Former Special Prosecutor Martin Amidu has endorsed John Dramani Mahama, the presidential candidate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), as the ideal candidate to lead the country as its next president.
He acknowledged that while Mahama is not without flaws, his extensive experience positions him to address the challenges and systemic issues left by the Akufo-Addo administration.
In a statement he said, “John Dramani Mahama is not a saint, but he is nobody’s poodle. He has the experience, as a former president, to audit the mess that the Nana Akufo-Addo/Bawumia government will leave behind,” he said.
He noted that, despite their past disagreements, John Mahama has the necessary experience to promote probity and accountability, addressing the gaps left by President Akufo-Addo’s administration.
“I have had problems with John Dramani Mahama in the past, which are documented on my website. The constitutional situation on our hands, however, demands pragmatism to ensure probity and accountability after an eight-year tenure of government. We need a candidate who can command a sizeable parliamentary representation to actualize an audit of the previous government,” he added.
