Former President John Mahama is keen on making history as the first former President to be reelected as Head of State.
“My brothers and sisters, I believe we can make history, and that is the history of the re-election of a person who was president before. It is a rare phenomenon,” he said in a meeting with National Democratic Congress (NDC) legislators on Tuesday.
“I believe the NDC will write a page in the history books of Ghana with the reelection of a person who has been president before.” Mr. Mahama is already looking beyond the NDC presidential primaries in January 2019 as he says his party’s prospects “are very bright.”
Some 96 members of the NDC caucus in Parliament purportedly raised over GHc 600,000 for Mr. Mahama’s bid to become the NDC flagbearer.
He stressed to the NDC MPs that the party must start strategising for what they will do when they assume the mantle of governance. “When I do get elected, it will be for just one term, and so it must be an administration that hits the ground running and so a lot of the strategy and preparations must be done in advance of January 7, 2021, because that will be a government in a hurry.”
Among other things, Mr. Mahama said the preparation would be needed to stabilise the economy the NPP leaves behind, in the event of an NDC win.
“But that’s the history of NDC. We always have to do the heavy lifting and then when we have done the heavy lifting, things are stable, then these our opponents come in and then they enjoy a free ride and take us back to where we came from.”

FOR THE WHERE???????????????? YOU MESSED UP THE ECONOMY!!! GO AND SLEEP. NANA WILL RETIRE YOU WELL IN 2020. BYE BYE
You already made history as a one-term president. Besides, you are the only "INCOMPETENT ONE" who supervised over 3years of DUMSOR. Your history records on corruption are simply unmatched! Ghanaians will NEVER vote for a character like Mahama. NEVER AGAIN!!!!
You have made history already in the anal history of this country.It is only your government that taxpayers money of over $12 million for rearing guninea fowls and all the guinea fowls flown to Burkina Faso. It is only in your government that Bauxite deposit estimated $650 billion which belong to the nation, an agreement was signed for your Brother Ibrahim Mahamah 28th December 2016, 9 days of your departure from the presidency.It is only in your government that $7 million was given to a lady for a bus branding which was never done.It is only in your government that over $400 million loan contracted to purchase luxury cars and gave to journalist and celebrities and sold the remaining ones to your cronies very cheap.The history you have made has a long list but I have given only few. So come again
Look at this joker. you are an epitome of greed, corruption and incompetence. We Ghanaians will make sure a th--ief like you will never come back to power again.
In deed we are going to make another history by voting massively for Nana Addo Danquah Akuffo-Addo. This time around John Incompetent Mahama will secure 38% to make history. You think Ghanaians are ***barred word***. You just bride your way and win the NDC primaries. It is a nice way God wants you to dissipate the gargantuan monies you and your bro stole when you were in power.
This Mahama guy who took us to IMF is a SWEET TALKING CON.MAN..... Tell us the policies you will pursue. he has nothing new to offer us.
History?? You already made it, Incompetent One. One Term President papapaaa.
Mr. Former President,no other history is needed. We already have one and that is what was made during the 2016 election when you lost abysmally and disgracefully. My simple advice to you is that you man up and let Ghanaians understand this simple truth that "you can't eat your cake and have it again". Even in this case, we dont need that cake anymore. Please let us be and stop wasting your time and money and compounding your mess. You dont even deserve to be a class prefect again.
The best history is to consign NDC and NPP into opposition for at least 8 years.
As for history, rest assured that history will be made but definitely not with your re-election. The history will be about your inability to secure even 40% of total valid votes cast. Mark it anywhere.
