Former President of the Ghana Bar Association (GBA) is asking President John Mahama to render an apology to ex-President and founder of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Jerry John Rawlings.
Sam Okudzeto says the outgoing President in his last State of the Nation Address Thursday must express regret for the way in which he caused the NDC an embarrassment in the just ended December 7 elections.
In an interview with Joy News Wednesday, he argued that Mr Mahama's loss constitutes a vote of no confidence on his leadership.
Mr Okudzeto advised the outgoing president not to be lured into running as a presidential candidate of the party in 2020
According to him, although the 1992 Constitution which prescribes two four-year term limits for presidents, it would be politically unwise if Mr Mahama runs as he can only govern for one term, which will be a continuation of his first term in official which ends on January 7.

If Akufo-Addo's did not apologize to President Kufuor for disgracing him with his abysmal performance after losing twice and did not signify a vote of no confidence...why should President Mahama apologize to Prez. Rawlings. Remember, you and your ENTIRE EXTENDED family are an EPITOME of whatever insult you reign at me
you mean it was JJ's critism that killed mills? youre so average minded
Why should he apooguise to Rawlings, is he the only president who have lost election. Mr. Okugato,osr waht ever yopur name is, Rawlings sees himself as the only person who is sensible, when Hilla Limann was voted into power he staged a coup to over throw him because he has tasted power and seen how sweet it is to be in the helm of affairs, When Atta Mills was voted into power he criticize him until he died, he continues to criticize Mahamas administration and his wife had to go and and form her own party, they just cant accept that they are no longer in the limelight.
Okudzeto, Thanks for seeking the wrong medium for attention. Did you really read law at the most esteemed Ghana Law School? We are wondering how you passed the bar exams with such an opportunistic and medicocre brains like that? Is Mahama the only sitting President in the world to have lost an election? We wished you would come out with honest appraisal of the irresponsible role that your darling killer JJ Rawlings played in ensuring that they lose the elections. Tell Rawlings that no matter what he does to stay in limelight, Ghanaians and God will NEVER forgive him for his atrocities and all the innocent blood he has and continues to shed as an occult master. Some of us know why NPP won, if you think they won JUST by physical preparation, wait till Owusu Bempah ask Nana Addo to build him a massive church building and there is a fall out, you would see what happens in Ghana. We wish Ghana well but note that no gift from the 4th dimension powers is free. This is our prophecy from New York.
THERE THEY GO AGAIN.FREEDOM OF SPEECH AND EXPRESSION GOES WITH WISDOM AND A LOT OF RESPONSIBILITIES. NOT ALL TALKS ARE POLITICAL.THIS MAN IS A SEASONED STATESMAN, LAWYER AND SENIOR CITIZEN. IF RAWLINGS IS A TRAITOR, WHO DID HE BETRAY? IF YOU WENT THROUGH WHAT RAWLINGS WENT THROUGH WITH HIS OWN PARTY MEMBERS YOU WOULD UNDERSTAND HIM. AN ELDER IN THE FAMILY MUST BE ACCORDED THE RESPECT EVEN IF HE DOESN'T RESPECT HIMSELF. WHAT THIS MAN SAID IS PERFECT ADVISE FOR MAHAMA. WHETHER YOU LIKE HIM OR HATE HIM,HE HAS GIVEN A FATHERLY ADVICE.THE YOUTH OF TODAY ALL WE DO IS TO FIND SOMEONE TO INSULT. WHAT DID HE SAY WRONG? AS THE FOUNDER, THE NDC IN POWER DID NOT TREAT RAWLINGS FAIRLY AT ALL.

POWWER TO THE PEOPLE AND NOT TO THE EVIL RAWLINGSES
Is president Mahama the only president on this planet who has lost election? Goodluck Jonathan of Nigeria conceded defeat and he was not insulted bur rather praised by same people who rejected him lets watch and see.
Massa, ever since I started reading and contributing on this platform, you have never failed to exhibit your immaturity, childlessness and huge disrespect for people, whether young or old especially those who don't agree with your opinions. You can hide behind your pc to insult people but know that you might not live long enough to appreciate old age.
