Hundreds of fisher folks and sympathizers of the National Democratic Congress(NDC) in Kpone, in the Greater Accra Region, have given former President John Mahama an emotional welcome and wished for his return as President.
They presented him with stones, a gesture in most Ghanaian cultures meaning, "You were telling the truth but we ignored you."
The former President had visited the Kpone landing beach as part of his tour of the area.
Speaking on behalf of the fisher folks and the traditional authorities, Nii Ofosu Oblie V, Mankralo of Kpone Traditional Area, stated that, residents of Kpone had been very loyal to the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in all general elections yet there was nothing to show for it.
Nii Oblie further lamented that, Kpone had a large concentration of thriving industries and companies yet the residents wallowed in abject poverty as successive governments did not pay attention to their predicament.
The Mankralo also appealed to the former President to intervene in the implementation of the fishing close season as that would only worsen the plight of the fisher folks.
Addressing the people, former president John Mahama expressed worry about the pace at which the landing beaches were been destroyed.
He promised that all landing beaches would be revived if he was elected as President in the 2020 elections.
Mr Mahama added that, the ruling New Patriotic Party(NPP) rode on the shoulders of dangerous deceit to assume power and were now faced with the reality.
He added that, the next NDC government would consider the interest of the fisher folks and equip them with the needed resources to enhance business.

You people should bear in mind that Flag bearer John Mahama time has past. His regime is over. So you will wait in vain. He cant come to power again.
Wished for his return indeed may be give him the seat if your Kpone chief but not Ghana ,what is your percentage in Ghana's voting that can make him a president for you f000**00ls over there? I hope your kids are not enjoying the Free SHS and I hope your wives are not buying food from the bumper harvest through the planting for food and jobs such people never prosper because of their skewed minds. When did somebody from Bole Bamboi become a fisherman to answer to your st*upid problems and was this man not a president before what we're your lives was it better and were you living in mansions and riding in jaguars and V8 and this government has taking them away from you? st*pid a$$es will always be that so far as ndc is alive! Kpone fishermen your woes are not going today or tomorrow because majority of Ghanaians don't like your man and he will never ever be president again I hope you get it. See you in 2020 still in your canoes and paddles when civilized people are using fishing boats ! Unfortunately you can't decide for Ghana, Ghana will decide for herself and that will definitely not be your incompetent one ! Paddle your own canoe and leave Ghana alone!
I beg people , I just want ask one question, wasn’t this man president three days ago? And he says what? Ghana is indeed funny as they say, and he couldn’t see all these problems when he was the president three days ago
