Ex-President John Mahama says the National Democratic Congress, does not have any intention to remove the “super incompetent†Akufo-Addo administration through coup.
According to John Mahama, if any member of the opposition National Democratic Congress might have talked about a possible coup in Ghana, then the person might have said it in context.
John Mahama said the NDC is not ready to truncate Akufo-Addo’s administration.
“…We don’t support any truncation of our current democracy in any way. If someone said something, he might have said in some context, not that he had any intention or we (NDC) had any intention to truncate the mandate that was given to the NPP,â€
Speaking to some NDC party faithful at the 7th Unity Walk in WA today April 7, 2018, John Mahama said, NDC will not destabilise Ghana’s democracy by staging a coup against the Akufo-Addo and New Patriotic Party-led government but will give it the full four-year mandate to embarrass itself.
“Indeed we must not help the NPP out by truncating their mandate, let them go through the full embarrassment of their four years,â€
He added that “if you push them out, they will say oh we were just on the verge of delivering our promise and we were taken outâ€.
Former President Mahama also expressed optimism about the victory of the NDC in the 2020 election but cautioned the members of the party not to bag their hopes on what he termed the super incompetent Akufo-Addo administration.
Rather, he wants the members of the NDC to work hard to secure a genuine electoral victory come 2020.
“…Though the NPP has proven super incompetent, we cannot sit and relax and say because of their super incompetence we are going to win the election. We must work hard to convince the electorate that we deserve to be voted back into power,†he told the crowd.
