A youth group of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), calling itself ‘NDC Diehards’ is mounting pressure on Dr. Ekwow Spio-Garbrah to withdraw a statement he made that the NDC needs a new face other than former President Mahama for the 2020 presidential elections.
The group has also attacked the former Trades and Industry Minister for declaring his intention to contest the NDC 2020 flagbearership.
According to the group, it is too early for ‘ungrateful’ Spio-Garbrah to declare his intentions and to make such pronouncements against the former President.
Dr. Spio-Garbrah, during a meeting with some NDC members at Asawase in the Ashanti Region, stated that the NDC needs a new face for 2020.
He reiterated that the 2020 presidential election would be a tough one; for which reason the NDC needs a more competent and credible leader.
Dr. Spio-Garbrah went on to tip himself as the ideal candidate for the party, thus discrediting former President John Dramani Mahama.
However, the NDC Diehards group disagrees with him, stated a mynews.com report. A spokesperson for the group, Joe Kwei, says John Mahama is still the effective leader the NDC can have for 2020.
He said this in a three-paragraphed statement headlined “NDC and Ghana at large is lamenting for the comeback of JDM in 2020 Not a new a face.”
“I have read a submission made by Dr Ekow Spio-Gabrah that NDC needs a new face for 2020 polls to prove that NDC has the men. …On the contrary, the writings on the walls says the opposite that, John Dramani Mahama must come back,” Joe Kwei rebutted.
According to him, the majority in the NDC and Ghanaians at large are expecting the return of the former President in 2020.
Therefore, Spio-Garbah should withdraw his comments that the NDC needs a new face for the 2020 polls.

I TOLD YOU GHANA DOES NOT NEED THIS SPIO GARBRAH TYPE TO RULE HER...THE GUY IS AND CONTINUE TO BE A RUBBLE ROUSER, A VILIFYING ***barred word***, SEES HIMSELF ELOQUENTLY BETTER THAN ANYBODY ON THIS PART OF EARTH CALLED GHANA. HE DOESN'T EVEN HAVE A CONSTITUENCY YET HAD THE AFFONTERY TO SPEAK MALICIOUSLY AND CONTEMPTEOUSLY AGAINST SEASON POLITICIANS AND ELDERLY STATEMEN OF THIS NATION CALLED GHANA. THIS GUY IS NOT CUT OUT LIKE THE FATHER I KNOW AT KONONGO ODUMASI SECONDARY SCHOOL IN THE LATE SIXTIES.
NDC WILL NEVER STOP AMAZING ME. DURING THE ELECTIONEERING CAMPAIGN, JOHN MAHAMAH REDICULED DR. BAWUMIAH, THEN RUNNING MATE FOR NANA. MAHAMAH TOLD DR. BAWUMIAH THAT THE NPP IS ONLY INTERESTED USING HIM TO GANNER VOTES FROM THE NORTH, AFTER WHICH HE WOULD BE DUMPED, BECAUSE THE NPP IS NOT DEMOCRATIC. TODAY, EVERYONE SEEKING TO CHALLENGE MAHAMAH IS BEING HOUNDED BY THE NDC WILD DOGS AND BABIES WITH WILD OR IS IT WIDE TEETH. ANYWAY, WHO IS BEHIND THESE ATTACKS ON PEOPL SEEKING TO CHALLENGE MAHAMAH. IT IS STILL PROPAGANDA AND BODOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Nana Nana Addo might be short alright, but he is not a th!3f and corrupttt like John Mahama, Ghanaians want someone who will protect the purse , which Nana Addo has so far shown is More capable of doing that, John Mahama was a th!3f even when he was Vice President , remember John Mahama in shoddy d3als like the Procurement of presidential Aircraft and the famous Wayome judgement Deby scandal, all these happened at the blind side of prof Mills, I would prefer a blind man to be my president, than a thi3f like John Mahama
I agree with Dr. Spio-Gabra's assertion that the NDC would need a new face. Any decision by the NDC to feature JDM on 2020 will not be a strategic one. NDC should look beyond the 2020 election and focus more on the 2024 when NPP has been in office for 8yrs and Ghanaian may be considering a change. Spio will be more groomed and appealing for 2024 if he's given the chance for 2020. JDM will perform worse against Nana in 2020 and will has the potential to sink the party deeper. He didn't exhibit extraordinary presidential qualities to be considered again for a comeback. Neutral Opinion!
EVER SINCE JJ, NDC PARTY HAS ALWAYS BECOME A WINNER TAKE ALL. IT IS NOT A PARTY OF CONSENSUS. IT IS A PARTY OF SURVIVAL OF THE FITTERS. THERE IS NO MIDDLE WAY. YOU WIN OR YOU LOSE. THERE IS NO WINNING TOGETHER OR VICTORY FOR ALL.
***barred word***, u dont have any moral rights to stop Hon Spio G from runing. let the delegates deceied.

Rawlings was breathing down the neck of Atta Mills to prosecute these NPP thie ves. Will the same Rawlings please stand up and tell Akufo Addo to prosecute those NPP corrupt officials that Atta Mills refused to prosecute?
mahama is on a mission to destroy the ndc party just as they destroyed his second term bid. he still has d stolen loot at his disposal and is spending it on these jobl3ss young men to continue intimidating others. Is Spio the only one who declared his intention? I am not an ndc member but this is pure n0ns3ns3
Mr.John Mahama must quit politics because the Almight GOD has regeted him.Amen
