Political Activist, Bernard Mornah, has declared his intentions of contesting for the position of the highest political office in the land.

The former National Chairman for the People’s National Convention (PNC) and the lead convener of AriseGhana, stated that, the current state of Ghana’s economy demands that Ghanaians give him the opportunity to lead and transform the economy.

According to him, the plethora of experience he has gathered over the years has groomed him to become well-suited to be Ghana’s next president.

In an interview with Umaru Sanda Amadu on Citi FM's Eyewitness News monitored by Peacefmonline.com, Bernard Mornah credits his desire to be President to his ability to address the greed of some government officials which the current administration is afraid to tackle and knead in the bud.

Speaking further, Bernard Mornah revealed that the greed that has ensnared the country’s leadership and his courage to implement policies to deal with it is what would advance the country forward.  

"I have insisted that probably I am not good enough to be an MP for a constituency, but I am more than good enough to be the President of the nation.

“There are many reasons because I see that first and foremost the greed of our leadership has collapsed our economy and actually blurred the future of our nation.

“I have also seen that because of lack of courage, our leaders have acquiesced to policies and programmes from Western and Breton Wood institutions that tend to undermine our forward growth as a nation. Thirdly I also see that it appears that sometimes we went [go] to school, and we only learn not to come and apply what we have learnt within the confines of our environment,” he said.
