Former President John Dramani Mahama has descended heavily on the Nana Akufo-Addo administration for the recent acts of "thuggery" the current administration unleashed on members of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) in their bid to "retrieve" government property.
He prefers the Akufo-Addo administration, finds a more "civilised" way of retrieving state assets, especially vehicles from former government officials; if indeed there are any such vehicles in their possession.
Meeting with former Ministers and Deputy Ministers of State, former appointees and Presidential staffers on Tuesday, March 28, 2017 in Accra, Mr Mahama stressed that he would "speak his mind" to President Akufo-Addo when he gets the opportunity to meet him sometime this month.
According to him, the thuggery and raiding of people's residences should not be encouraged because it leaves a sour taste in the mouth of well-meaning Ghanaians, aside setting a bad precedent for the country.
He believed should this trend continue, successive governments would find it difficult to restrain their party supporters.
"So, the government is telling me they can't find a more efficient manner of looking for vehicles than forming storm troops to raid people's houses. And I think that it's wrong. I'm going to have the opportunity to tell Nana Addo that I mean he should stop this," he said.
He revealed that the President has invited him and former Presidents John Agyekum Kufour and Jerry John Rawlings to a private meeting.
He promised to utilize the opportunity to table his concerns before the President.
"If I go to that meeting, I'm going to tell him that this cannot continue. This thuggery is not good for our country. And the point is we thought we had had a good transition but it sets examples that make it difficult in future when there's another transition for another government to be able to restrain party supporters. Because all this thuggery, removing people from offices, beating them and things is unfortunate and so we must say it in the strongest terms", he stressed.

have forgotten the MONTIE 3 the AZORKA boys? Who created them?
Ah ah ah anokwwa! See who's talking. You are simply ***barred word***
Says the massively whipped presidential candidate who on a campaign tour to the Ashanti region sent his goons who rather interestingly were his national security after a 60 year old man, standing by the side of the road and had the "misfortune" of making the change sign-y3r3s3 sa mu sign and pummeled him mercilessly. Thuggery by NPP? Is this thuggery? If NPP was to unleash thuggery on the NDC in this country, all the NDC members will run away from Ghana, believe me. Look, the NDC has one campaign message and one only. And it is "we are thievvvvvveeeesssss and incompetentttttttttttt, forgive us for the stealing and the lack of any intelligence to lead Ghana. Next time if you give us the chance, we won't do that again". This should be the NDC message forever till Ghanaians decide to give them the mandate again in this country. This jokers kind of talk, given what NDC thugs, miscreants and hoodlums have unleashed on Ghanaians since time immemorial, is just jokes, pure straight concert.
THIS SADISTIC KING OF THE ***barred word*** GANG DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO ZIP IT. DO YOU TRULY UNDERSTAND THE WORD THUGGERY? A COMMONER EXPRESSING HIS DISGUST AND DISLIKE FOR YOUR NON-PERFORMANCE WAS ARRESTED AND SUBJECTED TO HEAVY BEATING BY YOUR NDC SECRET GANG/SECURITY APPARATUS AT EJISU. YOUR OWN ***barred word*** ANITA DESOSO DROVE HER CAR OVER NPP SUPPORTERS DURING A BYE-ELECTION AT ATIWA INJURING AND INFLICTING LIFE-TIME INJURIES ON SEVERAL PEOPLE AND DIDN'T RENDER SIMPLE APOLOGY TO THE VICTIMS FAMILIES. WHERE WERE YOU AND YOUR NEWLY-DISCOVERED CONSCIENCE? I'M SORRY YOU'RE NOT WORTH THE ATTENTION YOU'RE GETTING NOW SO I REST MY CASE!!!!!
Yes, those who are talking about a legacy of corruptions,...good. Nana's government has only been three months and we are seeing a very good legacy of thuggery, overloaded government size (110 ministers), AMERI sponsored trip to investigate them (give it another name if that is not corruption), plagiarism at the highest peak that a party that so prides itself with "we have the men; we have the brains," and so on and so forth. Only heaven knows the legacy they will leave after four years. Talk, they say, is cheap; mouth mouth is, indeed, cheap. A legacy of Delta ***barred word***, invisible 1nsanity, Rambo prim1tivity, 1mmaturity at unprecedented heights and you think you have the moral right to point fingers. Trailblazers of corruptions, think of the JAK HOTEL, Eric A moateng and the cocaine saga, think of chasing a loan to a hair salon and you think you are so immaculate to accuse someone of corruption. SMH!!!
Mr. Mahama, please be aware that it is our president that you are rudely referring to him with no title. This is disrespectful. Please refer to him as President Akufo Addo;not the rude 'Akufo Addo.
The ostrich suddenly pulling his head out of the hole!
Shameful ex president Mahama!Koku anyidohu says he hates you! Go and solve that first and tell akua donkor and John domelo to return the state properties you and your wife gave them
interesting, if you had correctly handed all cars with documents to the administrative general, Nana won;t be chasing after stolen cars, If you are dead, please stay quietly in your grave, don't do any mess to your already disappointing corrupt image.
Tweeeaaa Mahama say what? Mahama montie 3
