John Mahama's own statement indicts him. Whatever his motives for saying so, convicts him. John Mahama is guilty from his statement. He and his boss Atta-Mills should recuse themselves, for the very reason he made the statement, "No one has the divine right to rule". They are really a pain in the back of majority Ghanaians. He must advise his boss that they don't have the divine right to rule. His statement had said it all.
