ASHANTI REGIONAL Minister Simon Osei-Mensah has insisted that the state should stop taking care of ex-President John Dramani Mahama.
He argued that since Mr. Mahama is aspiring to become a president again, it is not proper for the state to foot his bills anymore. The minister has therefore called for an open debate to determine if Mr. Mahama should be taken care of by the state or not.
According to Mr. Osei-Mensah, he is convinced that the state should not take care of someone who is aspiring to become a president. “Mr. Mahama is now a presidential aspirant of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and that is the gospel truth. With his presidential ambition, I am convinced that the state should stop taking care of him as a former president,” he stressed.
The minister added: “If the state will continue to take care of him, then all other presidential aspirants should also be taken care of by the state”. He was addressing hundreds of NPP members during the Ashanti Regional NPP Youth conference and inauguration of youth working committees.
Held in Kumasi last Saturday, it was graced by Samira Bawumia, the Second Lady, and Henry Nana Boakye, NPP National Youth Organizer. Mr. Osei-Mensah, who was brimming with rage, said “Mr. Mahama has nothing to offer the country after failing to deliver as president”.
“Mahama only wants to come back as president so that he can steal from the coffers of the state again”, he pointed out. He, therefore, charged the NPP youth to campaign vigorously so that ‘victory 2020’ for the NPP would be a done deal.

As for me my take is this. As soon as Nana also contest the state should also stop taking care of him. Infact he should hand over Bawumia and go and contest Mahama.
this minister paaa hmmmm are the other candidates ex president gyimiii paaa nie
Mahama is an ex president and must be taking care of the state like any other ex president. Stop the cheap propaganda and focus on the things that will help revived the nation economy.
hahah why are you people scared of Mahama's come back? you guys are not doing anything so u are scared of his come back 'BOI'. if you like dont feed him let him grow like skeleton we shall bring him back.

Is a legitimate debate lets look at it well.
G.Y.IMI PAA NIE UNINTELLIGENT MINISTER
See me see trouble....see face like goat baby face.... Is your gov't not in power? Stop it! Who are you calling on to debate? Since it is of much importance to you, go ahead? Is Mahama a former or ex president or not? A whole minister with this kindergarten mentality? And these are the people we are depending on as a nation for direction? Ah well!!
This minister doesn't ceases to amaze me. After your tribal leaked tape, you couldn't gather courage to apologise but have the courage to challenge constitution? For your information, issues of the constitution is interpreted at the supreme court. We hate your balloon ministers too but it is constitutional that's why we are quiet. solve Ashanti regional problems and stop talking trash.
