Alhaji Asuma Banda, a business magnate and member of the Council of State has said Vice President John Mahama is the only visible vice president that could be found in the world.
He intimated that before 2009 when the ruling National Democratic Congress took over power, he had always presumed that the position of the Vice President was that of just a mere �spare tyre� and not anything serious.
�I have been travelling around the world and I must confess that Mr. John Dramani, the Vice President of the Republic of Ghana is the only vice president I have seen who is very visible whiles the rest are just spare tyres to their Presidents�, he noted.
Alhaji Asuma Banda said this at the forecourt of the State House in Accra when John Dramani Mahama commissioned 100 new Ashok Leyland buses procured by the Metro Mass Transit Company Limited to augment its operation. He revealed that, John Dramani Mahama is visible everywhere in the country as he is helping President Mills to execute his better Ghana agenda.
�We must however concede that the Vice President is making all these strides because President John Evans Atta Mills is not the selfish type of a leader and always wants to delegate - and John Dramani has not disappointed the President as he is working very well�, he said.
On his part, Vice President John announced that government would spend part of the Chinese loan to establish the Accra Intelligent Traffic Management system to stem the perennial traffic congestion in the city. He explained that a control tower would be built and managed by professionals who would monitor and regulate traffic lights to enhance free flow of vehicles. He however cautioned that there would be cameras around all traffic lights in the city to track down traffic offenders in the system and called on drivers to respect traffic regulations to enhance the establishment of the system.
