Alhaji Bature, Managing Editor of the Alhajj Newspaper has said he is not least surprised that the National Democratic Congress (NDC) suffered a humiliating defeat in the 2016 General Elections.
According to him, he warned them when the signs were clear that they were losing but they rather tagged him a New Patriotic Party (NPP) member instead of heeding to his advice.
Chairperson of the Electoral Commission, Madam Charlotte Osei on Friday 9th December declared the three-time Flagbearer of the largest opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) Nana Akufo Addo winner of the general elections after he polled 5,716, 026 votes to beat the incumbent President John Dramani Mahama who garnered 4,713,277 votes out of the 10,615,361 valid votes cast.
The results were votes from 271 out of 275 constituencies as declared by the Electoral Commission Chairperson, Charlotte Osei.
Aside losing the Presidential seat, the NDC lost most of its Parliamentary seats to the NPP of which the party was so confident on winning due to the massive infrastructural development seen during President Mahama’s reign.
Speaking on Adom TV on Tuesday, Alhaji Bature emphasized that it would have been a different story if the NDC heeded to his advice.
He believes the behavior of some top officials in the NDC made the party unattractive to many Ghanaians, a situation he says contributed to the loss of the party.
Meanwhile, Alhaji Bature is of the view that Ghanaians made a mistake by voting President Mahama out because he is the best President Ghana has ever had in terms of Infrastructural.
He counseled the NDC to rejuvenate and bounce back stronger in the next elections which Is in the year 2020.

Somebody should tell bature he is one of the people who caused mahama to lose. Hi tried to vilify Nana, criminalized him but ended making Nana popular and won the sympathy of the voters.
DO GHANAIANS FORGET THAT THE MILLS/MAHAMA ADMINS ARE THE FIRST AND ONLY ADMIN TO HAVE HAD OIL REVENUE BOTH AS USABLE REVENUE AND AS COLLATERAL FOR LOANS. ALL MAHAMA DID WAS TO BORROW MASSIVELY, INFLATE THE PROJECT COSTS FOR HIS CUT AND THOSE OF HIS CRONIES. NANA ADDO WILL DO 2 TIMES WHAT MAHAMA DID IN 4 YEARS IN TERMS OF INFRASTRUCTURE AND MORE IMPORTANTLY BRING IT DOWN TO THE LEVEL OF THE ORDINARY GHANAIAN THROUGH POLICY INSTRUMENTS LIKE FREE SHS, ETC.
What at all is wrong with this bature boy? You knew NDC was going to lose the elections and when they finally lost you are blaming Ghanaians for making a mistake by voting the incompetent party out. Something doesn't match up here.
Please are you a ghanaian.Kindly show us the region you are coming from.Certainly not greater Accra.Is it Northern,Upper west/East. Let us know so we can stop guessing and arguing.
YOU ARE A COMPLETE LIAR. YOU WERE RATHER PROPAGATING THE AKYEM - ASHANTI DIVISIONS IN THE NPP. YOU WANTED TO SEE NPP DISINTERGRATED. ALL THE INSULTS ON NANA ADDO DID NOT WASH, AND THAT LED TO YOUR DEFEAT.
hahahaha, ndc, seat of government nyenaapo? apuu. comeback in 2020, you are finished.
Hahaha,,,hii, I laugh enter Onaapo office,,
this guy is a serious liar, he was on air saying NDC will win massively to retire NAADO,he has now turned around saying what?HHHHMMM they will all be exposed soon. Stomach journalist. Your Mahama spent huge sums of money upgrading Tamale airport to so called international level. Ethiopia used half of that amount to build a new one.
a big ***barred word*** like you telling us we made a mistake rather tell your incompetent ndc made a mistake by underestimating the intelligence of the Ghanaian voter what a humiliating defeat??
WHY ARE THESE NDC PEOPLE SO MYOPIC.SO THEY WILL NEVER AGREE THAT MAHAMA HANDLING OF THE ECONOMY WAS A DISASTER.THERE WAS SERIOUS HARDSHIP GHANAIANS WERE GOING THROUGH AND THEY REFUSED TO ACCEPT THE FACT.ANYWAY LET THEM CONTINUE TO DECEIVE THEMSELVES AND ANOTHER HUMILIATION AWAITS THEM IN 2020
