Flagbearer of the main opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) John Dramani Mahama has reiterated his believe that it was a good thing for the NDC to have been voted out of power in 2016 in order for Ghanaians to appreciate the good work they did.
According to Mr Mahama, there is extreme hardship under the current Akufo-Addo-led administration and Ghanaians would not have known the difference between the NDC and NPP if the NDC had not lost power.
Speaking at the 100-year anniversary of the E.P Church at Dabala in the Volta Region on Sunday, 3 November 2019, Mr Mahama said: “Sometimes when God makes us go through hardship he has a purpose for it…I said it was good and it was God’s will that we lost the election in 2016.
“We lost in order that we will continue to have a peaceful country and then secondly, because God wanted us to appreciate what NDC was doing. If NDC had not lost, it will be what we call ‘tragedy of the unlived experience’.
“If you don’t live through an experience, you’ll always say to yourself that ‘if I had done this, this would have happened’ but you don’t know what would have happened if you had done that and probably God saved you from something by letting you take the course you did instead of the other course. And so, if the NDC had not lost and Nana Akufo-Addo and NPP taken over, we would never have appreciated what NDC was doing for us. And so, God said ‘let me let you experience this one too so that you have a basis for comparing the two.’
“As for the hardship you are going through today, I’m not the one to tell you, all of us are suffering our own hardships…and we are preparing our thumbs for 2020 so that we can change the change”.
Mr Mahama together with some NDC bigwigs including the MP for Central Tongu, Komla Woyome and Executives of Volta Regional branch of the party also donated an undisclosed amount of cash and bags of cements towards the construction of the church's cathedral.

Wooooooooo pana!!!!!! Charlie this 2016 election loss go your inside proper, proper. ego be wai ana we still go go for edey be keeeeeeke!!! Like you were teaching us to say it: This is how you taught us on the campaign platforms: "Then you turn your mouth like this and say edey be keeeeeeeeeeke". Eh wopana you come do some oooo
God kicked you out so that you and your brother will stop milking the economy ie. bauxite concession et al.
Oh oh oh!! JOhn Mahama, so you were not robbed of victory in the last elections after all, so now you know God gave victory to NPP. hmmmmmm.
Ohi3 f33fl3 onu. Mahama paaaa....SO God was the one who caused them to lie because according youm they lied their way into power. Truth is both parties are the same, nothing useful to offer Ghana, they are all clueless about development.
In one breath Mahama says he was lost because he was "riding a lame horse". In another, he said he made "mistakes" which he wants to come and correct. Now it is God who brought NPP? This incompetent one is simply confused.
JOHN DON'T MIND THEM. THEY ARE STILL WALLOWING IN THEIR IG-NOR-ANCE THINKING THEY ARE ONTOP OF ISSUES. "LIKE CHINUA ACHEBE SAID 'BECAUSE THE FLY HAS NO ONE TO ADVISE IT, IT FOLLOWS THE CORPSE INTO THE GRAVE." THEY (NPP) THINK 2020 IS GOING TO BE LIKE 2016. YOOOOOO!
Mr Mahama , the more talk , the more you lose votes. Ghanaian's are not ***barred word*** as thought in your mind previously. Your constant talkative is making you unpopular and will definitely will affect your 2020 election fortune.
he has no idea as to how to manage the country, deceptive tongue of john mahama ghanaians beware of this con man
After saying NPP lied their way to power, you are now bringing God into your mess. Did you think of God when you amassed wealth together with your brother, who was not even paying taxes and his workers' SSNIT contributions? So if you are President, you and your brother can amass wealth and refuse to pay taxes? Those are the things that helped remove you from power, not God.
Ah! Opana paaa, why dont u keep quiet. We know better what is happening. And we will decide in 2020.
