Former appointee of the Mahama administration and erstwhile Ghana Consul General to Dubai under the same regime, Daniel Osei, has shot down his former boss’ decision to contest the flagbearership of the party.
Ambassador Daniel Osei thinks his boss is super incompetent to lead the party or become the head of state of Ghana for the second time.
Ambassador Osei’s stance pinnacles the perceived division within the party’s hierarchy over Mr. Mahama’s subtle declaration that he was going to contest.
Others hopefuls before him including Alban Sumani Bagbin, Spio Garbrah, some political analysts including Thomas Boabeng have all raised issues about Mr Mahama wanting to contest but on the other hand, the likes of Allotey Jacobs, Victor Smith and other top executives are also rooting for the former president.
However, Mr. Osei is labeling those rooting for the former president as opportunists seeking to enrich themselves from Mahama’s coffers.
He revealed that Mr. Mahama is the one running the show because he is in a better place financially, mentioning recent activities including the famous ‘unity walks’ as an example of how the ex-president is running the show.
He alleged that other aspirants have been sidelined in the ‘unity walk’ activities because they do not have the financial muscle.
For him, serious issues on the party’s table that need to be addressed include repairing broken relationships among others.
But Mr. Allotey Jacobs disagrees. He insists Mahama is the best choice for the party despite accusations of him being grossly incompetent and corrupt.
Meanwhile, loud mouth Kennedy Agyapong has joined in the fray, condemning the Mahama legacy.
According to him, John Mahama remains an easy opponent for the New Patriotic Party.

I am sad because even though I like NPP, I also think that in electing a president there should be serious competition amongst the candidate. If Ghanaians rejected former president Mahama by such a humiliating defeat then logically he is not good and what can he do for us to trust him. I think that NDC as a party should know by now that 2020 is still for NPP. Ghanaians would prefer a new face to former president Mahama even if President Addo's term is over.
MAHAMA IF USED AS THE FLAG BEARER OF NDC IN THE 2020 ELECTIONS, WILL BE A DISASTER FOR THE LARGEST OPPOSITION PARTY IN OUR COUNTRY. MAHAMA LACKS INTEGRITY AND MAJORITY OF GHANAIANS KNOW THAT
Truth stands... John Ford Mahama is not fit to be president again... he has no legacy apart from corruption such as bus branding and double salary payment to his appointees. The guy is a conman, simple
jdm is our president for 2020 . nooo shaken
Prez. Akuffo Addo will beat MAHAMA again come election 2020.Your people are going IN and OUT of court and you think Ghanaians will vote for NDC?As far as JM continue to lead them they will loss every ELECTION.What he did in the 8yrs is following HIM.
