Flagbearer hopeful of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Stephen Atubiga has described as shameful and condemnable, the endorsement of former president John Dramani Mahama by some 94 Members of Parliament of the party, urging the former president to disassociate and distance himself from the MP’s.
According to him, the MP’s lacked the moral right to carry out such an endorsement since they were partly to blame for the party’s abysmal performance in the 2016 general elections.
“For the 94 MPs who have endorsed John Mahama, I say they have humiliated the man and I would advise him to disassociate himself from them because they contributed to him going into opposition. Some of these MPs were appointees in his government but they sat and looked on as the party slid into opposition. Anyone at all can become President but the person can only succeed if those he has appointed to help him, do their jobs exceedingly well if not, the government fails. If the same people who failed to help you succeed comes back to endorse you, are you telling me you going to accept them and give them positions in your government again to commit the same mistakes. So those MPs who endorsed John Mahama have no moral right to go and incite party foot soldiers to vote for the candidate they want” he opined.
