Mr Samuel Constant Kwaku, a former National Democratic Congress (NDC) parliamentary aspirant for Klottey Korley has appealed to former President John Dramani Mahama to rescind his decision to contest in the presidential primary of the party to protect his dignity.
He said: “In my opinion, former President Mahama should stay away from the presidential race and allow posterity to judge his tenure of office as he has been truthful to Ghanaians.”
Mr Kwaku who made the appeal in an interview with the Ghana News Agency on the NDC Presidential race said the former President stands tall in the history of the country’s infrastructural development and economic gains as compare to late President Dr Kwame Nkrumah.
He said two years of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) administration led by President Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo could not match the governance of ex-President Mahama and he should therefore not allow party members to push him to make decisions that would tarnish his reputation.
He said former President Mahama should not be deceived by the 96 parliamentarians who endorsed his candidature for the presidential race “because all these people were around when the party lost the 2016 elections at the time foot-soldiers needed T-shirts and other logistics to embark on campaign.”
Mr Kwaku, who is also a former Assemblyman for Asylum Down in Accra said: “I acknowledge the work of the former President and he should do us some favour by allowing posterity to judge his administration to avoid any embarrassment to himself and the party.
“As a human institution, everyone is bound to make mistakes, but what I don’t understand is why should party executives who failed the NDC because of their stomach are now throwing support for JM.,” he added.
Mr Kwaku said: “Up till now we as a party have not been able to make meaningful analysis as to what caused our loss, yet some NDC members who failed the party in the elections are still seeking positions. What will they be doing, that they could not do at that time of the 2016 elections?”

When did this guy became a Ghanaian with Kwaku as his last name?hahahaha! laughable ! and dies he know the works of Osagyefo? tell that ndc idi*t Osagyefo took full control of Ghana and started his work when Ghana became a republic in 1960. From 1960- 1966 he built over 300 factories and SHS in every region, he should tell us what John mahama did in Mills/Mahama and Mahama/ Lordina/Paa Kwesi Bekoe time? John mahama promised 200 community day secondary schools with only 3 completed, the 25 completed were world bank finance. What are you talking about ?and how will Ghana develop with people with dead mentality? if John mahama had done something extra-ordinary he wouldn't be in opposition by now and trying to emulate Dr Hilla Limann. Bring him on and we shall show him his real size, he did nothing and absolutely nothing for Ghana than to build his own empire and established create loot and share! where are the so called infrastructure you people are talking of? the rough road eastern corridor, or the collapsed Sofo line interchange? mo'abodam papa ! ndc will rot in opposition! Ghana is moving forward with free SHS, Planting g for food and jobs, ndc debts paid, NHIS is working, teacher and nurses trainee allowances restored, Ghana is in good hands. Ghana is being built and we shall succeed. Ndc will rot in opposition! 2020 ndc 30% you can take it or leave it.
Good advice but funny assessments. Rating Mahama achievement above Kwame Nkrumah and all other presidents is laughable. The same lies and propaganda that Enlightened Ghanaians rejected Ndc can't get away from that. They can go ahead and sing the same song that Ghanaians rejected.
