Former Deputy General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Nana Obiri Boahen has asked Ghanaians to consider John Dramani Mahama’s hometown as they go to the polls to elect a new leader.

He said John Dramani Mahama has walked through the corridors of power to become Vice President and President but could not do anything to give his hometown a facelift.

To him, such a person should not be allowed to lead Ghana because of his selfishness.

“Here you have somebody as a president saying Free Senior High School is impossible. He sponsored adverts. Someone comes and implements Free Senior High School. As President, you said free SHS is impossible; if we were not in Africa, do you think Mahama has the moral, legal, and constitutional right to lead a political party?"

"John Mahama’s hometown, Bole Bamboi is still a district. John Mahama has been Vice President and President but could not elevate them to a municipal level. It is inhuman for John Mahama to be president when Bole Bamboi did not receive any facelift to become a municipal," he said.

On calls on Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia to cancel E-levy because he is in government, Nana Obiri Boahen defended Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia’s inability to cancel some taxes deemed a nuisance to the people of Ghana until he becomes President.

“At any point in time, it is the President. Bawumia can just say he does not agree with the e-levy but the constitution says the Cabinet assists, so where lies the fact that Bawumia has been honest and fair with Ghanaians?" he said.
