PRESS RELEASE
07/12/2018
I wish to announce that after much soul searching, prayer and consultations with well-meaning Ghanaians, loved ones and family I have decided to abate my push for the presidency come 2020 and throw my weight behind His Excellency John D. Mahama.
I know this is very much unexpected. However, there is much wisdom in taking this decision. It is also in line with the majority of the views in our great party that he is the best person to lead us into battle come 2020.
Beyond that, our own future vision and ambitions must be anchored on a broad-based support that will make it easy to unite the party when it is time for us to lead.
In the circumstances, I will not be picking up nomination forms by the deadline set by the National Executive Committee. I encourage my campaign team and all supporters to submit to the vision of the GO4JM Campaign for total and a resounding victory of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in 2020.
I will like to thank God for His direction at every step of the way and express my profound gratitude to the National Council of Elders, the National Executive Committee, Friends ( far and near) #FriendsofEli2020 and my entire family for the various roles played in this short but momentous campaign to lead the youth of GHANA into a prosperous future. The future is bright and we will lead at God’s appointed time.

Who is this? A lawyer? From where? Togo,Benin or Ghana? What is he saying? Had withdrawn from the race. I mean how? Who told him in the first place that he is a presidential material? Look, the NPP is prepared to loan that Statesman OKUDJATO and Hons Amewu or Dr Letsha to stand as presidential candidate for Ndc in 2020,24 or 28 the outcome will be the same as 2016. Apologize to yourself and family for conceiving that ambition.
pls who is that man. is he a Ghanaian? I never head of him before.
u lie u no get 320k
NDC. Concert man.
Publicity stunt orchestrated all along to prop up and make JDM appear a stronger candidate. Atubiga will soon follow suit, watch this space. Let the NDC kid themselves with their continuous bias for one candidate and the repercursions will come back to haunt them. bl000dy Elipkli, who had even heard of this clown?
Concert Party like NDC. Shambolic group. We know all the PROPAGANDA taking place in this primaries. Who said people are just queuing to donate what? thy say time are hard. If so how can some of them travel long with transport fares to donate GHc1? Shame John 'Ford"Mahama.
When i fist saw your post on face book i told myself that there is nothing different about you and lo and behold you have proved that.The real NDC race will be after 2020 election when Mahamah loses again.
This is no surprise . We expect more of such.
That’s concert party for your viewing.enough said about this the better.Fontbwaste our ears
