\"FormerFormer President of Ghana, John Dramani Mahama<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Son of the first president and founder of the modern republic of Ghana, Sekou Nkrumah has said former President John Mahama who is seeking re-election does not deserve any shot at the presidency because his thinking is not futuristic; MyNewsGh.com reports.<\/p>\n

According to the US-based classroom teacher, he has no problem with another four years for the ruling NPP under Akufo-Addo and Bawumia.<\/p>\n

Justifying his stance, Sekou said \u201cit is not like we don\u2019t know what JM can do? We know exactly how he performed as a leader, he brought nothing new to the table, and it was business as usually! I believe this is a deadly recipe for disaster in a developing country as ours.\u201d<\/p>\n

Explaining further, he wrote: \u201cWhat we need is a dynamic leadership with the capacity to build. And I am not talking about the so called infrastructure the NDC taunts as Mahama\u2019s legacy! I am talking about building a future with a mindset of 2020 not 1920!<\/p>\n

See his full opinion below:<\/b><\/p>\n

I honestly don\u2019t think Mahama deserves another shot at the presidency! And I have no problem with another four years of NPP.<\/p>\n

It is not like we don\u2019t know what JM can do? We know exactly how he performed as a leader, he brought nothing new to the table, and it was business as usually! I believe this is a deadly recipe for disaster in a developing country as ours.<\/p>\n

What we need is a dynamic leadership with the capacity to build. And I am not talking about the so-called infrastructure the NDC taunts as Mahama\u2019s legacy! I am talking about building a future with a mindset of 2020 not 1920!<\/p>\n

What I mean is that you don\u2019t create a new world when your mind is still living in the past!<\/p>\n

For example building schools for the future is not creating classroom blocks with enough room to fill desks and chairs, rather for our kids to have access to technology through the digital world! Digital literacy is the way forward<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
