George Boateng has been called names � some believe he is �Mad�, others insist he is a �serious� person with a sound mind � but his possible competitor, President John Mahama has never uttered a word to take too lightly George�s determination to be included in the presidential primaries.
That shows maturity when politics is your �profession� � NPP�s Sir John will always say � �Fear delegates� � that is to say fear electorates.
Whereas the NDC�s Chief Scribe, Johnson Asiedu Nketiah is publicly questioning his party�s Oyarifa Branch Youth Organizer�s mental status to contest as a president on the ticket of the �Umbrella� party � some aides of President Mahama are �secretly� in talks with George to amicably solve issues with him.
The strong-willed presidential aspirant made this known on NEAT FM morning show 'Ghana Montie' - according to him, President Mahama is yet to personally call him but his aides are doing negotiations on his behalf.
�The president hasn�t called me, but people close to the president were asked to pick me up for discussion. I will not disclose the person [�but he is a minister] now but I will surely do that when the need arise.
�..We will be meeting again...The person told me the president would like to meet me but I don�t know when,� he told host Kwasi Aboagye.�
George Boateng who claims the president wants him to drop his ambition says � �I will not step down for him [President Mahama] despite the fruitful conversation with his aide.�
To him � he will only step aside for the President under some conditions � �The president must sack all his corrupt ministers and change the face of Ghana�s ailing economy. Again he must reduce petrol price. Until that, I am not backing out.�
