He questioned the sense in the projections of pundits that \u201cMahama is difficult to beat in 2020\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAkufo-Addo is too big for Mahama\u2026 me\u2026 me\u00a0 Kennedy Agyapong I can beat<br \/>\nMahama in any election. If Akufo-Addo likes, he should step aside for<br \/>\nme to face Mahama and I will do all the campaign. I will beat him! And<br \/>\nwhen I win I will bring Akufo-Addo back to rule\u201d he said on Adom TV Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>Kennedy Agyapong admitted things were hard in the country, but that Akufo-Addo \u201cis now\u00a0building the foundation for Ghana\u201d because\u00a0 \u201cMahama ate the foundation of<br \/>\nGhana in his mouth into his stomach\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He was speaking on the comment by former president Mahama that he is the goalkeeper NPP Fears.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Mahama took a swipe at his critics who think if he gets the opportunity to lead the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), it will derail the fortunes of the party in the 2020 general elections.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI hear our colleagues say that, don\u2019t you have people in NDC, why are u bringing the former president? The question you should ask them is, is it your business? Is it your matter? It\u2019s not your matter, leave us to choose who we want.\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s like Kotoko telling Hearts don\u2019t put this goalkeeper in your goalpost if you put him we will score you. What is your matter? After all you want to score them. The truth is that the only goalkeeper the NPP fears is me. You must elect a person who can win power for us. I believe that if you think carefully about it, if you are looking for a person who can bring power to the NDC, then that person is me,\u201d John Mahama added. He made the remark when he was addressing constituency delegates and some supporters of the party at Tumu in the Sissala East municipality to round up his 3-day campaign tour of the Upper West region.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Source: MyNewsGH.com<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Member of parliament for Assin Central the Honourable Kennedy Agyapong is pleading with President Akufo-Addo to step aside for him to contest the 2020 elections in order to beat what he calls a \u2018shameless candidate\u2019 John Mahama.
