The Chairman of the NDC, Asiedu Nketia, also known as General Mosquito, has refuted claims that plans are far advanced for President Mahama to seek a third term.
Speaking in an exclusive interview with Ambassador TV, the Chairman of the NDC party took the time to clear up doubts, stating that reports about the First Gentleman seeking a third term are untrue.
According to Chairman Wontumi, the President has made it clear to all and sundry that he isn’t interested in any third term, however, the NPP is trying to use that as a campaign message.
What surprises the Chairman is the fact that the NPP trumpets that President Mahama is managing the economy so well because he has plans of going for a third term.
“Now, when you speak for the third term bid, you are someone who loves Mahama, but when you speak against the third term bid, you dislike Mahama. What they are doing is very dangerous. The NPP is also trying so hard to make it a campaign message. President Mahama himself has said he is not interested, but someone has also taken the issue to court to force him to contest for a third term”, he said.
He added “Even pastors are also involved in these calls for a third term. Some even say that if I contest, I will win, but what worries me is that I should not condemn Mahama’s third term, because if I do, he will be forced to support one candidate against me. Such things must not be encouraged”.
