Former President John Mahama has made some revelations about his political life which may well point to how he would like to spend his time in the next coming years.
There has been a lot of debate as to what former President Mahama's next political move will be.
While many leading members of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) have pleaded with the former president to make a comeback in 2020, his family prefers him to stay out of politics for now.
But Mr Mahama may have subtly hinted of his discontentment with mainstream politics with the revelation that he nearly quit politics for private business before the NDC won power in 2008.
Speaking at the University of Ghana on Tuesday at the first official reading of his first book 'My first Coup D'etat', Mr Mahama disclosed he had to stay in public service because the late President J.E.A. Mills won the presidential elections that year.
Declining to make any definite statement on his political future, he hinted that he is working on a second book but would not tell when it would be completed.
The book reading was attended by hundreds of students, former ministers as well as members of the general public.
