Mahama is king of insults – Akomea
There could not be a greater insult in Ghana’s
political game than a claim by President John
Dramani Mahama that he would not accept criticism
from anyone apart from former Presidents Jerry
John Rawlings and John Agyekum Kufour, Nana
Akomea, Director of Communications of the New
Patriotic Party (NPP), has said.

His comment follows a claim made by Mr Mahama
during the launch of the 2016 campaign of the
National Democratic Congress (NDC) at Cape Coast
on Sunday, 14 August, that were insults an event
at the Olympics, the NPP could be considered as
gold medallists.

Responding to the president in a press release
issued Thursday, 18 August, Mr Akomea said:
“President Mahama at the last NDC congress in
Kumasi, before the Cape Coast congress, diagnosed
the then General Secretary of the Convention
Peoples Party (CPP) Mr lvor Greenstreet as
suffering from ‘incurable myopia’.

“President Mahama has gone on to tell Ghanaians
last year that he would not take criticism from
anyone who has never been president before, and
that the only people he would take criticism from
are former Presidents Rawlings and Kufuor. So the
good people of Ghana who elected President Mahama
cannot be fit to criticise him because they have
never been president before,” he observed.

He added: “There can be no greater insult on
Ghanaians. If anyone was looking for a gold medal
for insults, this is it.”
