The President, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo
Flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama, has said President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo will hand over political power to him in the coming months whether he likes it or not.
John Dramani Mahama, while speaking at a mini community durbar at Widana, a suburb of Pusiga constituency of the Upper East Region, said that the president fears that he will be accountable for the crimes his government and allies have committed, hence he is doing all things possible to ensure the Vice President, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, succeeds him to cover his tracks.
“Whether President Akufo-Addo likes it or not, he will painfully hand over to me because he will have no choice. Ghana is for all of us. One family and a few people cannot steal state resources and wish to go scot-free,” he said, according to a report on johnmahama.org.
The NDC’s 2024 presidential candidate also touched on the leaked ‘AGYAPADIE’ document and indicated that Ghana is not for a family, but for the entire citizenry.
“I am sure you have heard of the AGYAPADIE document. AGYAPADIE means inheritance. These people think the country is their inheritance and are bequeathing what is for all of us to themselves.
“Now, they say the document is fake. Let’s assume it is fake, so how come all the things mentioned in that book are being implemented?”
John Dramani Mahama reiterated his commitment to fight corruption in his government and prosecute past government officials who will be found guilty of corruption.
“My commitment to fight corruption will not be limited to NPP officials alone. I will equally go after my appointees if they are also found to be corrupt,” he said.
