Sir John\u2019s comeback would be like attending a funeral and announcing your presence by giving some donations to the bereaved and getting served with food. After that recognition had been given to you, nobody will recognise you again if you decide to leave and later come back to the funeral grounds. Sir John\u2019s time is over and so any attempt to stage a comeback will be suicidal and could result in shame for him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When the NDC Chief Scribe was asked whether Sir John\u2019s situation was not akin to that of the former president and NDC presidential candidate, who lost heavily in the 2016 general elections, he said the two scenarios were completely different.<\/p>\n<p>Asiedu Nketia said that he would not talk about the former President Mahama and that it would not be right to compare the two.<\/p>\n<p>Former President Mahama\u2019s decision to stage a comeback was given a further boost over the weekend when he led a \u2018Unity Walk\u2019 in Tamale with Asiedu Nketia in attendance, but some party bigwigs were conspicuously absent during the Tamale walk.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The General Secretary of the main opposition party, National Democratic Congress (NDC), Johnson Asiedu Nketia, yesterday shot himself in the foot by stating that it would be unwise for former General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Kwadwo Owusu Afriyie, to vie for the same position again However, Mr Nketia disclosed that same cannot [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":408370,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-418149","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-politics"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Asiedu Nketia shoots self - AdomOnline.com - Ghanamma.com<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2017\/09\/14\/asiedu-nketia-shoots-self-adomonline-com\/\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:title\" content=\"Asiedu Nketia shoots self - AdomOnline.com - Ghanamma.com\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:description\" content=\"The General Secretary of the main opposition party, National Democratic Congress (NDC), Johnson Asiedu Nketia, yesterday shot himself in the foot by stating that it would be unwise for former General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Kwadwo Owusu Afriyie, to vie for the same position again However, Mr Nketia disclosed that same cannot [&hellip;]\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@ghanamma\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@ghanamma\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.ghanamma.com\\\/2017\\\/09\\\/14\\\/asiedu-nketia-shoots-self-adomonline-com\\\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.ghanamma.com\\\/2017\\\/09\\\/14\\\/asiedu-nketia-shoots-self-adomonline-com\\\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"\",\"@id\":\"\"},\"headline\":\"Asiedu Nketia shoots self &#8211;
