The founder of the buga buga party knew categorically that Paapa Atta was making a huge mistake by choosing a corrupt and incompetent man his running mate and he has been proved right. This man of no ideas nor policies should never have been close to our Jubilee House let alone occupy the seat of government.

Jealousy will kill you before your death. You embitted because Prof. Mills snubbed you for Mahama. Aren't you rather happy JDM appreciated their votes instead?

TELL YOUR BOSS MAHAMA TO COME OUT OF HIS CLOSET: MAHAMA IS A CHAMELEON WHO CHANGES HIS COLORS SO QUICKLY BECAUSE OF POLITICAL POWER! MAHAMA IS AN OPENLY GAY MAN HIDING BEHIND THE CLOSET!

As a staunch Christian: I don’t hate anyone like how NDC and some people always accuse me of my hate for John Mahama, the NDC presidential candidate for the 2024 elections: Neither do I have favorable opinion for the Gay rights and advocacy. But people who know me in person can attest to my deplore for people who “preach virtues and practice vices”! And that’s exactly what John Mahama is very savvy as his modus operandi!

When the scandal broke about John Mahama’s relationship with the American Gay Rights Activist Andrew Solomon: the former president vehemently denied knowing the American who played a pivotal role in the launching of his (Mahama’s) memoir “My First Coup d’ Etat”. Unbeknownst to many Ghanaians that Mahama has had serious relationship with Solomon several years prior to the launching of the in 2010. And that Andrew Solomon has openly held an interview that was published by the New York Times on 10 February 2013 pertaining to his personal relationship with Mahama!

Again when the NPP activists issued a statement about Mahama’s partying with Solomon, the NDC communications director Sammy Gyamfi and others almost invoked spirits against the NPP communications outfit, claiming that it was a figment of the imagination of the NPP concerning the statement. But before I post some excerpts of the interview for the people to know why detest Mahama and his shenanigans! I warn Ghanaians to be careful of Mahama’s cunning attitude!

“I’ ve neither the ability nor the inclination to meddle in foreign elections, and I paid not one red cent for the book John Mahama inscribed to me. The only way I may have influenced him on gay rights was by welcoming him into the household of a joyful family with two dads. It is deeply unsettling to be implicated in a national scandal, to know that my attempts to be kind and helpful to someone would become his millstone.
On Friday, Feb. 1, the president’s spokesman said that President Mahama didn’t know me. On Saturday, the president called me to apologize. On Sunday, the government issued a statement that Mr. Mahama and I know each other, that I have never made a campaign contribution or persuaded anyone else to do so, and that President Mahama “does not subscribe to homosexualism and will not take any step to promote homosexualism in Ghana.”

This is one of the several statements Andrew Solomon openly made in the New York Times on the above stated date! So I’m sounding a word caution to Ghanaians once again to be careful of Mahama’s cunning attitude ! I SHALL RETURN!

In fact, I really don't know what a leader of Burkina Faso had to do with the nomination of our vice presidential candidate. I am not as 'smart' as and do not write as much as Amidu does, but is he saying Rawlings let our nominees be influenced by what our surrounding country leaders think or want? All I see in the 'fine prints' is a man who cannot let a bitterness of not being a vice presidential candidate nominee go! Maybe Amidu needs to see a Therapist. They can do wonders, but knowing him, he will probably like to dictate to them how to treat him too!

Your level of ignorance is embarrassing. The Moshi of Burkina Faso originated from Ghana and until recently, the Moshie king in Ouagadougou was enskinned by the Nayiri in Nalerigu. It is not the other way round.

JJR has NEVER been Compaore's friend because of Sankara who was his friend! Though JJR let 'sleeping dogs lie' because of good neighborliness, he sidelined completely Compaore and made sure he had nothing to do with him.

Don't be too surprised if the NDC flagbearer names a surprise VEEP candidate, a choice that will shock the world but seal his victory, and make it unbreakable. Reasons are clear

1. Refer to the polls. Who can has enough following to add more votes from day one's

2. The right candidate should be someone who can bring in votes to cross the 50%, votes from a particular region, undecided and floating voters, eloquent and clear headed and attractive across all parties.

3. Are we saying that JDM has be consulting, negotiating for this all the while only to revert

It's clear Martin Amidu is confused. He was peeved that Mills did not make him his Vice. In any party, many are those who will be disappointed that the one who is the final authority did not choose them for one post or another. However, the wise ones who fall into this category know that being bypassed today does not mean you will be bypassed always. It takes wisdom to know that your party's victory in a next election is more important than any personal interest. It is in this category that I find Amidu as very unwise. When Mills did not choose him as his Vice, he foolishly took it as the world has collapsed and became disloyal to president Mills and his own party. In his anger against his own party, he thought he could gain something from NDC's opponents, the NPP but time has proved that, he couldn't cope in the company of the one he himself described as the Mother Serpent of Corruption. Unless he repents, his career in public life is totally destroyed.
