As the clock ticks toward April 24, excitement is already building around the milestone 60th birthday of Hon. Julius Debrah, the Chief of Staff to President John Dramani Mahama.

But even before the day arrives, glowing tributes are pouring in, signaling the weight of his influence at the heart of government.

Leading the charge is Enock Akonnor, Managing Editor of Leaky News Ghana Online, has issued a strong and celebratory statement ahead of the occasion, praising the seasoned political figure while urging him toward even greater national impact.

“Some leaders are celebrated for occupying office but others are celebrated for how they perform in it,” Akonnor declared.

“Hon. Julius Debrah belongs to the latter. I wish him a happy 60th birthday in advance and pray that he continues to age with grace, strength, and wisdom.”

Turning 60 is often described as a defining milestone; one that reflects experience, endurance, and legacy.

For Hon. Debrah, it also represents years of navigating the intricate corridors of power, managing the demanding responsibilities of the presidency, and helping shape the direction of governance in Ghana.

Political watchers say his role as Chief of Staff places him at the nerve center of decision-making where strategy meets execution.

From coordinating government business to ensuring policy alignment, his influence stretches far beyond public view, making his effectiveness both critical and consequential.

Akonnor did not shy away from highlighting this reality, describing his performance as “fantastic” and “worthy of celebration.” Yet, he paired the praise with a compelling national challenge.

“This milestone should not only be a moment of celebration but also a turning point,” he emphasized. “Ghanaians should expect more leadership, more impact, and more results that will resonate across every sector of national life.”

He further noted that Hon. Debrah’s calm demeanor and administrative strength have contributed to stability within the presidency, a factor many believe is essential in navigating Ghana’s current socio-political landscape.

As messages of goodwill continue to gather momentum ahead of the big day, tomorrow’s celebration is shaping up to be more than just a birthday, it is fast becoming a symbol of recognition, expectation, and renewed purpose.

At 60, Hon. Julius Debrah stands not at the twilight of influence, but at a powerful intersection of experience and opportunity. And as Enock Akonnor’s message makes clear, the celebration may be in advance—but the call for greater impact is right on ttime.
