The Managing Editor of the Insight newspaper, Kwesi Pratt Jnr has advised ex-President Mahama not to succumb to pressure by some elements of his party requesting for him to stage a come back in partisan politics, urging the former leader to buy time and make sober reflection on his legacy.
“It will be very unwise for him to make any statement now” that may bother on his future in local politics, Pratt told host of Anopa Kasapa show, Fiifi Banson on Kasapa 102.5 FM Thursday.
The debate rages on over the political future of ex-President John Dramani Mahama after the exit from government of the former leader over the weekend.
Some elements within the NDC stock are seriously rooting for him [Mahama] to stand for the position of the Flagbearer again in the party, but his immediate family insists that the former President should call time on partisan politics.
Commenting on the issue Thursday, Mr. Pratt said the former leader, should be planning on how to defend his legacy.
” Nothing has happened yet. He should be expecting that his legacy would be attacked. If he’s not expecting that his legacy will be attacked then he’s naive. You can’t move in and out of presidency the same way to check in and out of a hotel. It’s a serious business. When I talk about defence of his legacy, I’m talking about political defence of his legacy which may include other things like legal defence and other things. And the defence he needs to make may lead to the conclusion that he needs to make another brake.”
Meanwhile Pratt said Mahama’s Family has no locus to decide for him in national issues, insisting that he’s become a national asset and no longer belong to his family alone.

I am surprised at Mr Pratt, who is a good friend for his utterances. Why would he say that H.E. John Dramani Kahama's (former President) family has no right to advise him about his political future? Mr. Pratt, the ex-President's family have everything to lose or gain in the President's decision or otherwise. If I may ask, what is your locus, Mr. Pratt?
Eii Mr Pratt are u saying that his immediate family have no business in his decision making, like seriously, u contributed immensely to his humiliated defeat, u want him to return so the opportunity would be offered again for u to get V8 , then again, u want JM set up a legal team so ur judgement debt wouldn't be paid? I taught you ve already relocated from Ghana, by the way are able to sleep now that Nana Addo is president, wiiiked man , with all these cemetery flowers on ur head , u only think about what an old man like u will eat , what about the children and those yet unborn, what did you do to be rewarded with V8,hope you aware that this can build wells for villagers without water. SOCIALIST INDEED
