The 2024 Presidential candidate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) John Mahama has been given a week by a group of Ga-Dangme Youth to retract his derogatory comments against their tribe or risk facing their wrath in the coming weeks.
The former President during an interaction with NDC supporters at Chorkor Xtra O in the Ablekuma South Constituency as part of his tour of the Greater Accra region to canvass for votes said he has failed to fathom why the Presidential candidate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia will want to implement digitization nationwide when not all Ghanaians need that policy.
He is quoted as saying Gas and Dangmes need only kenkey and fish to survive and not digitization preached by Dr. Bawumia.
Spokesperson of the Concerned Ga-Dangme Youth, Daniel Tetteh at a press conference in Accra said his comments suggest that the owners of the capital city don’t require any level of development but just food. Mr. Tetteh therefore demanded a retraction and apology from the former President.
Tetteh continued that he is still seeking to understand why a former leader who has benefitted greatly from the votes of Gas since 2012 when he first contested as President will conclude that all Gas needs is kenkey and fish and not development.
The livid youth said they are disappointed that the ex-Ghanaian leader who cannot boast of advancing development in the Greater Accra Region would want to add insult to injury by denigrating them.

Another speaker said they have given an ultimatum to the NDC flag bearer John Mahama to respond to their query in a week.
