Ghanaian actor Prince David Osei has said that the National Democratic Congress (NDC) bringing former President, John Dramani Mahama again to run for President is a big insult to Ghanaians.
Speaking in an interview with Zionfelix, the actor quizzed the NDC if there wasn’t anybody who could stand for the party as a flagbearer other than former President, John Mahama.
“I mean you’ve been President, I don’t know but you’ve been President and just after four years, you want to come back to become a President again? To me, I feel like it’s an insult to the nation. It’s an insult because for a flagbearer they could have nominated any other person.
John Mahama was Vice President when Attah Mills was President and with his unfortunate demise, he became President before he was voted into power. So, I believe he has served his term and there is the need for another person to take over. Let’s say if NDC had come up with a different candidate, let’s say Allan Bagbin, Ekow Spio Gabrah and any other people, I personally would have probably rooted for him,”
But this is a situation whereby the Ex-President Mahama has become a President, he’s finished his term and he’s coming back and it beats my mind but I might be wrong. So, the whole of Ghana, the whole of NDC there’s nobody to stand apart from him? I don’t know but…there’s nobody? No eligible, no efficient leader?
Then when that happens it’s a problem. It’s like leadership wise there’s a problem. It has to be him. He’s come to serve his term he’s gone and he’s coming back again and this is Ghana and we are a population about 35 million so we can’t get one person to represent? Do you get the logic? Yeah, cos I mean you’ve been President, I don’t know but you’ve been President and just after four years, you want to come back to become a President again? To me, I feel like it’s an insult to the nation. It’s an insult because for a flagbearer they could have nominated any other person,” he said.
Mr Osei went ahead and pleaded with Ghanaians to vote for President Akuffo Addo for him ( Akuffo Addo) to finish what they’ve started.
He indicated that’s it’s imperative for Ghanaians to support the Akufo-Addo administration to be able to finish whatever they have started in order to build Ghana and make it a better place.
