Brigadier (rtd) Joseph Nunoo-Mensah <\/strong><\/p>\n

Former National Security Advisor Brigadier (rtd) Joseph Nunoo-Mensah has accused former President John Dramani Mahama of distancing himself from experienced and principled statesmen during his tenure as president.<\/p>\n

He said failure of Mr Mahama to listen to wise counsel contributed to his defeat in 2016.<\/p>\n

The former Chief of Defence Staff made this known in an interview on Hot Issues, which will be fully aired on Saturday, October 5 at 12:30pm.<\/p>\n

Commenting on why he was removed from his position as National Security Advisor, Brigadier Nunoo-Mensah told host Nuong Faalong, \u201cHe changed me because when you are very tough, people do not like handling tough people\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am too hot to handle,\u201d he stressed.<\/p>\n

For him, there was no need of the changes made in government in the aftermath of the demise of John Evans Atta Mills.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt hurt the NDC and it hurt Ghana\u2026they want people that will sing their praises, that will lie down for them but I am too stubborn, too tough, too principled.\u201d<\/p>\n

The retired army officer added that virtually clearing the house of experienced and competent people was an act of Mr Mahama cutting his nose to spite his face.<\/p>\n

And he paid for it in the 2016 elections, he noted. <\/p>\n
