And so they won\u2019t do another trial\u2019\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, \u2018\u2019The same people are advocating for someone who earlier failed and was rejected. It\u2019s amazing they can\u2019t see the huge contradiction\u2019\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>He explained that \u2018\u2019That position is illogical when they advocate for JM. You tried JM and Nana Addo and you claim They failed! DMB has not been tried and he has not failed as President!! So that logic falls flat\u2019\u2019\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018\u2019By the trial logic. The person left is DMB. If you are not to return to the certified proven failure then Only DMB is qualified. I am simply saying. Give the man a fair hearing. He is not Nana Addo. And he has been the best VP in Ghana\u2019s history,\u2019\u2019 he added.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018\u2019In life, we move forward, don\u2019t go back!! especially to what you tried and failed when you have a fresh choice. For me, Even if I will make a mistake I will Make it going forward not backward\u2019,\u2019 he noted.<\/p>\n<p><strong>-BY Daniel Bampoe<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><!-- AI CONTENT END 2 -->\n\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kofi Bentil \u00a0 Lawyer and Senior Vice President of IMANI-Africa, Kofi Bentil, has voiced his unwavering support for Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia by justifying why he [Bawumia] deserves to be the next President of Ghana with the reasons that Ghanaians should consider and vote for him to win the 2024 general elections.
