Aggrieved NDC MP for Yunyoo, Bipoba Naabu says former President Mahama is not the only ‘Presidential material’ who can snatch power from the governing New Patriotic Party in the 2020 elections.
He said the ‘come back agenda’ by his party to field Mahama in 2020 again as the party’s Flagbearer after sending NDC into opposition, is unnecessary, in view of the fact that there are host of other equally marketable persons who can win power for NDC.
Speaking on Anopa Kasapa on Kasapa 102.5 FM Naabu said: “He could be the best material but is he the only person in NDC who could be the best material?
When he was asked by host Fiifi Banson whether he’d information of those who are likely to pop up to contest the former President, the Yunyoo legislator said “Yes of course! haven’t you seen Spio Garbrah is going round? didn’t you hear that Namaole claims that he’s also contesting? so there are people coming seriously.”
He added: “I don’t know whether he may come back or not. He hasn’t told me and I’ve not discussed that with him. But I’m only saying that for now he should hold on.”
Some kingpins and supporters of the NDC have been calling on the former leader, John Dramani Mahama to consider running for the 2020 elections.
The National Organizer of the opposition National Democratic Congress(NDC), Kofi Adams has said the NDC can rise to power again if former President Mahama accepts the calls to lead the party in 2020.
According to him, the party’s chances to return to power is heavily dependent on Mahama, who by all standards remains the best bet for the largest opposition NDC.
“All those who mean well for the party and wants NDC to come back to power should pray that former President Mahama will accept the calls to lead us in 2020.
“Mahama is one of the greatest things that have happened to this party. If you look at his contributions, his additions in 2008, his candidature in 2012- what he did, and his international stature that yielded much results for this country, I think he’s been a blessing for this country. And I believe that his work is not complete,” Adams said in in an interview on Anopa Kasapa on Kasapa 102.5 FM Monday.
