…As the President ponders over this, his next move as the head of state trying to unite the country might be how to get the NPP to back him in carrying out his mandate which could lead to the realization of the “Better Ghana Agenda(2)” dream as promised.
In the eyes of many, this look quite herculean with the President being shown the “exit” and a “red card” by the NPP in the form of boycotting his inauguration among other things registering their displeasure about the December polls which “denied” Nana Addo ( the King) as affectionately called from ascending to the highest office of the land.
Although the boycott holds, Ghana’s former President and a member of the New Patriotic Party, Mr. John Agyekum Kufour has to be at the function as a statesman. This move has not gone down too well with some members of the party, describing it as a form of “betrayal” or a “stab in the back” but the former President says he is in full support of their petition to the Supreme Court.
With this , it is rather unfortunate how some Ghanaians are viewing the actions and inactions of the NPP. For some, the behaviour of the party’s followers is infantile and unaccepted. Others think it is a mere state of being aggressive and hungry for political power.
The only response from the NPP to such individuals is that if the NDC is matured and really understand democracy, they must allow the law to take its course.
So, with President John Mahama already enjoying some baptism of fire from the biggest opposition party in Ghana, will he be able to contain them for the next four years subject to the Supreme Court’s decision?
Having the sense of unity, peace and love, the President must do everything within his means to get the NPP on his side in order to have a smooth tenure of office.
The only conclusion to be drawn from the above is that “coming events cast their shadows”.
