The Managing Director of Intercity State Transport Corporation (STC), Nana Akomea, has predicted that a John Mahama candidature will present the easiest competition in the 2020 elections.
He noted that compared to others aspiring to lead the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the next general election, former President Mahama seemed the weakest force to contend with.
Nana Akomea, the former Communications Director of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), indicated that the performance of former President Mahama, which he described as poor, gives Ghanaians the option to compare wit Nana Akufo-Addo-led administration’s performance in 2020.
“In the case of former President Mahama, if he said he’s going to do something, there is a track record of what he said, what he did or could not do during the term as President while the other candidates come with a clean sheet with no reference to hold them to.
“When the record of a John Mahama’s Presidency is compared with Akufo-Addo’s, the outcome will favour the NPP, despite experts’ argument that former President Mahama performed better at infrastructural development.
“The John Mahama record is not just about infrastructure because it is in the light of the supposed infrastructure that he suffered the heaviest defeat of an incumbent President,
any other NDC presidential candidate can come and capitalise on perceived omissions of the Akufo-Addo-led administration to make all kinds of lofty claims and promises with no record of them to be referenced to.
“I will advised some NPP members to be careful about doing things that can be misinterpreted the NPP is afraid of a John Mahama candidature, NPP should be praying quietly for former President Mahama to emerge as presidential candidate for the NDC to
juxtapose former President Mahama to anything he promises the electorate,” Nana Akomea pointed out. –myjoyonline.com
