President and Founder of Concerned Voters Movement (CVM) Mr Razak Kojo Opoku has observed that Trump’s one-term presidency has many useful lessons for former President John Mahama
According to John Mahama, he is hoping that the victory of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris would be replicated in Ghana simply because he chose a woman as a running mate like Joe Biden.
The National Democratic Congress (NDC) 2020 presidential candidate also indicated that any anytime power has shifted in the US, it has shifted also in Ghana.
However, the CVM Founder and President in a statement said Mr John Mahama should be advised that elections and democracy in the US never started in 1992 and so there is no way Ghana can share a simultaneous destiny with the USA.
“Mahama should rather focus on selling his track record as well as his new Okada and mortuary policies to the Ghanaian electorates and stop the baseless reliance on useless superstitious beliefs that the victory of Biden is an automatic victory for him.
“For the avoidance of doubt there are big differences between the Incompetent John Mahama and Joe Biden likewise their respective female running mates:
1. Biden is not practicing the culture of community husband and ‘Papano’ Slay Queens Charity Programme unlike his counterpart democrat in Ghana.
2. Biden is a faithful husband to Mrs. Jill Biden unlike John Mahama.
3. Biden had his successful 8 years as Vice President, stepped back for Hillary Clinton in 2016 and he returned back in 2020 as the now President-elect unlike John Mahama who had 3 years 6 months as Vice President, 6 months as Acting President due to the death of Prof. Mills and of course another 4 years first term as a President.
4. Biden’s wife Mrs. Jill Biden has been solidly behind her husband campaigning for him because there is a saying that behind every successful man there is a good woman. But sadly enough the wife of John Mahama is nowhere to be found, completely distancing herself from Mahama’s campaign perhaps due to the pain and disgrace caused by the alleged Slay Queens of her husband John Mahama.
5. Biden fully enjoyed the support of his boss Obama and the wife Michelle. Unfortunately, J. J. Rawlings and the wife Nana Konadu are 100% against Mahama’s candidature. The wife of Prof. Mills is even against the meaningless comeback of the Incompetent John Mahama.
6. The Campaign Manager of Joe Biden was all over the place campaigning unlike Prof. Joshua Alabi who has quietly resigned from Mahama’s incoherent campaigns.
7. Kamala Harris the running mate to Joe Biden is a solid personality and astute politician who is fully supported by her lovely husband Douglas Emhoff in all her campaign activities and programmes unlike Prof. Jane Naana Opoku Agyeman who up to now nobody knows the whereabouts of her husband.
8. Kamala Harris is an accomplished Senator unlike Prof. Jane Naana Opoku Agyeman.
9. Kamala Harris was never part of Obama/Biden Government unlike Prof. Jane Naana Opoku Agyeman who ignorantly and ill-advised Mahama to cancel allowances for Teacher’s and Nursing Trainees as a Sector Minister of Education in Mahama’s Government.
10. Kamala Harris is a better woman in terms of everything than the woman running mate of John Mahama.
11. This is Biden’s first attempt at the presidency unlike John Mahama who is coming for the third time having tried in 2012, 2016 and now 2020.
12. Joe Biden has never been President before, this his first time as the President-elect unlike John Mahama who has been an Acting President for 6 months due to the death of Prof. Mills and again as a substantive President for a whole 4 years.
13. Joe Biden is more polish and well cultured than John Mahama.
14. Joe Biden never use words such as Dead Goat and Baloney to respond to the American people when he was even a Vice President unlike John Mahama.
15. Joe Biden never described the American people as having short memories unlike John Mahama who referred to Ghanaians as having short memories.
16. Joe Biden never engaged himself in a Airbus Scandal as a Vice President to Obama unlike John Mahama.
17. Joe Biden was never investigated by Obama while serving as a Vice President unlike John Mahama who was investigated by Prof. Mills over corruption.
18.Joe Biden never subjected the American people to 5 years of Dumsor unlike John Mahama who victimized and tortured Ghanaians together with their businesses with 5 years of Dumsor.
19. Joe Biden never took Ford Expedition bribe from a Contractor unlike John Mahama.
It is important for John Mahama to understand that he does not share the same destiny with Joe Biden likewise his running mate with the running mate of Joe Biden. John Mahama shares more character traits with Donald Trump”.
According to Mr Razak Kojo Opoku, Joe Biden largely won the American elections on the account of poor management of COVID-19, bad foreign policies and loose talk of Donald Trump.
He noted that President Nana Akufo-Addo and the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) shall win the 2020 General Elections on the account of excellent and prudent management of the COVID-19.
He added that the restoration of decency to the Seat of Government and implementation of the laudable policies and programmes will make President Akufo-Addo win the 2020 polls.
The programmes, Mr Kojo Opoku enumerated include:
1. Free Senior High School (SHS)
2. 1 District, 1 Factory
3. 1 Constituency, 1 Ambulance
4. 1 Village, 1 Dam
5. Saving the Banking/ Financial Sector through the payment of depositors’ monies.
5. Digitalization of the Ghanaian economy.
6. Reducing Mahama’s 15.4% Inflation to 10.8%.
7. Reducing Mahama’s policy rate of 26.4% to 14%.
8. Provision of Free Water to Ghanaians.
9. Provision of Free Electricity to Ghanaians.
10. Successfully solving Mahama’s 5 years of Dumsor.
11. Construction of 4 major interchanges and asphalting over 595km of roads across the country.

Mr Razak Kojo Opoku said John Mahama and the NDC can continue to rely on superstition, pointing out that the 2020 election is about track record, leadership and achievements.
According to him, President Akufo-Addo’s Government stand tall in terms of achievements and that Mr Mahama shall have another shocking defeat in the December 7 general election.
