The Greater Accra Regional Chairman of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Joseph Ade Coker says the former Boss of the Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly (KMA), Kojo Bonsu does not befit a Presidential candidate.
According to him Kojo Bonsu is a very good friend, but he will advise him against his swift decision of wanting to join the forthcoming NDC flagbearership race.
Speaking on Citi TV’s breakfast show, Ade Coker advised his friend not to joke with people’s feelings as Ghanaians are more serious than his declaration.
“Let me advise Kojo Bonsu who is my very good friend from football circles that this country is a serious country and must be taken as such; just that sometimes it is being belittled based on the manner in which we do things,” he said.
Ade Coker cautioned that the experienced football Administrator does not meet the credentials of ruling a State just because he has been a mayor.
To him, Kojo Bonsu should bear in mind that the precepts of ruling as a mayor are totally different from a presidential mandate.
“The fact that you have been a Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly [KMA] mayor before does not qualify you to say you want to be President of Ghana, Jesus Christ lets cry aloud and be serious for the world is watching us,” he added.
To him, Kojo Bonsu has no strong ribs to stand a presidential position.
“I will advise him [Kojo Bonsu] to go and sleep somewhere for we can’t sit here and watch every tom, dick and harry get up and want to be President . . . if your ribs are not strong you don’t go taking punches,” he advised.
BACKGROUND

HEY NIGERIA MAN, I DO NOT BLAME YOU ONLY IN GHANA.
For me Kojo Bonsu is fine Presidential Material than Mahama. Who is this 1diot Ade Cocain man to rubbish his fellow party member like that. Time will tell.
As usual, they are attacking each other like they do to all others who disagree with them. Mahama has become a god in the NDC who should not be contested. Thus, 1diots like Ade can say such terrible things about his own party man. THEY'VE NOT LEARNT ANY LESSONS YET.
Are Coker, it means even you can carry yourself too through the NDC to contest for their presidential slot! Cry your own cry, if you won't grow, others shall grow. Dude Bonsu is using funds from your "enterprise" during 2006 World Cup in Germany to finance his quest. How have you used yours.
I CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHY PEOPLE SHOULD PREVENT OR DISCOURAGE OTHERS FROM CONTESTING IN ANY ELECTION. THE NDC PARTY NEEDS MONEY TO ORGANISE ITSELF FOR 2020 GENERAL ELECTIONS. THE MORE CONTESTANTS THERE ARE THE MORE MONEY TO BE PAID AS FILING FEES.I BELIEVE THE FILING FEES SHOULD BE RAISED TO GHS800,000.00 (EIGHT HUNDRED THOUSAND GHANA CEDIS. EVERYONE IS EAGER, SO LET THEM PAY FOR IT. THERE IS NO NEED TO DISCOURAGE ANYONE MY LORD, MY CASE IS DONE. NO MATTER THE CROWD AT ANY GATHERING OF A DANCE THE MAIN DRUMMER WILL STILL NOT MISS HIS PLACE WITHIN THE CROWD, SO SAYS AN IDIOMATIC EXPRESSION IN THE VAGLA LANGUAGE.
Kojo Bonsu, 2020 is your time to lead ndc. Don't mine the pull him down people. Go Kojo,go high because ndc isn't for northerners and voltarians.I support you 100%. Hahaha, Ghana is sweet.
HAHAHA HE KNOWS NDC IS A WEEK PARTY WITH LOW INTECTUALS.EVEN MAHAMA WAS A PRESIDENT WHY NOT KOJO BONSU.NDC IS A FUNNY PARTY.
Even Mahama became President why not him gerrout
