Ghana’s President, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo- Addo would be unable to attend an ECOWAS mini-summit at The Gambia today.
For this reason, he has designated his immediate predecessor, President Mahama to represent him at the summit. Before retiring from office, President Mahama had been instrumental in mediating the current political situation in The Gambia.
In a statement signed and copied to Peacefmonline.com by the Acting Director of Communications of the Golden Jubilee House, Mr. Eugene Arhin, it noted that President Akufo- Addo “is of the view that the continuing involvement of former President Mahama in the mediation process in the Gambia would assist the process.”

Mahama is not competent to be president. He is good for some of errands anyway.

HIS EXCELLENCY NANA ADDO DANQUAH I RONNIE SALUTE U WITH THE GRATERS RESPECT TOO. U HAVE SHOWN A TRUE STATESMAN. #1GHANA
Kafui Adzoku is Mahama now competent enough to represent Nana Addo? Interesting times ahead.
Mahama is already a co - mediator, thus he would be chairing the meeting which Prez Nana is supposed to attend. Nana only excused himself. he is not sending anyone on errands. Free education is coming
I SALUTE YOU MR. PRESIDENT!!! JDM's assistance will truly make the process easier. After all he has already began representing the country in the process and best he follows through to the end. We only await an outstanding report. GOD BLESS GHANA !!!
Send Mr. Competent, Bawumia and let Mahama rest
Well done President Nana for appointing the most competent person for such a difficult job and this indicative of no-bias and purely on merit. No one is better qualified to do this job than President Mahama . I also congratulate President Mahama for his magnanimity in accepting the role;in times of crises are political differences do no matter; what matters is a collective sense of purpose,putting the interests of Ghana before our party or personal interests. What the two gentlemen have done deserves commendation and should further send a strong message to Jammeh that you can have power even after loosing power. Good move guys.
You see your smoothness level Mahama, now you are Nana Addo's errand boy?
If he is incompetent as you say, just retire him. Incompetent indeed. If you are competent go with your neck, you will see where power lies
