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.”

Anyone who wrote negatively to the president n the former is a child thinker, your IQ is lower than "imbercile", really with all these comments, in any case if Nana sends JDM, is he not older than him? Some of you kids on the platform behave as if the former president is evil, respect ur, dis is the reason ur lives are always in shambles bcuz of disrespect.
Let me remind you that the President of Liberia, H.E Ellen Johnson has said that, the ECOWA and AU Community will still need the service of JDM. His going to Abuja meeting doesn't mean President Nana Addo, is sending him to represent he the President at the meeting. Assumption of office as President of Ghana do not mean President Nana Addo would automatically take over the role of JDM at the meeting. JDM is now a Stateman, and he belongs to the whole ECOWA and AU not Ghana alone.
The former moderator of the Presbyterian Church of Ghana said it all we now have a wiseman as president....King Solomon...Nana toaso.
Wise move. To those who do not understand the President's action, it is called "Diplomacy". as it i now, though former JDM was part of the process while President and in his official capacity as President (not as private Mahama), he cannot after ceasing to be President continue to act on behalf of Ghana. What he does now officially on behalf off Ghana is at the behest of President Akuffo-Addo. He could have withdrawn JDM and taken the role himself, but you see the moves of a wise man? Ghana first was his motto. Kudos, Nana.
oooh you people on this platform commenting negatively are very interesting paaa!!!, please grow ooo grow
So you turn boy boy be that?
The assignment was given to president John mahama by Ecowas and not Akufo addo. Which of the akufo addos gave the assignment and when. Let peace fm and their likes know that Ghanaians are no longer leaving in the dark. We can read through all the media twist Will try and put on all the issues about akufo addo's government. It will help if you stay neutral and gain some credibility. Call a spade a spade and leave us to be the judges.
I commot hat for you PNADAA.This move be senior Paa.Please the youth are disgracing you paa ohh. first day slap some sense in them we expect order.
Eeii NPP hahaha instead of them to give credit to Mahama for honouring that assignment they quickly turn around and are saying President Nana Addo has brought maturity. Mahama keep the good work.Even though you are now a formal president.
Where are the NPP Supporters who say Mahama is incompetent? even Bawumia who said incompetent mahama where are they? now His Excellency President Nana Addo has assign the incompetent man to go and represent him. Eeii Ghana Hmmm well Ghanaians are watching you(Mahama) and would definitely regret letting you go. The rejected stone has just one day after handing over power become the chief corner stone. Well posterity would judge us all.
