NDC Stalwart and diplomat ambassador Tony Aidoo has expressed concerns over the decision of the Congress Committee of the NDC to allow former President John Mahama who is also contesting to lead the party for the 2020 polls to address congress.
According to him, either all flagbearer aspirants should have been allowed to speak or none should have been given the opportunity in order to ensure fairness.
“The flagbearer race is something I don’t want to talk about. I think all the flagbearer aspirants should have been given a chance to speak at the congress and not Mahama alone. Better still, none of the flagbearers should have been given the chance to mount the podium or get on stage,” he told Francis Abban on the Morning Starr days after the Congress that elected new national executives of the party.
The comment comes on the back of the concerns expressed by flagbearer aspirant Sylvester Mensah over John Mahama campaign songs played at the congress.
The organizing committee has however noted they will investigate the incident.
“During the whole period you noticed that no such song was played because we had laid the rules. So we will investigate and know what happened and then we will know what to do,” a member of the committee Alex Segbefia told Starr News.
Meanwhile, Mahama who spoke at the congress advised members of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) to gird their loans and work hard because “poor performance of the NPP” government will not guarantee them an automatic victory in the 2020 elections.
“Ghanaians are looking up to us. We cannot expect to win the 2020 elections by default of NPP’s poor performance in office. Our return to power must be based on a humble persuasive approach to Ghanaians that we are not only a better alternative but that we have learnt the lessons of our 2016 defeat.
“And that we are prepared to give them an even better service than we did in our previous term in office,” Mahama told delegates at the just ended 9th congress of the party at the Trade Fair Centre in Accra.

The ***barred word*** are saying that the former president,John Mahama should not have addressed the people? He was given the opportunity because he was an ex-president. People like Tony Aidoo and co are complaining because they cannot reason well. do they think that the other flagbearers were also former presidents? this Sh*t eating among some of the old people in the NDC who should have known must stop.
That is what happens to a man heading towards a BIG DISGRACE!
@NS Wo kwas*ea is unrecoverable if you are sensible will you be in the ndc I'm asking you? what did ndc do for Ghana in the 8 years you think people's lives must be toyed by the ndc ? people's future, our destiny should be handed over to ndc who even just 9000 delegates voting it took them 3 days such incompetent, messed up lives want to dictate the future of over 30 million people when they can't take care of themselves. Biribi gyegye mo! @NDC Liars you've said it well !
@NS, Ashewo papa hahahahahaa. @NDC LIARS you said it all.
so desperate as a fuu1, to come steal, destroy and kill us, never again, ford-super-general-incompetent mahama, over our dead bodies. WHY ARE YOU SO DESPERATE?
How sad! I think JJ is seething with anger at the turn of events in the NDC as it is today. JJ himself has been pushed off, followed by his Voltarians who have been loyal to him over the years. His wife, Konadu was chased out few years ago His daughter, the MP is being used as a 'consolation chip' to be running-mate for Mahama. When it doesn't happen, which is most likely, the whole Rawlings family will be the political laughing-stock in this country for a long time to come. The NDC now belongs to Mahama and Asiedu Nketiah. They call the shots and decide who should be elected into top positions. Even if NDC loses 2020, expect these two people to still hang around and control affairs of the party. And their children will take over in due course. Mark my words.
NO PROPHET IS EVER ACCEPTED IN HIS OWN LAND. WHEN JESUS CHRIST WAS ALIVE HE WAS HATED BY ALMOST ALL. AFTER HIS DEATH PEOPLE CAN'T FORGET THE GOOD THINGS HE DID FOR THIS WORLD. PEOPLE ARE "DYING" TODAY TO BE LIKE JESUS. BUT THEY HATED HIM WHEN HE WAS ALIVE AND DOING WHAT HE WANTED TO DO. PEOPLE ONLY APPRECIATE YOU AFTER YOU ARE DEAD AND GONE. THAT IS HUMAN NATURE. GREED AND SELFISHNESS ABOUND IN US SO MUCH THAT WE TEND NEVER TO APPRECIATE OTHERS NO MATTER HOW MUCH THOSE PEOPLE SACRIFICE FOR US. THE LIFE OF JESUS CHRIST AND OUR DESIRE FOR HIM TODAY SHOULD SERVE AS A GUIDE TO US IN MAKING OUR SACRIFICES TO SERVE MANKIND NO MATTER PEOPLES' PERSONAL OR EGOISTIC TENDENCIES TO DISCOURAGE US. ONE HAS EVER SATISFIED EVERYONE ON THIS EARTH. THE PAIN AND ANGER THAT SOME PEOPLE MAY HAVE AGAINST YOU OR ME OR ANY OTHER PERSON WOULD FINALLY KILL SUCH PEOPLE WHO HABOUR SUCH PERSONAL HATRED AGAINST OTHERS AS THE HATRED WILL EAT INTO THEIR OWN FLESH AND NOT THE ONE BEING HATED.
“And that we are prepared to give them an even better service than we did in our previous term in office,” Mahama told delegates at the just ended 9th congress of the party at the Trade Fair Centre in Accra. EH JDM SO YOU COUNT ON HOW YOU RUN THIS NATION AS A GOOD SERVICE? HMMM!!! EYE ASEM OOO!!! GHANA YE WU OOO!!!! GOOD SERVICE KE.
It is shocking that the whole NDC party machinery could not figure out this common "sense issue" that even class 5 pupils could identify. Allowing JM to address congress was too basic an error to commit and Tony Aidoo is very right on that score. But for the NDC, it seems to be a very huge puzzle to unravel. Once incompetent, for ever incompetent.
@NDC LIARS, wa agyi mi paaaaaah.
