Brigadier General Nunoo Mensah says former President John Dramani Mahama has “nothing” to offer Ghanaians again in his decision to contest the presidency in 2020.
He called on Mr Mahama to “go and sleep” after calming that his tenure as president wasn’t the best.
“He [John Mahama] said he wants to be president again. What is he coming to do for the people again? He had his chance and couldn’t use it to change things,” the former National Security advisor said.
Former President John Mahama has declared his interest to contest the 2020 elections on the ticket of the main opposition National Democratic Congress [NDC].
Mr Mahama who had earlier been coy about his interest for the slot noted that he has reflected on the numerous calls on him to contest and will not disappoint his supporters.
But many have called on him to reconsider his decision to contest the NDC flagbearership in November.
Academic and founder of AUCC, Kojo Yankah recently urged the former President to accept his current statesmanship status and leave the race.
Speaking on NEAT FM’s morning show dubbed ‘Ghana Montie’, Brigadier General Nunoo Mensah said Mr Mahama was rejected by Ghanaians during the 2016 elections because he failed – hence, his comeback is unnecessary.
“What else does he want?” he questioned
According to him, “Mahama should go to where he lost and ask the people if they are still interested in him and ready to vote for him. Staying in Accra thinking he is the favorite is a mistake. He failed that is why the people rejected him.”
“I don’t care who becomes president as long as the country is moving forward, I am okay,” he added.

I DON'T THINK ANY FIGHTER IN A BATTLE OR CONTESTANT IN ANY COMPETITION WILL EVER WANT TO GO IN FOR A CHALLENGER THAT HE CAN NOT EASILY PREDICT THE OUTCOME OF EITHER THE FIGHT OR THE COMPETITION. THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT IS MAKING THE NPP AND SOME CONTESTANTS OF JOHN DRAMANI MAHAMA (JDM) TO USE ALL MEANS AVAILABLE AND ALL MANNER OF PEOPLE AS WELL EITHER BY CRUDE OR VILE MEANS TO DISCOURAGE JDM AND HIS ADMIRERS FROM ENTERING THE RACE. IN ANY CASE, IF NPP IS SURE THAT JDM IS A WEAK CANDIDATE, THEN THEY SHOULD RATHER BE LAUGHING BEHIMD THE ACTIONS OF NDC AND NOT TO BE URGING JDM TO STEP ASIDE KNOWING VERY WELL THAT JDM IS MUCH, MUCH CAPABLE OF TURNING THE TABLES UPSIDE DOWN COME 2020. MOST OF US ARE STILL NOT CONVINCED WITH THE OUTCOME OF THE 2016 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS AND WE BELIEVE THERE WERE ERRORS AND COMPROMISES IN THE WHOLE PROCESS LEADING TO THE FINAL VERDICT.
You failed to post a couple of my contributions on different issues. I hope its not deliberate.
I can see that some of mahama's dogs are here and barking as usual at the truth. the truth is bitter but mahama has nothing to do at the sit of govt again. all he want to come back and do is to still more money all bcos this snail pace govt is still not able to jail any of his team members. i think Ken is right in the appointment of Amidu as SP. the man is good but complicated.
Nunoo Mensah, Mahama did not give you job and will still not give you job when he comes back to power. Only and idi*ot like yourself who has been in government since Acheampong's time will still want to be fed by government. The oldmen in NDC plus the NPPigs will continue to oppose Mahama but the majority in the NDC will speak in December 2018 as a prelude to 7th December 2020.
A WORD TO THE WISE IS ENOUGH. MAHAMA!!!! LIST TO BRIGADIER GENERAL NUNOO IT WILL HELP U.
Wrong Gen. All religious groupings would agree that we have always served God better and truly when our stomachs are empty. The poor will always be with us. We can choose to see the cost in everything but the value of none as Mr Kufuor once said. Need I remind us all that the Jubilee house which some people said they were going to turn into a poultry farm later became the fitting edifice for the presidency in the eyes of a certain John Mahama. In the end the poultry birds flew to Burkina Faso and the Jubilee house rather accommodated John Ford Expedition Mahama and his ***barred word*** gang. Today it has become the centre of power and a place of pride for all Ghanaians. Think about it.
Mahama has nothing to offer Ghana except inflated contract prices and reckless dissipation of the national resources which will lead us to the IMF for a bailout.
Mahama is eager to come back to consolidate 'DUMSOR' and CORRUPTION. Nothing else. NDC, do Ghana and God a favour by rejecting him at the primaries.
