I Prefer Colonial Rule To Mahama's Mediocre Leadership - �Obiri Boahen

NPP’s Deputy Chief scribe, Nana Obiri Boahen wants Ghana’s colonial masters, the British to return and ‘takeover’ the country.

He explained that – their (colonial master's) leadership is better than the current NDC administration led by President John Dramani Mahama.

According to him, the Mahama-led administration is reversing Ghana’s development with his “mediocre leadership” – he also tagged the President as the “most corrupt” leader ever in the history of the country.

His comment comes after President Mahama denied strongly a car gift from a Burkinabe contractor as a bribe – the President was emphatic that the allegation leveled against him is “baseless”.

President Maama has received a lot of flak from anti-graft bodies and opposition parties recently over a revelation that he received a Ford Expedition from a Burkinabe contractor, who, in turn, was awarded with contracts by the government of Ghana.

The vehicle which was given to President Mahama in 2012 by a Burkinabe contractor, Oumarou Djibril Kanazoe has raised questions about the possibility of the President engaging in a conflict of interest situation.

However, speaking on NEAT FM’s morning show 'Ghana Montie', the NPP leading member says the president’s reply to the allegation is “unfortunate”.

“We have a long way to go as a country. I weep for Ghana. If that type of mediocre leadership can’t stop, then I prefer the colonial leadership. Everything is in a mess under this leadership,” he said.
