Flagbearer of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) John Mahama has publicly expressed his frustration, criticising Ghanaian chiefs, pastors, imams, and traditional leaders and various civil society groups for offering support to the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP).

In a video shared on social media, former President Mahama who was speaking during a campaign tour at Alogblogshie Anglican Church in Accra, said these leaders should have criticised Bawumia for what he claims is poor governance by the NPP, but they rather have been offering him praise.

“Pastors, imams, chiefs, and civil society organizations exist in this nation, and they support the NPP rather than criticizing it. It seems as though we are the evil guys when NDC says something. Instead, they should band together with us to inform the government that it’s time for you to leave because of your immorality toward Ghanaians. However, you’ll see Chiefs praising NPP for their excellent work.

“Pastors are seen praying for Bawumia in the churches, saying things like, ‘We bless you and may God give you victory,’ and ‘the government has done a good job.’ He approaches the traditionalists, and they ask their ancestors to lead him (Bawumia) and pour wine into their shrines,” the former President said.
