Barely 100 days since President Akufo-Addo resumed office, the Former Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Free Zones Board; Kwadwo Twum Boafo believes many Ghanaians have already regretted not retaining John Mahama as president in the 2016 December polls.

Speaking on GhOne TV’s State of Affairs yesterday, Kwadwo Twum Boafo asserted that he believes a comeback for John Mahama in 2020 will be a good move for the National Democratic Congress (NDC) to win power because Ghanaians are now blaming themselves for choosing President Akufo-Addo over Mahama.

“I think President Mahama should run again and I tell you why, I think that there are going to be so many I told you so moments in the next four years, in fact they have already started”, he said

His reasons for making such assumptions were based on Nana Akufo-Addo’s elephant-sized government where 110 people were appointed as Ministers.

President Akufo-Addo’s appointment of 110 ministers has caused ruckus from the opposition party and many organizations criticizing his reasons for having a large size government.

But the Minister of Information, Mustpha Hamid at a press conference defended the President’s decision of appointing more ministers saying the President never promised a lean government in his campaign promises as the opposition claim.
