President John Dramani Mahama has opined that Nana Akufo-Addo’s running mate, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia will never be given the opportunity to lead the party "should anything happen".
"Let anything happen today and let our brother Bawumia say he is standing for president in NPP. They will never give it to him, I can assure you..." he indicated.
Addressing party supporters in Lawra as part of his campaign tour of the Upper West Region, President Mahama said: “Alhaji Aliu Mahama was vice president under the NPP government. He served faithfully under President Kufuor and, so, when eight years was up and President Kufuor was leaving, the natural order of succession is that he should have been given the opportunity to lead that party, but 17 people contested him and defeated him and that is why I say NDC is a party of opportunity because if NDC wasn’t, who am I? A boy from Bole born in Damango, who am I to stand here and call myself president of the Republic of Ghana?”
“Sometimes I feel sad when I see some of our northern brothers running around and also doing this. … They will use you and dump you. I want to live and see the day. Let anything happen today and let our brother Bawumia say he is standing for president in NPP. They will never give it to him, I can assure you. When the misfortune hit us and our father Professor Mills passed away, the constitution said the vice president should take over, I did. But then we were close to an election. If it was another party, they would have insisted that there should be a congress and in that congress I would have been contested and they would have given the leadership to somebody else,” the President added.

Are you people also implying that Nana killed Aliu Mahama to get the chance of leading NPP again? the truth hurts but it must be told, Bawumia can never be allowed to lead NPP, mark it on the wall. Sometimes he Bawumiah looks like being injected with some substance by NPP to look ***barred word***. They use him to do all the dirty jobs including pink sheet lies, Togo register lies, economy lies e.t.c. They have destroyed him already and will use these things against him after Nana defeat in Dec.7. We are all in Ghana, you will hear NPP attacking him Bawumiah
Shame on you Mr President
Fiafito! Julor! Balaoo
I don,t think this ***barred word*** president will ever read this comments people sent,he would have known what,that cheap talk comes with.
Ei Mahama, is this gbeshi or what? What will happen? Bawumia will not kill Nana Addo as you did to mills. Some of us, will make Bawumia our candidate when Nana completes his tenure. Even you, corrupt, incompetent and wagadre can become a president, how much more Dr. Bawumia who is handsome, competent and incorruptible.***barred word*** president.
Shame!!! Say better and stop this tribal talk..Shame on you Mr president.
Is that suppose to be our campaign message JDM? It's obvious we are giving up as NDC. All odds are coming to us and it is clear we should be preparing our handing over notes. Veering into this desperate divisive lines should send enough signals to we the party foot soldiers that we are just been used. After all it is coming to the close for we NDC. At least for now because Woyome is indeed an icing on the cake to our exit if after Martin oral questioning on oath. Definitely our image is going to be battered even more. NDC, reality is reality, lets begin to psyche ourselves as NDC to exit government. What goes around comes around.
divisive president. ota-nii- ab-oooooowa
This is true and reality
WHAT IS THE MEANING OF " ANYTHING HAPPENS". EIII MR. PRESIDENT, "ANYTHING HAPPENED " FOR YOU TO BECCOME PRESIDENT . SAAAAAA HMMM. I'M SURE BAWUMIA WILL NOT WISH FOR "ANYTHING TO HAPPEN " FOR HIM TO BECOME BY-FORCE PRESIDENT OOO. HMMM
