The Ghana Union of Traders Association has praised the leader of the NDC, John Mahama for his humility. GUTA’s President Dr. Joseph Obeng praised the former President for giving everyone a listening ear including traders.
Dr. Joseph Obeng was full of praise for the NDC flagbearer when they met on Monday. According to the GUTA leader, John Mahama was always ready to listen to everyone.
He said GUTA was among the first group of people to visit the Castle when Prof. John Evans Atta Mills was elected President. John Mahama as vice received the GUTA delegation and was very receptive Mahama.
“We were among the first people to visit you at the castle when you became the vice president…We talked in detail. One thing I observed from that meeting was that you take your time and listen.
“Your Excellency, you remember when we were talking about how you were going to finance your Savannah Project. And we had suggested that you tap into the Export Trade, Agricultural and Industrial Development Fund (EDAIF) which was being underutilized.
“…You listened to us, you remember what you said, ‘not only one person is knowledgeable’, So, if someone like you was advised by ordinary traders at that time, because he believes wisdom can be found in lots of people and not one person, it means he’s a receptive leader.”
