Mahama is killing statesmanship

The seat of the former president was empty at the 63rd Independence Day Celebration The seat of the former president was empty at the 63rd Independence Day Celebration

6th March, a day for reflection and future vision positioning was abandoned by Mahama. Yes, you heard me Mahama. The youngest but the laziest president in the history of Ghanaian politics who has rendered himself to a doormat status and thrown his statesmanship and Excellency accolade into the stinking lagoon of greed and selfishness.

For no reason, this man has abandoned almost all state gatherings under His Excellency Nana Addo Dankwa Akuffo Addo who has washed clean his (Mahama) once dirty and corrupt regime as President.

Many are of the view that John Mahama has still not come to terms with his humiliating defeat of over one million votes difference given to him by the discerning Ghanaians in the last elections. Hence, he allegedly always wished to deliver the state of the Nation address, take the state salute or inspect the National guard of honor.

Simply, he hates to see Nana Addo Dankwa perform his ceremonial roles in his presence or deliver on his campaign promises.

This unpatriotic and shameful posture of Mahama has really affirmed the assumption of most Ghanaians of been self centred than putting the country first. He preferred campaigning to lead a Nation he once disgraced with his clueless, useless and incompetent regime than honoring state gatherings for the beauty and sustenance of our Democracy.

Ghanaians are demanding attitudinal change from the NDC flag bearer, His Highness the Incompetent Dramani Mahama to place National interest first, show some sense of patriotism and respect to National issues and occasions. He should learn from Former President Kufuor who ignored his party's fresh 2012 pain of defeat to attend to his (Mahama's) inauguration as President. He can consult the gentle giant on tips on how to lead the life of a statesman if he Mahama feels ashamed to contact Former President Rawlings for such advice due to how far he Mahama, has rendered the President Rawlings NDC the most useless political party in Ghana.
