READ HIS FULL STATEMENT BELOW

President H.E John Dramani Mahama's victory on the 13th of May, 2023 remains only a format to our Party, the NDC and Ghana's progress.

I wholeheartedly endorse his candidature because, at this time in our history, he is the experienced, most promising, and most competent antidote needed to fix the sorry state of our country, Ghana.

He has honor, professionalism, consistency, and strength of character—attributes every great leader must have but which are not the currency of the NPP.

Furthermore, John Dramani Mahama knows what is wrong with this country and knows what to do about it when given the nod to lead it again.

As a party at this difficult moment in the history of our nation, we must gift Ghana a leader who is capable of holding himself and those around him to high standards of accountability and performance, not one who simply preaches about them in public and becomes their clearing agents when found in corrupt practices.

I have worked with our rescuer, John Dramani Mahama and I know he is the best man to lead our party and Ghana to the promise land.

I am for John
