John Dramani Mahama, the flag bearer of the opposition NDC, was a bad news for Ghana then, so would he be for the country now, if given another opportunity, Richard Ahiagbah, the Director of Communications for the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP), has cautioned.
Mr. Ahiagbah has advised Ghanaians not to fall for John Mahama’s attempt to rebrand himself as a new person ahead of the 2024 elections.
He has cautioned Ghanaians against voting for the National Democratic Congress in order not to return to the hardship Mahama subjected the nation into, leading to his woeful defeat in the 2016 general elections.
The NPP’s Communication Director has said the former President’s abysmal performance is the reason Ghanaians should not allow themselves to be swayed to give him another opportunity to worsen their plight.
In a Saturday, May 18, 2024 post on X, Mr. Ahiagbah said John Mahama’s leadership was detrimental to the nation’s progress then and would continue to be so if given another opportunity.
“H.E. John Mahama was a one-term president because he was incompetent and brought untold hardship to Ghanaians. As a result of that incompetence, Ghanaians sent him home in 2016. So, let’s not be tricked by Mahama’s 2024 rebranding; he is the same old tried-and-failed Mahama. He was bad news for Ghana then, and he will be bad news for Ghana now,” Ahiagbah said in a social media post.”
Instead, Mr. Ahiagbah urged Ghanaians to support Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, whom he believes is the beacon of hope and progress for Ghana, portraying him as a capable leader poised to steer the nation toward a brighter future with innovative and decisive solutions.
“Bawumia is the future. Bawumia is capable and would catalyse Ghana’s next chapter with bold solutions,” he said.
