Mahama’s second coming is advantageous to Ghana – Teye Nyaunu
Former Member of Parliament for Lower Manya Krobo, Michael Teye Nyaunu, has expressed confidence in John Dramani Mahama, flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), stating that Mahama’s political maturity will be advantageous for Ghana if he returns as President.
In an interview with Starr News in Koforidua, Teye Nyaunu stated, “He [Mahama] has learned a lot. The way he was just delivering extempo like that you can see that he is a man whose hand is on the steer and could know where the breaks and accelerators and all those things are. Now he is mature. Mahama is really mature now, and if we have him as President I have no doubt and qualms about that I believe the second coming of Mahama will be quite advantageous to the nation.”
Nyaunu, who served in Parliament for 16 years after first being elected in 1996, is known for his critical stance towards members of his own party, including its leadership.
He was suspended by the NDC in the Lower Manya Krobo constituency for misconduct along with three other party members. He also ran as an independent parliamentary candidate in the 2012 elections but later returned to the NDC.
Despite his past criticisms of Mahama, Nyaunu now praises the former President’s growth and experience in politics.
He described the Mahama-Prof. Jane Naana Opoku Agyemang’s ticket is superior and more trustworthy than the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) candidates, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia and Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh.
“The combination is super Nana Agyemang has also proved beyond doubt that she is a mother and you could see the way she is delivering. She knows how and he touched every part of it. Actually, the combination with the NDC is more effective than that of the NPP”
Nyaunu further criticized the current government led by President Akufo-Addo, accusing it of poor governance, and called for the NPP to be removed from power.
