Brigadier General Nunoo Mensah says former President John Dramani Mahama has “nothing” to offer Ghanaians again in his decision to contest the presidency in 2020.
He called on Mr Mahama to “go and sleep” after calming that his tenure as president wasn’t the best.
“He [John Mahama] said he wants to be president again. What is he coming to do for the people again? He had his chance and couldn’t use it to change things,” the former National Security advisor said.
Former President John Mahama has declared his interest to contest the 2020 elections on the ticket of the main opposition National Democratic Congress [NDC].
Mr Mahama who had earlier been coy about his interest for the slot noted that he has reflected on the numerous calls on him to contest and will not disappoint his supporters.
But many have called on him to reconsider his decision to contest the NDC flagbearership in November.
Academic and founder of AUCC, Kojo Yankah recently urged the former President to accept his current statesmanship status and leave the race.
Speaking on NEAT FM’s morning show dubbed ‘Ghana Montie’, Brigadier General Nunoo Mensah said Mr Mahama was rejected by Ghanaians during the 2016 elections because he failed – hence, his comeback is unnecessary.
“What else does he want?” he questioned
According to him, “Mahama should go to where he lost and ask the people if they are still interested in him and ready to vote for him. Staying in Accra thinking he is the favorite is a mistake. He failed that is why the people rejected him.”
“I don’t care who becomes president as long as the country is moving forward, I am okay,” he added.

Mahama lost because this same old man called NUNOO.Mahama don't allow them to be part of your team again.
Nunoo Mensah was part of the ingrates who let the second most visionary president of Ghana Mahama down with his "IF THE KITCHEN IS TOO HOT FOR YOU GET OUT" talk. He should have been fired on the very day he said that. Now he has the gust to ill advice Mahama after taking monies from Konadu Agyeman Rawlings and Akufool Addo.
Oh Mr Nunoo you've said it all.Our former Prezoo did very well in only infrastructural.With our current situation this gov is failing in enconomics .They are turning the system into "taxization" economy which is making things hard for the ordinary person .The lazy or not serious GRA is making things worse for the few who are paying .NDC should look for another person for Prez Mahama failed in most cases .He made corruption very delightful and even affected moral life in Ghana.
mahama will spend his time at the supreme court in 2021. if nana addo and npp will allow mahama to come back to power again then there is something they know that we dont know.
Because he asked you to go home and enjoy your last days. You better sleep first.
It is true. Mahama has nothing to offer. His coming is centred on giving back to his brother Ibrahim the contract the NPP revoked.If he could be once again be a president for a week would help him accomplish his plan to transfer the wealth of the country to his family. Stealers! he has nothing to offer!
You think this greeeeedy basstarrdd will listen to you. Clueless NDC as if Mahama is indispensable. In the very unlikely situation that he wins, what becomes of the NDC after 4 years since he is the 'soul and body' of the party.
Noise maker. What legacy did you leave behind after your service. You said worse things to Nana and he finally won. Always wants to be in the limelight.
As usual we will argue over unnecessary issues.what thus the former president wont at all that he could not help mills and himself to do for the 8 years that he was given the opportunity. They say leave when the applus is high. he contributed his bit but the young men will not find a new carrier path and still think the state shd feed them which 2020 will not allow. bet me
Brig! You were brought to NDC by Millls, Mahama was not under any obligation to retain you. You were not relevant to his cards. He dropped you! Come and contest so that you appoint thoese you want. Shmaeeeeeooooshameeee. Stomackpolitician Mahama is coming whether you like it or not
