Fixing The Country Movement, says former President John Dramani Mahama is not an alternative to solving Ghana’s problems.
According to the group, Mr. Mahama doesn’t have a single solution to the country’s problems.
In the view of Mr. Ernest Kofi Owusu Bempah, a Political Strategist and Convener of the Group, Mr. Mahama is just desperate to rule the country again, hence his penchant of making false claims of having all the answers to the country’s problems.
The group’s comments follows the Ghana at the Cross Road public lecture by the NDC’s 2020 flagbearer taking a swipe at the Nana Akufo-Addo-led government
But Mr. Owusu Bempah is sure the lecture has further deepened tie already dwindling political fortunes of Mr. Mahama.
“The event which seeks to draw light on the supposed crossroad that the country currently stands actually exposed Mahama’s nakedness. Indeed, Mr Mahama succeeded in dancing naked in front of the intelligent public by the swipe he took at the Akufo-Addo government on what he termed as the politicisation of independent state institutions and the dismissal of those who dared to ensure what is right” he said.

Mr. Owusu Bempah indicated that the Group is not really surprised by Mahama’s callous attempts to try and take a positive credit out of the current global economic crisis, and post pandemic political-economic vulnerabilities, and attempt to present himself as a credible alternative.
“He’s obviously looking for endorsement within the NDC as a result of the looming tsunami of leadership struggle within the NDC” he argued stressing that “However, for John Mahama to hold a public lecture to boast about his governance prowess when we all know what he dished out for four years as president says a lot about his split personality. The simple truth is, Mahama has just exposed himself to public ridicule.”
The group further noted “…we were all in this country and witnessed the presidency of John Mahama. We all saw the highs and lows of the
Mr. Owusu Bempah rather indicated that president Akufo Addo will continue to offer clear visionary leadership, not Mahama’s version of incompetent leadership, that not only diagnosis problems, but seeks to resolve them. He will continue to offer hope and belief in the Ghanaian and Ghana as a whole.
