There is no gainsaying the fact that former President John Dramani Mahama is desperate for power, but for him to have gathered the rest of the world with the view to showcasing the ills that visited the Ayawaso West Wuogon by-election is something that beats the imagination.
The Former President, on Wednesday, 13th February, 2019, gathered members of the diplomatic community in Ghana and showed them footages of the violence which rocked the by-election in the Ayawaso West Wuogon Constituency.
Mr. Mahama, in the video, painted a hellishly beastly picture of Ghana’s security situation to the enthusiastic gathering.
He pontificated that Ghana under His Excellency President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo is in a deplorable state and that if care is not taken, Ghana’s envious democratic credentials would be eroded as a result of what he described as a state of insecurity in the country.
It would be prudent, at this juncture, not to mince words in condemning the former president for painting such a gloomy scenario of the country in terms of security.
As a former president, one would expect that he would not go to this extreme in his bid to win sympathies for himself as the next elections loom large.
For the eight years of NDC rule, Ghanaians became victims of a systemic course of violence, especially in our by-elections. The Chereponi, Atiwa and Talensi by-elections were classic cases of electoral violence whose magnitudes are yet to be bested in our electoral history.
The former president, if he were honest, would not have picked the skirmishes in the Ayawaso West Wuogon by-election alone but would have added those which occurred during the Chereponi, Atiwa and Talensi by-elections.
His base and unpatriotic motives could well be detected in this well-rehearsed, aggrandized and embellished agenda to sell Ghana to the international community as a failed state.
Many a Ghanaian had hoped that if even he had concerns, he could have assembled some civil society organizations in the country to express his misgivings about what transpired in Ayawaso West Wuogon.
The good people of Ghana must condemn this unstatesmanlike behavior of the former president. It would appear that winning the next elections is far more important to him if it would even send Ghana’s enviable reputation downhill.

Ex- President Mahama wanted to look like he is the good COP and the current president is the bad Cop. But from his own words he said NDC is second to non when it comes to unleashing violence to the citizenry. So whom is he fooling. Ghana is bigger than any other interest. This shows he did not trust the wisdom of former president Kuffour and Jerry John Rawllings who happens to be former presidents.
Look at this goats expecting the Ex and next President tonsing their praises after disgracing Ghana. It is important tonlet the international community know what NPP is planning for 2020 . He isn’t taking no chances at all because we know the evil plans the NPP has. He is willing to match you boot for boot but at least he needed the diplomatic corp to know the evil intentions of NPP
This is the MOST USELE&^SS former President Ghana EVER had. Does he think the diplomatic corps do not know what is going on in Ghana. After staying in Canada for a while, when I wanted to return, they rather told me where and where I shouldn't drink water from and when cholera outbreak is high and where. They know us more that we know ourselves. They see that Mahama is JUST interested in being a President to STEAL!
His excellency the former president is not desperate but he want to protect we the citizens of our dear nation and what he did was right
MAHAMA CAN'T DISGRACE GHANA, HE HAS RATHER DISGRACED HIMSELF, HIS FAMILY AND THE PARTY HE BELONG.
MAHAMA, THE MOST ***barred word*** EX PRESIDENT I HAVE EVER KNOWN.
Maybe he should have shown them your mother frying kelewele in her kitchen. Gimifo.
We should stop reasoning with our political minds. Have we ever seen ex presidents of developed countries showing videos of their security issues to diplomatic corps? If as an ex president you can't help solve over decades bi-elections violence in your country then what will a mere diplomatic corps who are even below your status do? Trying to destroy your own country for political power is unpatriotic and evil.
But the diplomatic community knows the truth and can make their own judgements.They can see through a PROPAGANDA show.
