Ghana’s former Attorney-General, Martin Alamisi Burns Kaiser Amidu, has thrown his support for the National Democratic Congress’ (NDC) John Dramani Mahama, ahead of Saturday’s polls.
He says his support stems from his assessment of the two candidates from the two main political parties, making him conclude that Ghana stands a better chance to progress if Mahama leads in the next four years.
Amidu contends it is only Mahama whose government can scrutinise the “economic mess” the Akufo-Addo/Bawumia administration will leave behind.
In his latest epistle released Wednesday, December 03, 2024, Martin Amidu, who is also Ghana’s former Special Prosecutor, indicated that the Vice President is a “clone and poodle” of President Akufo-Addo, making him unfit to govern on his own, and even audit the very mess he contributed in creating.
“Ghana needs a President from one of the two dominant political parties who can audit the economic mess the Nana Akufo-Addo/Bawumia inept government is going to leave behind.
“I have demonstrated herein before that Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia is a clone and poodle of the incumbent President and is incapable of doing such an audit. With Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, it is the same old wine in a new bottle! We may as well put lipstick on a pig, as the saying goes,” portions of his write up contained.
He contended that although Mahama is not a saint, he is not controlled by anybody, adding that his experience as a former President places him in a better position to hold the current administration accountable.
“John Dramani Mahama is not a saint, but he is nobody’s poodle. He has the experience as a former President to audit the mess the Nana Akufo-Addo/ Bawumia government will leave behind.
“I have had problems with John Dramani Mahama in the past which are documented on my website. The constitutional situation on our hands, however, demands pragmatism to ensure probity and accountability after an eight year tenure of government,” Amidu added.
