A member of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP), Nana Akomea, has reiterated the readiness of the party in facing the opposition National Democratic Congress, and for that matter, former President John Mahama.
He has vowed to make sure that Mr. Mahama would not realise his presidential ambition in 2024.
In an interview on Peace FM on Tuesday, Nana Akomea said the NDC delegates would definitely vote for Mr. Mahama as their next presidential candidate for the 2024 polls on Saturday to face the NPP’s candidate.
However, he stated emphatically that the NPP would release a full dossier of how Mr. Mahama mismanaged the country when he was president.
According to him, by the time the NPP would finish their thorough campaign against Mr. Mahama, no voter in the country would have the interest or desire to vote for Mr. Mahama.
“We are waiting for you. After NDC’s election on Saturday, the NPP would open fire on Mahama. The NDC presidential election is a forgone conclusion for Mahama as he will easily emerge victorious when the party goes to polls to elect their flagbearer on Saturday.
“After his victory, we (NPP) will release a full dossier of the negative records of Mr. Mahama when he was Ghana’s president for one-term. His track record as president is very bad,” he added
Nothing new
Nana Akomea further indicated Mahama has nothing new to offer Ghanaians should he be elected as President, stressing that “Mahama would lead the NDC to another defeat in 2024”.
“Mahama will win the NDC presidential primaries on Saturday because the NDC members and delegates have him at heart. But the danger is that, Ghanaians would reject Mahama,” he added.
Nana Akomea also recounted how Mr. Mahama lost by over one million votes during the 2016 elections, saying “that alone shows how he performed badly as President”.
He said Mr. Mahama lost the 2016 polls with over one million votes margin, which is a record in Ghana and Africa, saying “no sitting President in Africa has lost by that huge margin before”.
He expressed the hope that: “Any candidate that the NPP will eventually elect as its flagbearer for the 2024 election, would easily beat Mahama and the NDC”.
“I’m saying this because the NPP is coming with a new person and the NDC is coming with the same Mahama, who is noted for mismanagement, so Ghanaians would reject him,” he stressed.
