Leaders are measured not by the pizzazz of their garrulousness but the capacity of them to put themselves into the bracket of diplomacy, nous and acuteness duly. As old as one may be, it is judicious always not to be lordly anecdotage. King Solomon became a gripping leader, because of his monstrous intelligence in addition with his methodical and stem – winding deliveries. This trend was established by him as the litmus test of overall senectitude. One cannot be fathomed as a leader, when he/she has a slipshod foundational bearing. John Mahama has branded his noisome personality to be feted by the populace through the act of offhandedly hubris and hauteur.
Sometimes, I wake up from my bed sobbing and brooding over the fact as to why John Mahama became a president of Ghana upon his curtness and gruffness. He is someone who is decayed in character and tatterdemalion in manners _ his periphrastic fractious statement against Nana Akufo Addo that, he is ” nincompoop ” points to the fact that, John Mahama wisdom has been equilibrated after that particular dictum. If John Mahama isn’t obtuse and dim, then he has a lumpish comprehension. It can be reminisced, Nana Akufo Addo manifested in April, 2024 during his visit to the Chiefs and people of Wa that, ‘ the person he licked and worsted twice cannot be his inheritor ‘
This badinage and bon mot got John Mahama in a huff and made him exposed his babyishness by casting vendetta against someone who isn’t a boozer and has performed his constitutional duties as the president without a particle of sleaze. If John Mahama thinks, he is a shrewd man still ( not true albeit ), he should have weighed in what Nana Akufo Addo opined if it wasn’t the ‘ dinkum oil ‘ – isn’t it the veracity that, he leathered you (i.e John Mahama) in the 2016 election preponderantly and subsequently tanned you in the 2020 election ?
However, using these scenarios as a weighing scale, one could say John Mahama doesn’t have endorsement from the electorates after he plunged us into slashing buffeting under his presidential regime and was also ostracized by the electorates overly in the previous elections – this is what Nana Akufo Addo meant, but since it was delphic statement and John Mahama lacks perspicacity, hence regurgitated Nana Akufo Addo. John Mahama is believed to be suffering from cathexis and that has given the cut and thrust of this current NPP government for inaugurating world – shaking projects.
Nana Akufo Addo adheres to the democratic custom and as such, he won’t act tyrannic in the capitulation of the presidential accolade to whoever wins. More importantly, John Mahama who has been racketing, croaking and rasping virtually everyday has the slimmest chance of becoming the next president, even if divine serendipity is significantly accounted. Ghanaians need a person with innovative drives, esteems the citizenry, has got the cogitative prowess and a nephalist – glumly, John Mahama is antithetical to these underlined grades.
Ghanaians won’t vote for someone, who has the forte to slight and slag off those, who bestowed on him with the presidential mandate _ John Mahama once upon a time, disparaged Ghanaians by tagging himself as ‘ goat carcass ‘ at a point where Ghanaians were in a fetter of imbroglios and privations – therefore, he is known to be a presumptuous man : it can be seen in his ongoing superfluous campaign engagements ; undermining our Kings and Chiefs etc. Insults and insinuations don’t win elections but it depict that, one is lethargic in reasoning – nevertheless, it is apt for John Mahama to put kibosh on his kiddish displays and elaborate a valid campaign messages and tenable policy for the citizenry.
