Ambbadador Daniel Osei, former Ghanaian Consul to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) under former President John Dramani Mahama, said his biggest mistake in his political life was that he made an appointment of the former President.

According to the avowed spokesman of the former head of state, the reasons for which Mr. Mahama appointed him were in contradiction with his principles and he regrets to have taken office .

Ambbadador Osei strongly campaigned against Mahama's reelection as the standard bearer for leading the NEC in the crucial 2020 elections, saying the latter lacks visionary thinking and leadership skills.

He stressed that the NDC delegates will do a disservice to the party when they go to the polls on February 23, 2019 and vote for the election of his former boss, adding that Mr. Mahama must be rejected in order to prevent it from coming up accumulate wealth at the expense of the country.

Speaking to welcome Kwaku Owusu Adjei on Anopa Kasapa on Kasapa FM, Ambbadador Osei revealed that former President Mahama and his government had done everything possible in 2016 to prevent it. to return to Ghana to campaign for the party.

"They did everything to stop me, but I had to fight them and my conversations continued by email to come to Ghana." I could have sat somewhere, but I went down to Ghana and devoted my quota for party promotion I came months before the election to campaign, and in every constituency where I worked we won, so it's not about the person.

He added, "When I was given the job and I went to the UAE, I went there with the intention of serving my country and I did my job. better. As many countries do not have embbadies in Abu Dhabi, I decided to have Ghana set up an embbady in Abu Dhabi and help set up one in Ghana. I met with the emirate's foreign affairs representative in Dubai and organized a meeting in Abu Dhabi. They agreed to help us establish an embbady and to help us find funds to do so.

I informed Mr. Mahama about it and told him how important it would be for Ghana to have this embbady to maintain close relations with the Gulf country, but he told me in a shocking way that we We would build the embbady ourselves when we come back to power in 2017 and we do not need their help. I was sad and this clearly shows that, this was not his goal, his goal was not to seek greatness for the country. All that Mahama knows is money, money, money. Do not choose it to lead the NDC again, we have better alternatives, visionary leaders. "
