Ghanaians don’t trust Mahama anymore – Sir John
Former General Secretary of the New Patriotic
Party, Kwadwo Owusu Afriyie (Sir John), says
President John Dramani Mahama is bound to send the
National Democratic Congress back into opposition
because the Ghanaian people simply do not trust
him anymore.

Sir John says, “The most important ingredient
about leadership is trust. Once the people see you
as a liar or deceiver, there is nothing else you
can do. It is gone. Finished!”

He believes this is where the President is with
three weeks to a referendum on eight years of the
NDC in office.

“The President is so confused in his own lies
that after sacking 23 members of his own party
just a few days ago, and having the founder of his
party and the wife contesting and campaigning
against his re-election bid, he is rather the one
going around with his Vice President and General
Secretary accusing their main opponent as
divisive. This is the sign of a man who believes
he can lie his way through every truth,” Sir
John says of President Mahama.

What is worst for the President, according to Sir
John, is that “John Mahama’s own party people
now see him as a liar. He may be cool. But he lies
and that is not cool at all. Yes, there are some
who will still vote for him. But, when your leader
is a liar and you still keep faith in him, you and
he have a lot in common!”

According to Sir John, John Mahama is like the
politician who was running for re-election and was
talking to his constituents saying, “My opponent
has called me a liar. Rest assured, I have never
lied to you. The only problem I have is that the
facts don’t always match up with what I
believe.”

To the NPP man, if the President stops believing
in his own lies he will begin to see how far his
world is from the reality that 27 million
Ghanaians are facing.

The President “thinks he has done well when he
wakes up in the morning and looks in the mirror in
his marble-floored room,” Sir John remarks.

On top of that, Sir John adds, “President Mahama
and his NDC, in the last eight years have proven
beyond doubt that lying and stealing share the
same compound house. When they are stealing from
you they tell you they are changing your lives.
When they are using their ill-gotten wealth to
transform the circumstances of their friends and
family, they tell you to focus on things that are
not necessary.”

The say-it-as-it-is lawyer says the President and
his team have tried all that they can to divert
public attention from the lies, corruption and
incompetence they have engulfed Ghana in which is
sinking the country and soiling its international
image.

“Have you heard the NDC advert with a voice of a
woman, who is obviously a beneficiary of no ko
fio, saying that she will vote for JM because she
cares about peace and stability? Was Ghana in
turmoil when JM took over? Has any leader
threatened to invade Burkina Faso? People want
jobs, food, accommodation and the dignity that
comes with earning a decent income and you the
President that has caused us misery and pain you
are there talking about peace! Na peace we go
chop?” the NPP former General Secretary queries
the NDC campaign message.

“I have also heard the President talk about
Akufo-Addo as divisive and that the NPP is
divided. Really? Mrs. Rawlings, your former first
lady, who was your party’s vice chairperson
under your government, is now number two on the
ballot paper, next to you. Her husband, the
founder of the party you lead, is saying you are
going to lose the elections next month. He has
refused to campaign for you. You can’t get him
to reconcile with your bad leadership and you have
the nerve to call Akufo-Addo divisive!” Sir John
stressed.

To the NPP man, the President has lied about
everything that “he has even been able to lie to
himself that he is leading a united party when
three of his MPs have filed as independent
candidates and most of the Mills men have been
completely sidelined.”

Sir John is convinced that after eight years of
lies, unemployment, stealing, incompetence and
mass sufferings, John Mahama’s time is up.
“You can fool too many of the people for some
time, but you cannot fool all the people all the
time,” he says in a Wailers way.

Ghanaians unfortunately equated John Mahama’s
“smooth talking to trustworthiness. Not knowing
it was always one big con. He is the typical
‘opoe man’ proper,” Sir John says.

“Ghanaians must just vote John Mahama out to
save him. He is stuck. He is like a man who
travelled to a territory of lies without either a
passport or a return ticket. He needs to be saved.
Mahama is cunning, very corrupt and lies to get
what he wants. He is an ‘opoe man’ – a
conman,” Sir John says.

“If anyone knows someone who wants to vote for
John Mahama,” he said, ” you have to sit them
down and point out that everything John Mahama
says he wants to do is absolutely opposite of what
he has done.”
