John Mahama Not The Alternative

The damage done to this country called Ghana by Nana Addo and his New Patriotic Party government. We can only pull ourselves from this abyss that Ghana find itself by someone who is effective and hungry for power.

The NDC must consider the Economic Intelligence Unit (EIUs) prediction that the National Democratic Congress will win the 2024 elections with a different presidential candidate.

The demeanor of the former President John Mahama is not someone who is hungry for power. even that the Crater created by the Nana Addo's government is so huge that John Mahama doesn't have the capacity to filled it.

The small hole he created in the economy during his tenure of office as the president, he was unable to resolved it, he sought an assistance from the International Monetary Fund, IMF and the citizenry bare all the pain the conditionality came with.

President John Mahama must spare himself further embarrassment, insults and vilification, Other former president in Africa who had the opportunity to be voted back as president didn't achieve much.

Presidents like late Mathieu Kerekou of Benin Republic, General Olushegu Obasanjo and the current president Buhari of Nigeria are typical examples.

President Obasanjo knowing, he didn't achieve much as he expected decided to change the constitution to extend his tenure of office for another term, which was fiercely resisted by the collective force of Nigerians.

The National Democratic Congress is not bereft of astute competent leaders. John Mahama's desire to lead the NDC at all costs has pushed potential candidates into hibernation.

Therefore, Dr Duffuor and Mr Kojo Bonsu must be commended despite all odds against them, they are very resolute in their conviction to lead the National Democratic Congress.

The probability of a different presidential candidate winning the 2024 presidential election for the NDC is very high than the former president John Mahama.

The 2020 general election results attest to it. most of the Members of Parliament are more popular in their constituencies and had more votes than the former president.

It is a fact pressure was mounted by candidate Nana Addo and his loyal militants that forced President John Mahama to sack Victoria Hammah for declaring an intent and threatened Dr Kwabena Donkor who almost completed the tasks he set for himself to resign.

The NDC have a presumptive leader and Members of Parliament who doesn't have that impetus to keep the NPP government on it toes and allowed this government to flout all rules with impunity...

Is it not strange some people to think President John Mahama whose action and inaction caused the NDC the crushing defeats of 2016 as the alternative for the 2024 presidential election.

2024 general elections is very crucial to the survival of the NDC. Nana Addo will not be on the ballot, therefore, let's buried blind loyalty for scientific pragmatism........
