NDC needs a better candidate for 2020 polls not Mahama – Dela Coffie

Image
                                                                Dela Coffie - NDC Activist A staunch supporter of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Dela Coffie has cautioned leaders and members of the party to reject former President John Dramani Mahama as flagbearer of the party in the 2020 General Elections. To Dela Coffie, bringing the former President back as presidential candidate in the 2020 elections will jeopardize the party’s chances of regaining power because he has become very unpopular due to his humiliating loss in the previous presidential polls. According to him, if John Mahama, as an incumbent president could lose miserably in the 2016 elections, then he has no merit of becoming victorious in the upcoming elections, therefore retaining him as flagbearer will only keep the party in opposition for many years. He noted that since the party’s electoral defeat, little has been done to resolve issues that drove the party into opposition and those memories are s

According to him, it is his responsibility as God’s anointed to transform lives and win lost souls for God no matter where they find themselves in the world and the people of Denkyira-Obuasi are no exception. Residents of Denkyira-Obuasi in the Central Region have been marked as “outcasts” by a section of Ghanaians including some men of God after they lynched a military major, Maxwell Mahama. Major Maxwell Mahama was deplored to the community to help fight galamsey but was reportedly killed over mistaken identity by residents while he was going on early morning joggings. After their dastardly act, the town has become fearful and most Ghanaians have vowed never to visit the community. Among these people is the founder and leader of Heaven

Don’t make a difference in people’s lives by stealing their money - Bawumia

Image
Vice President Dr. Bawumia Vice President, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has advised leaders of institutions to serve with humility and dedication so as to make positive differences in the lives of their subordinates. According to the Vice President, because leadership comes with a time limit, it is very important as a leader, to understand the God given responsibility of serving and honouring his people in truth. “… The clock is ticking. Four years, eight years, you have to account for what you have done and if we are wise in public service we should understand that we are there for a limited time and we should use that time to make a difference in the lives of people,” he noted. He explained that making positive difference does not mean leaders should steal money from the same people whose 'destinies' have been entrusted into their hands. Speaking at the Harvest Chapel International in Accra, Dr. Bawumia lamented how leaders have become obsessed with wealth creation and thus h
