Ex President John Dramani Mahama has said he’s deeply surprised that Ghanaians have put up with the Akufo-Addo government that has nepotism as its hallmark.
According to him, his administration was unfairly judged when he was accused of nepotism at a time he had only one blood relation serving in his government in the person of Hon. Joyce Mogtari Bawa.
Addressing the members of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) UK branch, former President John Mahama slammed Civil Society Organizations, religious and traditional leaders for keeping mute over happenings in the Akufo-Addo government, and further bemoaned what he described as the hypocrisy in Ghana politics.
“I never ever though that Ghanaians will tolerate the level of nepotism in the government we see today, it’s terrible, I never ever thought. In our case one of our own said I was running a family and friends government and NPP took it up, when I had no blood relation of mine in government except for some lonely deputy minister, Joyce Bawa Mogtari, my aunt’s daughter. She was the only blood relation in my government and yet they said family and friends and when you ask where are they, they say ooo, but your own person said it.
“Now today look at it, that’s the new standard and yet civil society is quiet, religious and traditional leaders are quiet. When NDC comes the next time and Alabi or Bagbin or who is the President and they appoint their relatives into government are they now coming to come out and say it? Must the standards of measuring standards differ because of who is in the presidency? That is the hypocrisy of our politics, that’s the height of hypocrisy we have in Ghana.
“Something is pardonable when one government is in power but when another is in power it’s unpardonable, things that the media would have been so loud about under my administration, it happens everyday and it’s like it’s business as usual. That is the hypocrisy of our civil society and religious and traditional leaders, everybody is quiet, suddenly some say they don’t watch TV anymore and that they watch animals. In our time they were not watching animals, they were watching political discussions. You’re now tired of too much politics…you’ll be tired, because your darling government is super incompetent and so you’re tired of hearing the analysis, that’s the hypocrisy we face in our country. So let us not buy into their propaganda.

It is not wise so John Mahama can not keep quite. The bible is not his manual of life. After all that is going on he thinks he has the gut to talk. He is naked and yet he doesn't see and those around him too cant tell him
why is this )tani kr)mfo) still talking? after stealing all these money and making your brother rich, you have no shame but to talk ***barred word***! very soon, you will be going to Nsawam..you and your fat kr)mfo) wife
This bribe-taking president still has the guts to talk? Keeping quiet serves John Mahama better. If there are any WISE advisors around Mahama, they would prevail on him to stay clear of such comments. His administration was so terrible that he had only one term in office. Can't he still appreciate that, and thus retire quietly? This man is clearly not sensible enough to have been a president. In fact, Solomon Nkansah or Otokunor would have made a better president than Mahama.BLIMEY!
@goodman* Mahammah said he was a president, not knowing he was a mafia, during the day its all about stealing and corruption and at night bottles and Tonga oh mother ghana see
You fit into eBONYs iconic gangster can you justice keep quite
That is the hypocrisy but do not worry, I also do not watch his preaching anymore though I am a christian. I prefer to watch ebony. The accused you of bringing Gitmo 2, they are bringing the US military base, and I wonder whether they are using their heads or hearts; thy accused you of borrowing too much, they collateralize even the resources underground yet to be mined for loans today; they accused you of corruption without evidence, when accused of corruption they get angry; they said corruption perception was high under your reign, they now want to redefine corruption perception. Truth be told, they are yet to show if they are different.
This one time President who lost massively because of the unprecedented corruption and in-competence ever witnessed in Ghana is still ranting. This disgrace of a President should continue ranting. He will never come back to power even if Nana completes his term and decides not to contest the Presidency again. He had the opportunity to rule the country and he plunged us into doomsor for most of his tenure. Many businesses closed and many citizens lost their jobs. All he could tell us as that he was working on infrastructure. At the end of the day, that is the easiest means to steal and share our money. Your time is passed. If I were you I will stay in my one corner and enjoy my loot
KAT or whatever u call itself learn to respect elders no matter what.Shame
Mr. Ex President. Behave ooo behave.
You’re now tired of too much politics…you’ll be tired, because your darling government is super incompetent and so you’re tired of hearing the analysis, that’s the hypocrisy we face in our country. So let us not buy into their propaganda. AWWW JDM, wasn't it true that you were running this country with your boot-licking friends, your wife and brothers. Of your so-called family and friends people in the present govt whom can you tag as a boot-licker? You surrounded yourself with minnows so you could be seen as a genius and that was your downfall. ka wo ano pam do wo hom.
