Former President John Dramani Mahama

Mahama’s ‘greedy’ friends caused NDC defeat – Group
A group calling itself NDC Action Movement has
blamed the party’s horrendous performance in
last year’s presidential and parliamentary
elections to the greedy nature of the people close
to former president John Mahama.

Addressing a press conference Monday in Accra, the
spokesperson for the group Kojo Hamenya Keglo
berated the wisdom behind the former president’s
appointment of the likes of Kofi Adams, Omane
Boamah, Sherry Aryettey, Stan Dobge and many
others as the cog to push for his re-election
bid.

“We want to know from JM [John Mahama] the
wisdom in making Kofi Adams the [2016 campaign
coordinator of the Mahama re-election bid],” he
demanded as he described the appointment as the
“the worst mistake” they had done as a party.
He said due to the various scandals that rocked
the former president and his ministerial
appointees “hard working party faithful”
refused to associate themselves with the campaign
to get Mahama re-elected.

He said the Communications Minister Omane Boamah
instead of projecting the president would come and
sit on public television saying the opposition
leader then, Akufo-Addo cannot be president.

He said the whole 2016 campaign lacked clear cut
message asking, “are massive infrastructure and
changing lives and transforming Ghana campaign
messages?”

He added: “The former president, his wife,
brothers and sisters and greedy friends created
all kinds of mushroom organs such us Celebrities
for Mahama, Ladies for Mahama… setting aside
party structures. How can you win elections with
these?”
