Gabby Otchere-Darko meets Mahama
Mahama denies being consulted on E-levy impasse
Veteran politician, Allotey Jacobs, has said former President John Dramani Mahama exhibited great leadership by meeting Gabby Otchere-Darko over the controversial Electronic Transaction Levy (E-levy).
According to him, John Mahama showed he had the interest of the people in the country at heart.
“We believe in personality worship and cult but for him to meet Gabby Otchere-Darko shows leadership because sometimes you should tower about your supporters and make sure the interest of this country is paramount,” he acknowledged.
He added that Gabby’s visit to Mahama’s office is a step in the right direction as it was in the good interest of the country.
“Gabby is not the political leader but he is a pseudo-political leader. I mean in democracies we have that kind of people who can influence, generate and regenerate so I accept that.
“But as to whether he will succeed. If he succeeds, it is in the good interest of the good people of Ghana,” Adomonline quoted.
