Politicians always nose around for funerals, where they can get the opportunity to unleash their venom and propaganda, insulting each other in desperation for political mileage. The situation at the funeral of Major Maxwell Adam Mahama was different. Politicians who attended the funeral exhibited maturity and decency throughout the funeral.
This time it was Ghanaians (public) who attended the funeral, who out of desperation and frustration, used the occasion to demand for the return of the former President John Dramani Mahama. The former leader who is an uncle to the deceased, entered the funeral ground quietly with his aides only to be barricaded by some of the mourners who shed tears and shouted slogans expressing regrets for voting against him in the last election. The former President's aides had to intervene to avert moves which could have affect the programme.
When the former President walked to the body to lay a wreath on behalf of the family, the whole atmosphere suddenly got charged with shouts and chants from the crowd applauding him and shouting for his return. When the announcer mentioned his name as one of the dignitaries present, all present stood up with ears splitting applause for the former leader. According to Rev Thomas Ahenkora, what happened at the place is unprecedented. For a leader who just exited office to receive that massive applause, is mind boggling.
It represents the situation in the country, it shows the extent at which Ghanaians have missed his leadership style and should at the same time serve as a warning and wake up call for the incumbent said Rev Ahenkora. With the next election scheduled for December 2020, remorseful Npp voters have just under four years to reevaluate their choice and cast their vote again. Many have started questioning their own decision and boldly expressed their disappointment in the current administration today at the forecourt of the state house.
What happened at the funeral of the Major and comments being made on radio and social media about happenings in the country today, can best be equated to happenings in America presently.
According to a recent poll conducted by Fox News a close media ally of Trump, only 36% of Trump's voters said they would vote for him again in the 2020 election with 55% saying they would vote for someone else. Majority of Ghanaians aren't happy about the policies of the current administration and its failure to keep to the promises they made during the campaign.

What do u mean by all Ghanaians or majority ghanaians cos not even a semi uarter of Ghanaians were there so stop imagining the imposibility cos Ghanaians know the difference between competent and incompetent. Rawlings always gets applauded bt it doesnt mean we want him back so commot with this fake news
EPA stop the guys burning the car tyres along the Tema motorway. There is no substitute for clean fresh natural air.
This man has not awoken from the slamber of defeat the lies they told him before the 2016 elections is what he is imaging in his head .he would lose by 5million votes if he stands again.
This is codswallop, who wants that guy back? All they did was to steal. They should wait soon the Special Prosecutor will be here.
Stop deceiving yourselves!Ghanaians will soon see the difference between competence of the current president and the reverse for the ex mahima.
Who cares about ndc troop in to the funeral to cheer him up like he is still the president. Were every Ghanaian at the funeral for this writer to write this rubb*sh? This was ndc funeral and they exhibited the usual comic so what is new? If ndc think the death of somebody's son was the best place to express their insensit*vity and ***barred word****shness who cares? You can orchestrate to tickle yourselves and laugh who cares? The country is in a happy mood and peaceful,Ghanaians are demanding from the government your prosecution and if possible jailed so who want ndc back for what?To ste*l, show arrogance and impunity, insult and boisterous attitude or to show to Ghanaians where power lies? You ndc might be joking,ndc is finished that party will never come back to power. Your founder Der is telling you ndc need the truth which is impossible with you,accountability,sincerity and honesty all these are something detestable to the ndc,ndc can't change from their evil ways because they were created like that.
John Ford Mahama will get only 20% of the vote and 40 parliamentary seats. It is only those corrupt officials who benefited from his corrupt administration who will want him to come back. Ghanaians don't want this incompetent guy anymore. Even some NDC people do not want him.
NEVER!!! YOU ARE A LIAR 57 WHO VOTED FOR NANA AKUFFO-ADDO DONT WANT ANY TTHHIIEF ANS CCOORRUPPPTTT AARRRSSSSE-HHOLLE TO COME BACK!!! TOFIAKWA. APPUUUUUU!!!!GO AND BRING HIM!! THAT IS WHY HE IS USING THIS SOLDIER'S DAETH TO CREATE MISSCIEF IN THE ARMY??? THEY SHOULD TRY AND SEE!!!! NDC WILL NEVER COME BACK AGAIN. NEVER AGAAIN!!!!
Journalism thrown to the dogs
Does peacefm pay this reporter? I thought journalism was a difficult job that required intelligence, but i know just how everybody qualifies to be one now. John who? He always capitalizes on people's death to earn a position. Or you having checked? Prof. Mills. i bet wants to use Major Mahama. The man is no brainer at all, so stop this exhibition of paid advert disguised as journalism, peacefm, and grow up.
