Do You Have To Occupy A Position Before You Can Assess Somebody In That Position?

As his usual fiery speeches, John Mahama lambasted leaders of NPP especially Dr Mahamadu Bawumiah, saying he did not know what is meant to be president. And had not held any position that come close to the work of the president.

Mahama went on to say that the leaders of NPP doesn't know what it means to be president. The president also condemned what he said were useless insults directed at him by members of the opposition.

This statement from the president is most unfortunate, sad, irresponsible and unbefitting of a president. The president's statement shows that indeed he is incompetent. Sometimes it's painful the president of Ghana advise himself before making such statements.

It's unfortunate president Mahama contradicts himself. Bawumiah has not been president before and hence cannot judge your competency. However Ghanaians will judge your competency come 2016. But almost 98 percent of Ghanaians he talks about have been nowhere near the presidency save two.

With high taxes, money from oil, cocoa, gold, and unprecedented borrowing, yet you can't manage the economy. Almost all the social interventions like GETFund, Capitation Grants, School Feeding Program, NHIS providers etc are suffering from Koshioko. What happened to the over GHc 90 billion you have borrowed?

This is incompetent, corruption, and mismanagement. Dr Bawumiah is right, the NDC government under your leadership is really incompetent. You promised to end the power crises by the end of your first year in office. You have not solved it by the end of your third year, should we hail you as competent?

For insults, please don't be a hypocrite and advise the babies with sharp teeth like Okudzeto Ablakwa, Fiifi Kwartey, Ofosu Kwakye, Twum Boafo and the macho man at the presidency, Stan Dogbe.Who insults more than the General Secretary of NDC, Asiedu Nketia. The president is naked.

There are things as president he shouldn't be saying. Was he a president when he was criticizing president Kuffour's presidency. These cheap remarks and propaganda isn't good on you as a president John Mahama, need I remind you by these utterances, you are eroding the respect of the presidency. I am sad and ashamed. But come 2016, Ghanaians will vote John Mahama and the NDC out and bring back the respect of the presidency.
