I’m likely to contest elections again – John Mahama

The Bole MP said; “former President John Dramani Mahama who is from Bole here has asked me to tell the good people of Bole-Bamboi Constituency that he has not forgotten of the good things they have done for him over the years and that Inshah Allah (God willing) he is likely to come back to contest elections in his party and so they should use this special Eid-ul-Adha day to thank God and to ask for good health, success and victory for him”.
Hon Sulemana added that Prophet Ibrahim was commanded by God to sacrifice his only son Ismael to God and that Ibrahim made an attempt; which is the highest form of obedience to God and so former President Mahama entreats his Bole-Bamboi constituents to continue to be obedient to their creator, their parents, elders and also respect and love each other.
