Dec. 7 polls: ‘Mahama isn’t a saint’ but the only one Akufo-Addo fears will ‘audit his mess’ – Martin Amidu

Martin Amidu has asked the electorate to vote back into power John Dramani Mahama, the flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC).

He said this was the only way President Nana Akufo-Addo’s corruption and mismanagement of the economy could be unearthed, understood and addressed.

The self-identified constitutional activist, and former and inaugural Special Prosecutor strongly cautioned the electorate against giving Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia presidential powers, seeing as, he has successfully undergone “grooming, cloning, and socialising” transforming him into Nana Akufo-Addo’s “poodle”

Martin Amidu said this in an article dated December 3, 2024.

“John Dramani Mahama is not a saint, but he is nobody’s poodle,” Amidu argued.

“He has the experience as a former President to audit the mess the Nana Akufo-Addo/Bawumia government will leave behind. I have had problems with John Dramani Mahama in the past which are documented on my website.

“The constitutional situation on our hands, however, demands pragmatism to ensure probity and accountability after an eight-year tenure of government. We need a candidate who can command a sizeable parliamentary representation to actualize an audit of the previous government.”

Martin Amidu advocated: “John Dramani Mahama whose audit Nana Akufo-Addo fears ought to be the best bet for the integrity of the 1992 Constitution in our present circumstances. The 1992 Constitution does not enshrine dynasty or inheritance by cronyism, that is why the electorate should aim for a change in government on 7 December 2024 to defend and preserve the Constitution of our Fourth Republic. Ghana must always come first!”




“The choice that faces the electorate on 7 December 2024 is, therefore, to vote Mahamudu Bawumia as Nana Akufo-Addo’s anointed successor and continue suffering under the create loot and share principle they both hold in common or vote for change to enable probity and accountability as demanded by the Constitution to prevail,” the lawyer and former Attorney General and Minister for Justice emphasised.
