Mahama coming back as president is an insult to Ghana - Prince David Osei

Ghanaian actor Prince David Osei has said the flagbearer of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Mahama, wanting to be elected as president again is an insult to the entire Ghana. 

According to him, he does not see why Mr. Mahama, after serving in public office from being an Assembly member through to an MP and then President, should still want to return to the presidency. 

Speaking on GHOne TV, monitored by GhanaWeb, Prince David Osei said he believes John Mahama has seen it all in public office, and there's nothing more he can offer to further develop Ghana. 

"He has been an assemblyman, a Minister of Information, he has been a Parliamentarian, he has been a vice president; technically, he was more like the president when late Atta Mills was in power because he was sick. So, he was more like the person running the show from behind. Then he became president. 

"I don't have a problem with the man; he is such a nice gentleman. He has done enough for Ghana. My issue is that Ghana has a population of 33 million. Why must it be one man to become president, go through all the ranks, and then come back again? It looks like an insult to the whole of Ghana. It looks like the whole country; there's nobody who can manage the affairs of Ghana, and we have to bring an ex-president. With the creative arts sector, I don't remember any landmarks during his tenure with the creative arts sector,” Prince David Osei stated.
