WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF YOU HAVE A PRESIDENT LIKE MAHAMA WITH A 6 YEAR TERM? Then, we would wish it were a 2 year term.

Why, this is an old call that should not be made at this early stage of the NPP government. If anything at all not by Wontumi. There were calls for Mahama to even step down midway because he was being measured within that short period. If after wasting his time for 8 months in court Mahama attained what he left behind then just focus on the four years because this issue will come to pass but not today. God bless.

Now that you have tasted power it is good for five or six years then let's bring NDC back for the remaining two years. You will go back to opposition in 2020

If we must increase the presidential term,the number seven is perfect.
The number seven is a number of fullness and therefore, a seven year term will be appropriate.

If this proposal is allowed to ramble on because those in positions of authority are interested ,because they seek to stay in power for longer,it must be made clear to them that they cannot decide on the issue.ONLY THE PEOPLE MUST DECIDE! A REFERUNDUM VOTE MUST BE PUT TO GHANAIANS AND THE MAJORITY VOTE WILL BE THE FINAL SAY, BUTWITH ROOM FOR A CHANGE OF MIND WHERE NECESSARY, FOR A NEW REFERENDUM VOTE ON THE ISSUE EVERY FIVE YEARS.

If you do a good job in 4 years,you will be rewarded with another 4 years..We definitely do not need to be saddled with 6 years of a non performing government.

You said and I quote : "When former President Kufuor made this call during his final days in office, many of us did not understand him but he was right; now look at the pressure on the President, His Excellency Nana Addo Dankwah Akufo Addo, to assemble a team for his government, he has to spend several months to do this and before we realize the year has ended," Chairman Wontumi stated.

No one should increase any term. Let the people give an incumbent another 4 years if he deserves it. Let his performance talk for him.
