Mr Wisdom Kukubor, Ketu South branch Executive member of the NDC has stated that it was the fear that former President Mahama might lose out on the NDC Presidential slot that compelled some MPs to come out with an endorsement list.

“From where I sit, the moves to create the false impression that former President Mahama has the support of majority of the party’s rank and file to become Flagbearer again are driven by the fear of Mr Alban Sumana Bagbin, Professor Joshua Alabi and other Prospective candidates.

“We know the former President himself is behind the moves…they are particularly reacting in panic to Bagbin’s recent radio interview. If you ask my honest opinion, Mahama has a phobia about Bagbin,” Mr. Kukubor said.

He pointed out that the supposed list of 94 NDC MPs who had endorsed former President Mahama for the Flagbearership of the party in 2020 was coming just a week after Mr Bagbin, granted audience to the media and gave a sterling performance.

Recently in that interview, a vintage Alban Bagbin had reiterated his stance that the NDC party, over the years, had not been fair to its own members and support base, including pro-NDC media houses most of whom had collapsed.

The neglect of the party’s own by the party, he pointed out, was worst under the leadership of former President Mahama, who had even abandoned the party machinery itself.
The Second Deputy Speaker of Parliament and MP for Nadowli-Kaleo affirmed his intent to let the spoils of power reach the party itself and its members, including delegates if he is made flagbearer and subsequently President.

With a fierce reputation as an incorruptible man, the Nadowli-Kaleo MP pointed out he would do so without cutting corners.
