Dr. Edward Omane Boamah says the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) has "credible and pragmatic programmes that we are going to put in place" to save Ghanaians from the hardship inflicted on them by the Akufo-Addo led government.
He bemoaned the 'abysmal performance' of the current administration and added that “Ghanaians must be happy and confident that President Mahama is coming back to right the wrongs and restore this nation in the right direction”.
Omane Boamah was reacting to the massive victory chalked by former President John Dramani Mahama during the primaries of the NDC over the weekend.
The former President garnered 95.24% after the election, leaving less than 5% for the rest of the six aspirants.
Speaking to this on Citi TV’s 'The Point of View', the former Communication Minister in the erstwhile Mahama administration said "the party has demonstrated that there is unanimity when it comes to our support for Mahama. And in that unanimity, you saw the competition that everyone wanted to show that we love Mahama and the NDC and we want the party to win the 2020 elections.”
Why only Mahama
Omane Boamah has also spoken to reports that the NDC chose John Mahama because he is the only qualified candidate.
He said the fact that Mahama contested again does not mean they are short of competent people to lead the party.
According to him, "we have a plethora and the galaxy of stars who can stand as presidential candidates. Some of them stepped forward, Spio Garbrah and the others."
“This is a man (Mahama) who is loved by his people. Even as he was unsuccessful in 2016, people still continued to ask that he reconsiders coming back into active politics," he said.

I think NPP should relax, is an election coming up. just one man contesting before during and after his election. NPP has talk and talk and talk. you even have the founder of NDC supporting you due to his hatred for the same man. is not yet a campaign season but you are all over the place. please concentrate on governance because by the end of this term if you haven't even still built at least one classroom block, one hospital and achieve at least 20 percent of one district one factory, i will not vote for you period.
But I know less than 400,000 Ghanaians went to pools to endore the incompetent as the presidential candidate! Why then the skewed analysis?

I am quite convince that the NDC Gurus and Party members are not and have not considered issues broadly. The many international commuties such as the EU, UN, ECOWAS, IMF, World Bank, and donor agencies etc will not support the coming back of Mahama as President of Ghana. Even our Colonial Masters, the UK will not support the idea of a failed president to come back as a leader for Ghana. Consider his record as a President, consider his Performance with the IMf, and other international communities and donor agencies.Remember Ghana is not operating in Isolation. The leadeship of Ghana matters not only to ghanaians but also to the outside world especially the international commuties. The Administration of Mahama was well known to ghanaians, as well as the international comuuties. Due to the dissatisfaction of ghanaians and Anger of some the donor agncies, ghanaians expressed their disappointment and unhappines by Voting against Mahama, 2016. The result was clear. Remember, ghanaians have not forgotton easily the Performance of the Mahama Administration. A new face of Leadership, a new personality will have been better not only for the Party but for ghanaians and our relationship with the international communities.
So if i may ask, does it mean mahama is the only sensible and eligible person in the ndc? Wow, ndc, you a totally doomed. Your sensible and eligible candidate is the worst candidate of the NPP, kai. So none of you foresaw that you have done harm than good to yourselves and the party. Vision---less members of a party.
One of the former arrogant ministers.. They talk harsh and very disrespectful..I feel like vomiting any time I see them
Ghanaians voted ex president Mahama out of power because of poor performance. There is no ground for one to stand to criticize President Nana Addi for a ba bad governance. NDC should rather sit down and come out better wih policies which can out weigh the the good policies of Nana. Mahama and his failed party should stop the propaganda that Nana is afflicting hardship. Nana Addo is rather correcting the mistakes caused by Mahama.Mahama should know that Ghanaians are not unknowledgeable to vote for failure like him to send Ghana to square zero.
IT IS SAD THAT NO ONE IN NDC CANNOT SEE THAT ELECTING THE FORMER PRESIDENT WAS NOT THE BEST OPTION.EVERY ANALYSIS ONE WOULD DO, THE OPTION IS NOT FOR JOHN MAHAMA TO BE PRESIDENT. LET EVEN AGREE THAT THE PRESENT PRESIDENT IS NOT PERFORMING IN EVERY AREA OF GOVERNANCE THEN THE NEXT OPTION IS THAT WE DO NOT NEED A PRESIDENT OR SOMEONE DIFFERENT FROM THE TWO. IF FORMER PRESIDENT WAS TESTED AND PERFORMED BADLY SO HE WAS VOTED OUT OF POWER AND THE PRESENT GOVERNMENT IS ALSO NOT PERFORMING WELL SO THE RATIONAL THING TO DO IS TO VOTE FOR THE PAST PRESIDENT BECAUSE AFTER GOING TO OPPOSITION HE IS BLESSED WITH SOO MUCH KNOWLEDGE THAT HE NOW HAS THE KEY TO SOLVE OUR PROBLEMS.INTERESTING GOD HELP GHANA.
can Dr. Omane Boamah administer injections to any patient? he talks meaninglessly.
