What President Mahama said to a citizen urging him to contest for a third term

President John Dramani Mahama has responded to a citizen who appeared impressed with his performance and called on him to contest again for the presidency after completing his tenure.

The President, who has already served a first term and returned to office for a second term, was captured in a vehicle leaving a programme venue when the incident occurred.

A large crowd had gathered at the location and an elderly man was heard loudly shouting, “Mr President, go again! Go and contest again, because if you don’t, I will take you to court!”

In response, President Mahama, who was seated in his car, smiled broadly and said, “I have heard you,” while continuing to wave at the public as his vehicle moved away.

The man was later engaged by another individual to explain his statement.

He noted that he wanted the President to contest again so he could continue his good work.

“Mr President if you don’t contest again I will take you to court”
