Attempts by some senior members of the National Democratic Congress to push an agenda to get former President Mahama elected as Presidential candidate for the party, has been described as nauseating by the Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party.
Mr. Bernard Antwi-Boadiako, indicted the NDC by noting that the opposition party should have copied the style of the People’s Democratic Party in Nigeria if they want to become a formidable force in election 2020.
He explained that rather than invest time and resources in resuscitating the political career of former President Mahama, they should look at ways of promoting another candidate who can stand President Akufo-Addo in 2020.
The Ashanti Regional Chairman of the NPP who is popularly known as Chairman Wontumi, explained that the NDC should take a clue from the PDP in Nigeria who have replaced Goodluck Jonathan with Atiku Abubakar as their presidential candidate.
“We all know how difficult it is for the NDC to learn but it was be a grave sin for them to attempt voting for John Mahama again as their presidential candidate. They know it is a wrong move but I will encourage and force them to elect John again. He brings no competition to the table”, Chairman Wontumi said.
He went on to state that “ the NDC is banking their hopes on a PDP victory but are refusing to see the steps the party have undertaken to become strong. The PDP is being led by a stronger and fresh candidate but the NDC, is going to be led by a loser and his name is John Mahama”.
Linking his argument to historical events, Chairman Wontumi stated that in 1996 when the New Patriotic Party wanted to capture political power, they voted massively for former President John Agyekum Kufuor to replace a fine gem like Prof. Albert Adu Boahen during their internal contest.
Kufuor’s victory during the internal contest, paved way for the NPP’s victory in 2000, Chairman Wontumi added.
For this reason, he urged the NDC not to think about winning the 2020 elections with John Mahama as their leader.
“It is a mistake I will force them to commit. We need John Mahama again to make the NPP’s victory easier in 2020. The emergence of John Mahama would allow us to compare his shameful track record to that of President Akufo-Addo. We would see if the bus branding saga under John Mahama which caused the state to lose money is better than National Entrepreneurship and Innovation Program by Nana Addo, designed to provide support and reduce hardships of entrepreneurs.”

CHAIRMAN WONTUMI I WISH YOU WILL KEEP THIS ADVICE TO YOURSELF BECAUSE THE NDC DOES NOT MERIT TO BE ADVISED. THEY LACK BASIC KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING THAT THEY THINK EVERYTHING CAN BE ARCHIVED THROUGH VIOLENCE. HOW CAN MAHAMA A SUPPOSED FORMER PRESIDENT GATHER DIPLOMATS TO SHOW THEM A VIDEO OF VIOLENCE IN A BY ELECTION?.DOES HE NOT KNOW THAT THE INVESTORS WE SEEK TO INVEST TO CRATE JOBS IN THE SYSTEM COME FROM OUTSIDE? HOW DOES HE EXPECT THESE DIPLOMATS TO ADVICE THEIR COUNTRY MEN THAT GHANA IS A SAFE PLACE AND THEREFORE THEY CAN COME AND INVEST WITH THEIR HARD EARNED CASH. NONE OF THE NDC CONTESTANTS HAVE A PROFOUND VISION FOR GHANA TO PROPEL US TO ANY LIMITS. THEY ARE ALL ***barred word*** HYENAS IN GOATS SKIN.I WISH NO GHANAIAN WILL VOTE FOR THE NDC. AFTER 20YEARS OF RAWLINGS RULE COUPLED WITH ATTA MILLS,MAHAMA WHAT DOES THE NDC HAVE TO SHOW TO GHANAIANS APART FROM LOOT CRATE AND SHARE ETC. GHANAIANS!, WE MUST BEWARE IN LETTING THE HYENAS OUT OF THEIR CAGES ONLY TO COME AND CONSUME THE GOATS.
Look at this PEACOCK, when some ill-ghanaians vote for villagers like him, this what happens, this guy has no wisdom
Only in Ghana this ***barred word*** Wontumi can reign just to cross to that small country ruled by father and son, like by now they gun him down but he should wait
How do you call this brilliant assessment a confused character? this is why he said it is difficult fir thd ndc to learn and he is absolutely right! any serious party with serious people who go back to the table after that humiliating defeat and setting up a committee to investigate why that humiliation and out of the report start from there to amend but not ndc! all they know is win at all cost by fair or rigging! and they think since Charlotte Osei is not there for the rigging they will resort to violence instead of policies and visions hence the Ayawaso saga which was a dress rehearsal for the ndc towards election 2020 and when they faced stiffer resistance they are now running to the international community to see if they could get favours and that too has backfired! I thought by now the diplomats that mahama met would come out with something but nothing because they know who are talking so don't take them serious! it's a disgrace to john mahama himself for exposing himself as a weak leader and not serious! how can you sent azorka boys to hurt Ghanaians and when resisted turn round to blame those who were there to protect Ghanaians? or John mahama think the diplomats are one of those ndc bobolebobo group? The Battle is the Lord's is still working that anything ndc does will never be taking serious by anyone!they've been disgraced big time by the silence of the diplomats john mahama showed those false videos he thought was going to favour him and his ndc! when jihn mahama sent Ako Gunn and ndc hoodlums to then candidate Nana Addo Dankwah Akufo Addo's residence to throw stones and bottles Nana wasn't even there and said nothing but the diplomats themselves came out to condemn it and john mahama in charge that time said nothing let alone to apologize to the opposition leader so how do you expect the same diplomats to take you serious when you sent those guys to do the same thing and this time got more than they could chew ! ndc are not serious so they will rot in opposition!
He is just and confused character.
Asem oooo! Wontumi is now a nigerian too?
