Mahama seeking re-election to satisfy 'lustful desires' - Chairman Wontumi

The Ashanti regional chairman of the New Patriotic Party has issued a stern warning to Ghanaians to avoid making a grave mistake of voting for former Presisent Mahama in 2020.

Mr. Bernard Antwi-Boasiako has explained that the main reason the former leader is seeking to occupy the Presidential seat again is solely to satisfy his "lustful" desires and not to bring about positive change and development to Ghanaians.

Quoting from the Bible, the NPP Chairman read out James 4:3 which states that “When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures.”

Linking it to former President’s re-election bid, the NPP scribe popularly known as Chairman Wontumi stated that “there nothing good in Mahama for Ghana. He wants to come back and continue the create, loot and share mantra. He wants to come again and bequeath state resources into the hands of his family and friends. He won’t be President again; for he makes this request with bad intentions”.

The flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama, has promised to provide all the six newly created regions with a regional hospital each when he wins the 2020 elections.

“It has remained our policy as NDC that every region must have a well-functioning regional hospital. When we assume government in 2021, therefore, I want to promise you the people of Bono East Region and all the other five newly created regions, that we shall begin the construction of six new regional hospitals in the regions”, Mr. Mahama announced.

He was speaking at Techiman after the inauguration of an office complex for the Bono East Region of the NDC.

The former president noted that the NDC has never been a party that lies to the people.

Chairman Wontumi noted that the flashy lifestyle of former President Mahama and the opulence he displayed during his time as President, is still fresh in the minds of Ghanaians making it difficult to entrust the future of this country into his hands.

"He (Mahama) is going round asking Ghanaians to vote for him again. He is only seeking to be reelected simply to come back and satisfy his lustful desires. He wants to dip his hands into state moneys and use for unnecessary stuff again. It won’t ever happen again. He should forget about the Presidency, he won’t occupy the seat again", Chairman Wontumi said.
