Private legal practitioner and activist and leader of #FixTheCountry Oliver Barker-Vormawor has stated that the mandate given by Ghanaians to the National Democratic Congress (NDC) is unprecedented and an agenda for constitutional reforms.
He argued that the country may never get to the kind of history again; hence it was important that the president-elect, John Dramani Mahama, deliver on the mandate Ghanaians have given him and his party.
He stated that the incoming president has an opportunity to leave behind a legacy no president has ever achieved apart from the late Dr. Kwame Nkrumah.
In his view, if the trust given to the NDC is wasted, he is not sure Ghana can get anywhere close to its vision.
In a post on Facebook he said “Listen, it took 32 years, 8 regular election cycles and 2 run off elections, for us to get here. We may likely never be here again.
So hear me when I say, this is a mandate for Constitutional Reform! This is a mandate for probity and accountability, if I ever saw one. A mandate to build a legacy no one has ever been able to build, apart from Nkrumah.
If the trust of the Ghanaian voter is wasted, I am not sure we can ever ever again, get Ghana anywhere close to its vision.”

Mahama got 56 percent of the popular vote. 14 out of 16 regions. 68 percent of the military vote. And 80 percent of the police vote.
Over 2/3rds majority in Parliament. A President who is a one term president and so has no reelection concerns. A person who has presidential experience; and so can hit the ground running from day 1.
Listen, it took 32 years, 8 regular election cycles and 2 run off elections, for us to get here. We may likely never be here again.
So hear me when I say, this is a mandate for Constitutional Reform! This is a mandate for probity and accountability, if I ever saw one. A mandate to build a legacy no one has ever been able to build, apart from Nkrumah.

We are prepared to give the new President a mandate from the streets too. Bigger than Jerry got in ‘ 79.
All the Ghanaian has to give, we have given!
There can be no excuses this time. Wallahi, Only the NDC can sabotage the NDC at this rate.
Shalom
