Former President John Dramani Mahama says the decision to file his nomination to lead the National Democratic Congress (NDC) into the 2024 elections, is because he stands out as the best candidate among his competitors to beat whomever the New Patriotic Party (NPP) will present, in 2024.

According to the former President, the mere mention of his name, frightens the NPP to the core.

Addressing party delegates in Somanya, as part of his 3-day tour of the Eastern Region, Mr. Mahama who indicated that it is not the time to take a risk with a new person, claims other aspirants do not stand a chance against the NPP, going into the 2024 elections. Hence, his decision to come back.

“I wouldn’t have contested If I was sure that my contenders for the NDC presidential slot could stand against the NPP and win the 2024 general elections, but we cannot take the risk. The only person the NPP fears amongst NDC members is me, John Dramani Mahama.
“They [NPP] are unable to sleep when they hear my name, that’s why they have been calling for a fresh person. Are you the ones to tell us what we should do? It’s none of your business, I believe God has given us the power already.”

Mahama Turns Seir

Former President John Dramani Mahama says God has been visiting him lately and assuring him of the victory ahead. He says God has shown him visions that the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), will emerge victorious in the 2024 general elections.

According to him, God said he has given him power to be President in 2024 and that is the will of God.

Speaking to delegates of the NDC in Okyere in the Eastern Region on Tuesday, April 11, Mr. Mahama, who is on a 3-day campaign tour of the Eastern region, foretold that “By God’s grace we have the experience, we didn’t buy it in the store, we didn’t learn it in school, it is God who gave us the opportunity to gather that experience.”

“Don’t worry about what some people are saying, it is God’s will. I attend church and when I pray, God speaks to me and God has said this is the time for NDC, he has given us power. If God decides, no one can change it. Let us continue to pray and trust that what has been arranged, will come to pass.”

He further told all Parliamentary candidate hopefuls of the NDC, to engage in a decent campaign.

“Let us not resort to insult because we are one family, this is one party. We are looking for one thing, power. Let us support whoever will be elected parliamentary candidate and when your time comes, you will also be supported.

“It is not only the MP that we have, if we come to power, we have board chairmen, we have Ambassadors, DCEs and a lot of appointments. And so if you don’t become an MP, you will get an appointment. So let us keep the campaign decent and when one person has emerged, let us all support that person and let the party come to power.”
