Former President John Dramani Mahama has described the Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo’s led government as “supper incompetent”.
He has therefore advised the President to go for the Obinim’s sticker to help him manage the affairs of the State.
“I have been monitoring the social media and a new thing that has come that cures everything, they call it Obinim’s sticker or something, Obinim’s sticker. The President and his government needs an Obinim’s sticker “he said.
He made the call when he addressed supporters of the party after embarking on a unity walk at WA in the Upper west region.
NDC more committed to democracy
Former President Mahama also dismissed suggestion by President Akufo -Addo that the National Democratic Congress (NDC) seeks to destabilize the country with the treasonable comment.
Addressing the nation no Thursday on the agreement, President Nana Addo referring to the Deputy General Secretary of the NDC, Mr. Koku Anyidoho, accused his opponents of calling for coup d’état
But, Former President Mahama said his party is more committed to democracy than its opponent.
“We are more committed to the Fourth Republic than any other political party in this country. We do not support any truncation of our current democracy in any way. If somebody said something, he might have said it in some context not that he had any intention or we had any intention to truncate the mandate to the NPP” he said.
“Indeed we must not help the NPP out by truncating their mandate, let them go through the full embarrassment of their four years. If we push them out, they will say “we were just at the verge of delivering our promises and we were taking out”, he added.
Work hard
He further advised them to work hard towards wresting power from the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the 2020 general elections.
He noted that though the NPP had so far proven to be “super incompetent”, the NDC’s victory in the 2020 elections will mostly be dependent on hard work and commitment by party members.
“I must say that we must do hard work. You do not win an election on the weakness of your opponent. You win an election because the electorate has confidence in you to give power to you and so although the NPP has proven to be super incompetent, we cannot sit down and relax and say because of their super incompetence we are going to win the election.”
“We must work hard to convince the electorates that we deserve to be voted into power. We won’t depend on their super incompetence.”
‘Don’t insult Rawlings’
He further advised his party members to be decorous in whatever they do or say, “Let us be decorous in our political discourse even if with our political opponents, and I am not talking within our party, even outside our party let us talk about the ideas and not personal insults”.
He also urged the party member to respect the founder of the party, former President Jerry John Rawlings. ”You might not like something he sees, or you might not like some action he might have taking; you can disagree with his view but don’t insult him. Don’t insult his person”
