Mahama is so heartless, wicked and corrupt that he wouldn’t blink stealing from a helpless orphan. Please read the following:
Ghana’s President Hurls Insults At Obasanjo At African Forum In London - bloomberg
There was near pandemonium and confusion at the Annual Global African Investment Forum held in Westminster, Central London after a heated exchange between Ghana’s President John Mahama and former Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo degenerated into open insults.This was due to General Obasanjo openly accusing the Ghanaian president and his government of blackmailing and collecting bribes from Nigerian businessmen in Ghana, buying numerous properties in Nigeria and South Africa and financially contributing 12 million dollars to Goodluck Jonathan’s campaign last year. This infuriated President Mahama who lost his temper and pointing his finger, called General Obasanjo an ” idiot” and a “silly buffoon”.It took other ministers present as well as Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni to calm tempers and usher President Mahama to a nearby room. The forum, which takes place from 1st to 3rd December is attended by African Heads of States, Ministers, Private equity firms and investors to discuss opportunities for investment and development in African Economies.

Culled from Bloomberg.

Sir, do you know how much damage Mr. Mahama and his brother Ibrahim would have done to Ghana's economy if they had SIX (6) years??
Four (4) years is enough to stop the kind of wreck Mahama did.

Listen in good faith if you initiate good projects, you do your very best and if you do not win again, the new president takes over from there. Simple. You do not want the country to be locked into a bad presidency for 6 years. That's way too long.

If it we decide to make the presidency a one term,then make it a seven year term. The number seven has a Biblical significance. We ought not to go for the number six. Seven years would also give the President enough time to implement his/her developmental plans.

What is the magic about 6? Why not 10 years? We have 4. That is okay. Four years is even too long sometime.

Renewable mandate ensures accountability. Knowing he or she has to seek another term, the president will be cautious and thread carefully. Ghana doesn't need a carefree President. Even when he knew he needed another mandate from Ghanaians, Mahama ruled recklessly. Thank God he was punished for it. If he had a 6-year non-renewable term, Ghana would be hell.

Good comment from you. I often wonder why a small developing country in west africa called Ghana should every 4 years be putting huge amount of money into elections amidst waste of resources of time and human. The current 4 years is not good enough for a government to take drastic and prudent policies to make us march forward in development. Unlike the US the governance structures are strong and firm so 4 years is ok. We are now nursing these structures. The US did not begin with 4 year term it was one of its president who complained of tiredness after a few years in office that led to the 4- year term. We need to be patient and give each government 6 years to be in office so that they are able to do much better than they are doing now. They appear to be too much at pains not to lose votes in this 4 -year term hence they are unable to let us bite the bulett.

Find out the duration of Prime Ministers in the U.K. and find out for how long the Chancellor of Germany could in power. Are we dreaming?

NO! NO!NO! Imagine if we had to endure 6 solid years under Mahama or any exceptionally bad government; the problems they create and mess they leave behind will be even more difficult to fix.
