So far, so very good, but it doesn\u2019t make me NDC,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He further indicated that his political views are not tied to any single party, drawing parallels between his support for Mahama and his previous admiration for former President Nana Akufo-Addo.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am a strong supporter of John Mahama, same as Akufo-Addo,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking in an interview on Channel One TV, A-Plus emphasised that he recognises leadership potential across both the NDC and the New Patriotic Party (NPP), stressing that competence should take precedence over partisan identity.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are so many people in both political parties that I like, who I think can be presidents of Ghana. But that doesn\u2019t make me NDC. There are also people in the NPP that I think, given the opportunity, will perform,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He added that Ghana\u2019s progress depends on leadership that prioritises national development above political divisions, underscoring the need for a leader capable of driving meaningful transformation in the country.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h6>Disclaimer: The content provided on Fish FM Online is for informational and entertainment purposes only.
