With the corruption tag hanging on the neck of the National Democratic Congress’, (NDC) Presidential candidate, and also the former President, His Excellency John Dramani Mahama, the Patriots for Peace and Development (PPD) is calling on the leadership of the party to organize an extra-ordinary congress in earnest to re-elect a new candidate that would lead the party for the 2020 general elections.
“This is just a harmless advice we are giving out to the rank and file of the NDC party. It is our expectation that they would consider this advice in good faith without any malice,” it said in a statement.
The PPD is of the view that it would be in the interest of the party to put out a candidate who has more credibility for the 2020 general election.
In a statement issued and signed by Richard Danso, there is the need for the opposition NDC to organize an early congress to disqualify John Mahama in the face of all these brouhaha and fill in a clean and more qualified candidate.
“Eminent people with much more credibility like Prof Joshua Alabi, Hon Alban Bagbin, Dr Ekwow Spio-Garbrah, Sylvester Mensah, Kwesi Ahwoi among others could be considered as a presidential candidate," it said.
The NDC as a party must tread cautiously since this big scandal would definitely have some ripple effect on the chances of the party during the 2020 general elections.
The Crown Court at Southwark in the United Kingdom passed judgment on 31st January 2020, between the Director of the Serious Fraud Office and Airbus SE, in which the European multinational aerospace corporation was fined $3.9 billion for the payment of bribes to secure deals in five countries, including Ghana.
The London High Court found Airbus guilty and imposed a fine of three billion pounds (£3bn) as penalties.
Airbus was charged with five counts of failing to prevent bribery, having used a network of secret agents to pay large-scale backhanders to officials in foreign countries to land high-value contracts.

Oh Mahama. How much will you eat in a day? The bible says what benefit will you derive gaining the whole world and losing your soul. Anything about corruption has Mahama fingered in it. Why Why Why.
Mahama must be arrested saaa and AKUFO should be hang because he is a thiefffff and de most corrupt president ever to surface in Ghanaian politic nkwasease3m
Oh my God, Npp knows they will lose big time come 2020, so they are trying all they could to tarnish the NDC for a political gain that will not work for them. The corruption in the npp is so huge that they cannot control it, for that matter they are looking for a scapegoat. Mahama will prevail and win the 2020 election. They the npp knows their officials will be going to jail after the election. I can assure you that your loose campaign will not work. You failed ghanains with your hoax promises and Ghanaians are voting against you nor matter you what you do
Airbus bribery fallout: Investigations launched worldwide
What koraa does J.D. Mahama want in life? Why cause Ghana to bleed so profusely? Eh!
MAHAMA MUST BE ARRESTED IMMEDIATELY AND CHARGED. MAHAMA MIGHT BE THE FIRST FORMER PRESIDENT IN GHANA TO BE IMPRISONED. THE STATE MUST FOLLOW THE RIGHT PROCESS OF THE RULE OF LAW TO INVESTIGATE THE MATTER TO THE BOTTOM. AS THE MALAYSIANS SAY IF YOU WANT TO WEED OUT CORRUPTION BEGIN FROM THE TOP AND NOT THE BOTTOM. WE DON'T HAVE ANY KANGAROO COURTS TO TRY THE INVOLVED. WE SHALL NOT KILL ANYBODY FOR UNSUBSTANTIATED ACCUSATION. PROPER INVESTIGATION SHOULD BE DONE FOR THE TRUTH TO COME OUT. THE CULPRIT MUST BE MADE TO PAY AND BE PUNISHED FOR WHATEVER IS STOLEN FROM STATE. IT WAS FOR THE AIM TO HIDE THIS TRUTHS ABOUT THE AIRBUS, AMONG OTHER THINGS THAT MILLS DIED. FOR THE SAKE OF MANY BLOODS SHED IN THE NAME OF CORRUPTION, NOBODY MUST BE SHIELDED FOR A CORRUPT DEED. THE GHOSTS OF THE GENERALS, THE GHOSTS OF OVERTHROWN PRESIDENTS ACCUSED OF UNSUBSTANTIATED CORRUPTIONS, AND THE GHOST OF MILLS WHO DIED MYSTERIOUSLY WOULD NOT FORGIVE THIS GENERATION IF WE OVERLOOK ANY REAL CASE OF CORRUPTION. GOD BLESS GHANA. GOD BLESS ANYONE WHO STAND BY THE SIDE OF TRUTH TO FIGHT CORRUPTION IN GHANA.
Stop this smear campaign and advance your actions by creating job for the numerous youth hunting for non existing job. It is a shame to Ghana.
