The Director of Communications for the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP), Richard Ahiagbah, has described former President John Dramani Mahama as the "biblical wicked and lazy servant" from the parable in Matthew 25:14-30.

At a press briefing on November 27, Mr Ahiagbah criticized Mahama's tenure, claiming he failed to meet expectations during his presidency.

For this reason, he believes that he should not be given another chance in the December polls.

In contrast, Ahiagbah lauded the NPP's flagbearer, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, as a "good and faithful servant" who has "served Ghana well and deserves commendation and reward." He called on Ghanaians to deliver a landslide victory for the NPP, asserting it would retire Mr Mahama from politics permanently. "His Excellency John Dramani Mahama is the example of the biblical wicked and lazy servant who did not live up to expectations in his four years as president of this Republic.
