Outspoken Ghanaian Lawyer, Maurice Ampaw, has urged former President John Dramani to support Prof Joshua Alabi’s flagbearer ambition.

He considers the attempt by former President Mahama to run again in 2020 as a waste of time.

“I think Mahama has done his part for the country and needs to retire as a statesman and not to stage a comeback because it will only end up disgracing him. Go and support Joshua Alabi because he needs you,” he said on Neat FM monitored by Adomonline.com.
