age, but a reflection of grace, growth, and God’s favor. He thanked his mother, Aggie Aggie, calling her the “lioness” who fought for him, and his father, Uncle Bob, for giving him strong values and a foundation to fly.
In the post, he also honored former President John Agyekum Kufuor and the late Vice President Alhaji Aliu Mahama for their guidance and belief in him. He expressed appreciation to Mrs. Emma Kissiedu, his Group CEO Beatrice Agyeman, and the management of Media General for giving him the opportunity to grow his voice and influence in the media space.
But one of the most talked-about parts of his message was his direct gratitude to President John Dramani Mahama. Captain Smart wrote, “To President John Dramani Mahama, thank you for believing in me. Your trust is a badge I wear with deep responsibility.” This has fueled speculation that Captain Smart may have been offered a role in the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), especially after his open support for the party during the 2024 general elections.
He also thanked his colleagues, his producer Godwin, his close friends and mentors, and finally his wife and children, describing them as his “tomorrow” and the reason he continues to push forward..
