The flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress, John Dramani Mahama has said that Ghana must take a lesson from what happened in the United States of America.
Joe Biden has been declared as the President-elect of the US after beaten President Donald Trump in a fiercely contested elections and this Mr. Mahama said Ghanaian must learn from the defeat of Trump and not abuse the power given too them by the people.
In an interview on TV3 yesterday, the former President said “I don’t want to ascribe anything to it but it looks like anytime power has shifted in the US it has shifted also in Ghana. There is a certain certainty in this world that every four years there is a US election in November and ours in December. I don’t want to speculate but the significance of the choice of a woman as the Vice president, Americans are going to have the first female vice president. We are hoping for the same in Ghana, we have a very capable woman as my running mate.”
He also said “We should take a lesson from what has happened in the US. When you have a leader who becomes divisive, there are a lot of doubts about his personal interest and family interest, he abandons his allies and just pursue a unilateral policy, a time will come when the people will get fed-up and will rise against you. So I guess that Trump’s one term in office has many lessons for us here in Ghana too.”
