This is a golden opportunity for President John Dramani Mahama to make tough decisions to succeed because he will not be seeking re-election, Celebrated investigative journalist, Manasseh Azure Awuni has said.
Manasseh recounted that one major weakness in President Mahama's first term, from 2013 to 2016, was his inability to make tough decisions but given that he will not contest again, he should not be worried about offending his own people for making tough decisions in the interest of the country. "You Won't Seek Re-election: One major weakness in your first term was your inability to make tough decisions.
You cannot succeed as president or a leader when you're afraid to offend some party members. "Thankfully, this time, you don't have to go to them for nomination, so those who would oppose your good deeds for their selfish reasons should not be allowed to hold Ghana to ransom.
You are better placed to act tough and set good examples.
