NDC: ‘I stand a better chance than John Mahama’, ‘his name is sullied with corruption’– Kojo Bonsu
The former NDC Kumasi Mayor Kojo Bonsu said for now he stands a better chance in leading NDC to victory in 2024 than former President John Dramani Mahama because of the numerous corruption and women affair tag against him. According to Mr. Bonsu, the former President has become unattractive to the floating voter. He made the pronouncement during an interview on Citi TV Lifestyle Show monitored by Apexnewsgh.com Mr. Bonsu stated that he is contesting because “There is a vacancy and that is why we are all contesting the seat”, he said, adding: “It is democracy and our party believes in democracy, so, we don’t push people to take over. We don’t want that”. “So, if one is given the chance and he wins it, he will do the job. So, it is fair we all do it”, he noted. “One other reason I am contesting is not that I hate President Mahama. No. What has he done to me?”, he asked. “The problem is that people have lied a lot in this country about John Mahama. They put corruption on him”, Mr. Bonsu said. “They have said a lot of things against him that you can’t even take it off. NDC has the numbers in terms of votes but NPP has really soiled John Mahama that I feel so sad.” According to him, the NDC, as a party, has not helped the situation. “We should have redeemed him Mahama long ago but he doesn’t have a chance now”, he pointed. “Let’s bring in a fresh person so that the swing voters wouldn’t have anything to say against President Mahama”. He stressed, “I stand a better chance than Mahama because I have not been soiled. So, that is where I come in”. “It’s so sad”, he bemoaned, pointing out: “He Mr. Mahama is a great gentleman, speaks very well, very affable but he has been put in the mud so much”. “They have tagged him with corruption, women’s affairs and we the NDC have not been able to defend it and get him out of it”, he stated. He believes, “if the party had corrected this, we wouldn’t have come to this level”. “If we want to win the 2024 elections, I think let’s bring someone like me”, he appealed. “I am eligible to do it. It’s not an issue of fighting Mahama, insulting the former President or doing anything but the situation we find ourselves in, let’s try someone new and see if it will work.” He said. Mr. Kojo Bonsu is a Ghanaian businessman, sports administrator and politician, who served as the Metropolitan Chief Executive of the Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly from 2013 to 2016.
