Madam Fauzia Adams Yakubu, former National Democratic Congress TEIN Women Organiser has suggested to former President John Dramani Mahama to abandon the idea of coming into active politics in Ghana.
In a news statement copied to the Ghana News Agency, Madam Fauzia Yakubu said former President Mahama ‘has become a statesman and is accorded constitutionally enshrined courtesies and privileges.
“His character as a statesman is measured by the extent to which he manages national and international issues. And so, he should not be exposed to political hazards that will in anyway undermine the character of statesmanship.”
She said inspite of his heavy loss in 2016 general election, the former President was well received internationally into the circle of former presidents and should therefore live above petty partisanship.
“If the former President is leading NDC as the standard bearer, we will lack the morality to criticize the NPP of corrupt practices particularly when there were publicly widespread corruption allegations in his administration, which among other things led to the unprecedented defeat of the NDC in 2016.”
She said former President was entitled to the privileges of the office of ex-president, one of which was immunity from litigation for six years after leaving office and should he stand as a flagbearer it would open the flood gates of law suits which had the potential of denting his image as a statesman.
Madam Yakubu who was a former UDS TEIN women Organiser said in that case it would deflect the NDC community more to defend than to project in the 2020 election especially on corruption-related issues.
“John Mahama is very popular, that is true and he’s implemented a number of development projects, which is also true. But in the midst of these projects and popularity he lost, that is also very true“ he indicated.

mahama will beat Bawumia come 2020. i know the old man will not go again.
Who r you? JM is coming bank like kaikai wai. when ever de name JM is mentioned , den npp start to shake.
Look at this woman too. Some of you when you are giving the microphone to talk and you don't have anything better just ignore the microphone and go your way simple. Faizia or whatever your name is I will pardon you because you yourself you don't even know why you grand that interview in the first place. If you do, then you wouldn't have if you had had the chance again.
U have said it all. If he's wise, he will listen and avoid the sichophant. Let him run the 2020 elections and this time,it will be total and gangantuan defeat. Already it is. So its going to be double defeat
You're very wise Fauzia
Who is Fauzia Iddrisu to advise JM. I wonder why peacefmonline highlighted this bogus piece of trash from a nobody in NDC. NPP is simply afraid of JM. But NPP have no choice than to suffer the bitter lose in 2020.
It has been revealed that NPP inherited most of these staffers from the HDC
Whether Mahama comes or stay away ndc will never come near the seat of government. Then that means all his appointees must also stay away because they are all rotten and I don't think ndc has 1% if them who is credible, we are talking about credibility not who is popular and will win. Ndc must note, Ghanaians are discerning and no amount of old tricks will work, if new ndc didn't work,how can discredited ndc work? Ndc are known now to Ghanaians as an organised krime association but not a political organisation they let us believed. Ndc are kriminals both men and women and just a little time will expose them and what they did to Ghana as cartels.
I thought all the so-called big lawyers in NDC should know this by now. Where is Adawuga ??? Let Mahama decides to contest and you will see bigger brains in GH. NPP will wait until the last hour to tackle him with series of law cases until he will no longer be eligible to contest and it will be too late by that time. Wise thought , madam
Over to you Mahama
