Chief of Staff Julius Debrah has charged electorates in the northern part of Ghana to vote massively for “brother” John Dramani Mahama, who happens to be the only northerner to become president after Dr. Hilla Liman’s short reign 35 years ago.
The Chief of Staff made the comment in Wa in the Upper West Region, where he is currently campaigning to sustain and whip up party enthusiasm among the rank and file of the National Democratic Congress (NDC). Mr. Debrah is in Wa in the absence of President John Dramani Mahama – who is in Paris, France to address the UNESCO International Day for Universal Access to Information – to engage with the Chiefs and people of the Upper West Region and drum home the need to retain President Mahama in the December elections.
He said, “Truth be cited the first republican constitutional era for 1992, the first President we got was President JJ Rawlings and the very Ghana agreed that we should give him eight years and we agreed. “After him came President JA Kufuor ad the whole Ghana both northern and southern agreed that we should give him eight years and we did. “Now it’s the time of President John Dramani Mahama, who is from the north and we are being told that we should let him stay only four years so we can bring somebody and I don’t think this is fair so I’m using this occasion to urge you all to vote massively for your own brother because the last time we had a President from the northern part of the country was 35years ago.
“If you are not lucky and this opportunity slips by then you may have to wait for another 35 years so I believe that you should consider this and make sure you vote wisely.”

***barred word*** of staff says what...such a childish statement...VOTE MAHAMA OUT,HEZ INCOMPETENET
This is the very reason why NDC SHOULD BE VOTED OUT. We vote for competence and not on tribal basis. This is a chief of staff of NDC government. Wow, Ghanaians should wake up. This man is playing on emotions of poor people to get more time to cause more hardships to the citizens. How can this be? YET WE HAVE PEOPLE FOLLOWING THIS NDC and Rawlings is still alive.We live in strange world.
now listern to this gorilla too...so that you keep becoming the Chief of staff and to keep on enjoying your booty undercover... and if you have these ***barred word*** ***barred word*** around you..how can you be sober...
Na true talk
cheap talk from cheap chief of staff. tribalism is still in ur head so my people from the north pls ask Julius how hila limam was overthrown. You will talk saa by the time u realize u will be teling Ghanaians how u chop our money. Chiefs of the north be vigilant and ask who overthrew Liman cos this man is too wicked and want to keep his position by teling u to vote for JM. Cheap talks think far before u talk mr chief of staff
You see when I tell you people that, NDC do not have the necessary brains to lead this country we all taught it is a JOKE OR A FLUKE. Even those BRAINS they have had been sidelined. You could imagine such a person is the chief of Staff. What type of staff will he entertain in the Presidency. WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME A GA MAN BECAME A PRESIDENT OF THIS COUNTRY. THEN IT MUST BE NOW? Why did he eliminate the almost fours years NDC lead this country under Mills meaning Mills is of no importance to them at all. Mahama at the end of the four years will have lead this country more than fours and enjoyed the position as Vice President of this country. What greediness and ***barred word*** talk is that. Is this an issue that the electorate have to consider before voting? THESE PEOPLE MUST BE VOTED OUT OF THE LEADERSHIP OF THIS COUNTRY. I DO NOT THINK SOME OF THEM BRAINS ARE FUNCTIONING PROPERLY.
