Former President John Dramani Mahama, in an attempt to make himself appear relevant and stay on the political scene, has for the second time in a row demonstrated his lack of grasp of economics.
Daily Statesman monitoring of Metro Mass Transit (MMT) following the interdiction of the company’s immediate past managing director, Bennet Aboagye, has revealed that while the government and the Public Services Commission were searching for ways to rescue the distressed state enterprise, the long fingers of the National Democratic Congress were at work, still poking into every state pie and encouraging divide-and-rule.
An NDC flagbearer hopeful, Alban Kingsford Sumana Bagbin, has accused John Dramani Mahama of running an “Animal Farm” government, in which “monkeys were working while baboons chopped”, while Mahama was President.

Jerry John Rawlings is not only keen on seeing the back of John Mahama and the end of his hopes to run again as flagbearer for the National Democratic Congress in the 2020 presidential elections.
