Martin Amidu Endorses Mahama for President

The former Special Prosecutor, Martin Amidu, has endorsed former President and Flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Mahama, as the most reliable and best choice for Ghanaians. According to him, while John Mahama is not a saint, he possesses the best experience as a former president. Amidu added that, if voted into power, Mahama would be the ideal candidate to audit the “mess” created by the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) government, led by Nana Akufo-Addo and Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.

Amidu acknowledged that he had previously had issues with Mahama, but emphasized that Ghana now demands pragmatism to ensure probity and accountability following the NPP’s eight-year tenure.

He further stated that Ghana needs a new leader who can command a parliament with a majority of MPs from his political party to effectively audit all potential corrupt actions taken under the NPP administration over the past eight years. “We need a candidate who can command a sizeable parliamentary representation to actualize an audit of the previous government,” he asserted.

According to Amidu, Nana Akufo-Addo is afraid of Mahama’s potential audit of his eight-year administration, and a vote for Mahama is essential to uphold the integrity of the 1992 Constitution.

“John Dramani Mahama, whose audit Nana Akufo-Addo fears, ought to be the best bet for the integrity of the 1992 Constitution under our present circumstances,” he stated in a post sighted by GhanaEducation.Org.

Amidu accused the Akufo-Addo/Bawumia government of perpetuating cronyism and promoting a dynasty-like system. He called on the electorate to vote for change by electing the NDC on December 7, 2024, to protect the 1992 Constitution.

“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!” he concluded.

Martin Amidu writes!

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

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.
