Former Deputy Upper East Regional Cultural Officer at the National Commission on Culture (NCC), Patrick Azika, has advised party members of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) to forget bringing back John Mahama or face disaster in the 2020 elections.
Speaking at a constituency meeting on Wednesday, June 21, Mr. Azika cautioned members of the party to carve a new route if the party is ready to come back to power in 2020.
According to Mr. Azika, party executives should be cautious with who leads the party because it will be hell to witness another loss in the 2020 polls.
Mr. Azika also called on former President, John Dramani Mahama to rescind any decision to contest in the interest of the party and enjoy his emoluments as a former president.
Mr Azika is of the view that former Minister of Trade and Industry, Dr Ekwow Spio-Garbrah is the affable candidate with the charisma of appealing to floating voters and party sympathisers.
The comment was made after the final submission of the Prof. Kwesi Botchwey committee report, which was to pave way for aspirants planning to contest the flagbearership of the NDC to begin lobbying for potential delegates across the constituencies.
Although there are equally qualified persons to lead the party, Azika thinks this is the time for the party to come together to assess individual skills, experience and the potential to capture power in 2020 elections.

Who is Mr Azika? if he doesn't have anything sensible to say he should go and sleep. Mahama is the one to lead us again in 2020 even if we lose, in 2024 he would lead us again. We want someone that has already marketed himself and not a future candidate. Spio's time would come so he should relax. I like Spio but this is not the time for a candidate that would be new the people especially the grassroot.
Is John Mahama not tall and handsome anymore? Isn't his name John? I thought only Johns, who are tall and handsome can rule this nation and 'Nana can NEVER be president'??
God is wonderful...they have forgotten how they teased nana addo..bring mahama again and we will tru$h him more than 2016.we will retire him in 2020...
THIS IS A CLEAR CASE OF AN ACTION IN FUTILITY. WHO SAYS SPIO-GARBRAR EKOW IS MORE ATTRACTIVE CANDIDATE THAN JOHN MAHAMA? EVEN THE BLIND PERSON{WITH THE GREATEST RESPECT FOR THE VISUALLY CHALLENGED} CAN SENCE THE WORLD OF DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MAHAMA AND SPIO_GARBRAR. NDC,WE RISK LOSING AGAIN IF WE PRESENT A FUTURE CANDIDATE NOW.THE MATERIAL GOOD FOR THE NDC IN 2020 ELECTION IS JOHM MAHAMA. HE HAS THE REALISTIC CHANCE FOR US.THE OPPOSITION CAN TAUNT ON ROOFTOPS THAT MAHAMA IS CORRUPT,IT IS JUST THE BARKING OF HUNGRY DOG. THE NOISE OF A DOMESTICATED TURKEY IN FACT IT ONLY SOUNDS LIKE A GUN BUT IN REALITY IT IS NOT. MASTER AZIKA MAKE YOUR OBSERVATION ON THE GROUND PROPERLY BEFORE YOU TALK ABOUT SPIO_GARBRAR
NDC should bring the greedy and corrupt John Mahama and he will get 30% of the votes... This will be a very good news for the NPP. We must not allow these NDC nation wreckers to rule this country again.
