Former President John Mahama has bemoaned the arrogance of government appointees once they assume the reins of the country.
Speaking at the commemoration of the 38th-anniversary of the 31st December 1981 coup at the Winneba Lorry Park in the Central Region on Tuesday, 31 December 2019, Mr Mahama, said: “Leaders lack modesty and humility in public office”.
“When one has been appointed into public office, they feel an entitlement, a right, and, in the end, they do not serve at the pleasure of the people of Ghana”, he observed.
The flag bearer of the main opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) said rather than serving the electorate, government officials focus on looting state resources as fast as they can before the next elections are held.
“Everybody wants to get a fair share of the cake before the next political party comes in again”, he complained, adding: “It makes leaders believe the only means to get a fair share of the cake is to auction the political party to the highest bidder”.

Ghanaians, sit up. The man is confessing what he did prior to the 2016 election. He thinks everyone is like him. Kindly take your time and read what he said and you will see his picture and his appointees in it. Confession paaa nie!
Mahama is confusing himself. When did he and Asiedu reconciled with Rawling? After calling him (Rawlings) caged dog, they now have mouths and talk at his commemoration. Mahama left something at the presidency which he has to go for so if it will take him to eat with DEATH in order to come to power he will do, trust mr
This Kanazoe ford bribeman lacks common sense and wisdom..... He has no election message for voters. He gave the country's bauxite to his brother. Corrupt man

John Mahama is being hunted by the ***barred word*** and looking that went on during his presidency.
With all due respects HE pls if its abt humility advice the Valerie sawyerrs and ofosu kwaakyes,who are ya mates, who call ya founder a coup maker who shd think b4 talking. And u gladly sit beside the coup maker to commemorate a'coup event'? Will they still speak for you and be ya assistants? God save the NDC. Practice wat u preach. The little ***barred word*** stuuupidd boy went to call Mr Rawlings names on okayfm and u didn't chastisehim and now u have the effontory to speak abt others? We are all going to send our votes to the constituency he is standing and show him the party was founded by a coup maker. Fiafitooo
Mahama has still got it for jokes and entertainment. Impressive. Can he tell Ghanaians which state resources the gov't is ***barred word***? As far as Ghanaians are concerned, state resources were parceled off and looted wayback in the 80's and 90's under the P(NDC) and even under Mahama himself. The example of the bauxite comes to mind. So unless Mahama is experiencing a bout of remorse for his conduct in office and now in the mode of confession, one can take this bit as Mahama living on an alternate universe.
