Mahama's running companion … Immaterial of body size, for the very well-built leaders, choose the "Di Asa" candidates! | Policy

National Democratic Congress (NDC) General Secretary Johnson Asiedu Nketia has refrained from denying or confirming speculation that he is interested in partnering with John Dramani Mahama as a candidate in the parliamentary elections. 39, next year.

Vice-President Dr. Bawumia last week debated the future NDC flag-bearer candidate, John Mahama, mentioning Mr. Nketiah's name.

In his special guest honor speech at a graduation ceremony at the Armed Forces College of Ghana, Mr. Bawumia said: "One of our graduates today, Johnson Asiedu Nketiah … is known as "General Mosquito" and also Secretary General of the NDC. It was said that when he entered this institution, he left all his "ntuatua" behind the door. As I squeezed his hand, I wondered if physical training and exercises had added more muscles to him … but apparently, he did not do it … I'm told that & # 39; 39, he did not come here for the physical muscles … but came here to strengthen the CND's intellectual capacity … and strengthen his case of candidate for the vice presidency ".

In response to this in an interview on FM agreement& # 39; S "Ade Akye Abia"Morning Show, NDC Secretary General stressed that"leadership has nothing to do with body size, so if we are looking for someone to run a party and if we think of a very built-up person, we should wait for whoever will win the "Di Asa" competition to be this leader in the party"

According to him, he is not surprised that often people tend to use his size to underestimate his intellectual abilities.

"The advice I will give everyone is that whatever work you do, do it effectively. For me, it's good that, no matter what project I start, people underestimate me to the extent that they are looking at the size of my body to determine if I can actually accomplish the task and I always prove to them that they are wrong during my delivery "he said.

Mr. Asiedu Nketiah revealed that many people criticized him while he was trying to consolidate his position as secretary general. Some argued that he did not deserve this high office within the NDC, given his small size.

"… when I was about to run for the post of General Secretary, most of the people I challenged said that I am not fit to hold this position given my small size, but I did not allow such comments to discourage me and today, the same people are still trying to make fun of me by saying that I'm positioning myself for the NDC Running Mate slot.", He stressed.
