2024 Polls: We’ll Eat With The Devil, But Will Use A Long Spoon – Mahama to EC
Former President John Dramani Mahama has said the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) will be willing to work with the Electoral Commission during the 2024 elections.
According to him, even though the NDC remains unhappy with the manner in which the EC conducted the 2020 presidential and parliamentary polls, the party is ready to work with the Commission in the 2024 general elections, but will be more vigilant.
This he said, will however be based on the willingness of the electoral management body to ‘turn over a new leaf’, in its dealings with the party.
‘We hope that they will turn over a new leaf. They’ll stretch a hand of friendship to us. We also will extend a hand of friendship. But they say if you eat with the devil, you use a long spoon. And so you stand far away and eat. And so even though we will shake hands and be friends, they say trust but verify. We will trust but we will verify’, the 2020 NDC flagbearer intimated.
