The flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Mahama says President Akufo-Addo cannot determine who becomes his successor in the 2024 election.
This follows President Akufo-Addo’s statement that former President John Mahama cannot be his successor.
“Before the election is held, I am going to come here and pay my proper goodbye to you and thank you for the cooperation that I received from you when I was president. God willing, when I come, I will come with the man who is going to be my successor. Wa Naa, you know that the man I removed from the seat, I cannot have him as my successor and as a traditional ruler, you understand what I am saying,“ President Akufo-Addo indicated.
In a sharp response, while addressing a gathering at Damongo in the Savannah Region, the NDC flag bearer stated that the President cannot determine who succeeds him in a democratic country.
“I wish to urge our President; this was my message to Nana Akufo-Addo, unfortunately, he has left, and he has left only our member of the council of state on the high table.
“I wish to urge our President that the best legacy he can leave this country, is to superintend over a peaceful, transparent, and credible election,” the former President stated.
He continued “I wish to remind him, that it is God who makes rulers and he can never ever be the one to choose his successor. It is God who will choose his successor.”
