Ernest Owusu Bempah says because former President John Mahama is not a 'born leader' he doesn't know the value to handle 'position of trust'.

He mentioned other former Presidents like Jerry John Rawlings and John Agyekum Kufuor who worked hard and struggled to become President; saying "such people don't toy with leadership; compare them to John Mahama; he didn't go through any political struggle".

"It is very dangerous for someone who is not a born leader to be handed a position of trust..." he indicated further on Neat FM's 'Me Man Nti' programme.

Unwilling Mahama

The Director of Communications for Ghana Gas Company Limited further narrated how former First Lady, Nana Konadu Agyeman-Rawlings convinced Mahama to become a leader.

"It was Nana Konadu who brought him in; he didn't even want to contest as MP . . . he never went there to campaign . . . he never wanted to become a running mate to Prof Mills (late) . . . he (Mahama) said I'm not interested and besides Northerners are tired of being second fiddle," he said, adding that he never wanted to be a leader.

Ernst Owusu Bempah added that the former President was a 'nobody' when Nana Konadu decided to "bring him in".

He further disclosed that because of his criticisms against the now flagbearer of the NDC he was tempted three times to collect bribe from former President John Mahama.

"They brought me money in a 'Ghana must go' bag and I rejected it three times," he told Mac Jerry on Neat FM's 'Me Man Nti' programme.
