A founding member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) George Ayisi Boateng still maintain that President John Dramani Mahama is “incompetent” – despite the president’s claims that the NPP is not fit to judge him.

The president told his detractors in the ‘Elephant’ fraternity that it is Ghanaians who can judge him on his competence but not them.

“I took over from where president Mills left off. And I served for the rest of his term for five months and I went to the Ghanaian people and I said; here I am, do I deserve to be your president; and they said yes, and they gave me four years.

“So I have served my first term and its only logical that Ghanaians will add the second term so we can continue the agenda of transformation,” President Mahama said.

Addressing his party supporters as part of his #changinglives tour - President John Mahama says he’ll not have running mate of the opposition party Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia describe his government as incompetent, saying he is politically immature to criticize him.

“Did you hear Bawumia say incompetent Mahama? You’ve never held any responsibility anywhere near the presidency before; you don’t know what it is like to be President. I will take that word from Kufuor or from Rawlings because they’ve been there before. All of you guys [NPP critics] have never ever come near the presidency. [Do] you know what it takes to be a President? And you stand and say incompetent Mahama administration,” he said. 

But speaking on NEAT FM’s morning show Ghana Montie, Mr. Ayisi Boateng rubbished Mahama’s assertions and labeled him as “Ghana’s most corrupt president” – adding that “he is incompetent. 2016 will be like a movie to Mahama [President]”

He however urged the NPP to put aside their differences and form a united front to win election 2016 – “We must unite in the NPP to save Ghanaians from this corrupt president and his appointees.”
