The campaign spokesperson of the flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Dennis Miracles Aboagye has told Former President John Dramani Mahama who is also the flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) that he also decided to campaign in Accra today Tuesday, August 27, knowing very well Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia was campaigning in Accra yesterday Monday August 26.
Miracles Aboagye asked whether Mr Mahama is in Accra today to cover the campaign Bawumia did yesterday.
His comments come at a time when Mr Mahama had told Dr Bawumia that the media encounter held by the latter on Sunday, August 25, just a day after the NDC launched their manifesto was with a devious intention.
In the view of Mr Mahama, the media encounter was to divert the attention of Ghanaians from the NDC manifesto.
He further said that Dr Bawumia was exposed during the media encounter because of the ‘sudden stammering posture” he adopted.
Speaking during day one of his 2-day in Ada as part of his Greater Accra Regional campaign on Tuesday, August 27 he said “Just yesterday the Cedi crossed the 16 Cedi to one dollar barrier. When you do something with a devious intention it backfires on you, we announced we were going to launch our manifesto on the 24th of August, immediately our opponents announced that they were going to do a media encounter on the 25th of August, the very next day.
“The intention for doing that media encounter the next day after we had announced our manifesto was to get the attention of Ghanaians from the NDC manifesto, that was the main reason that they decided to do a media encounter the very next day after we launched our manifesto.
“When you do something with devious intentions, it backfires on you. You know how to tell if people are lying, if there are people who are smooth talkers who can speak like machine guns, the time when they become stammerers you know they are lying. Somebody who has been speaking ‘ratatatata’ like AK 47 suddenly, at a media encounter, starts stammering.”
But in a post on his Facebook page, Miracles Aboagye said “Very Petty, If your Manifesto is empty, it’s empty. No one needs to do anything to cover up. If it’s a serious manifesto, Ghanaians would discuss it even for years. Who takes a Manifesto that says it will make “night club” 24hours serious. Who? Who takes a Manifesto that says it will let people wake up to go queue at 2am for their passports serious? Who takes a Manifesto that says it will have 3 Chief Directors at a Ministry to run 3shifts serious?
“When you announced to launch your manifesto a week after we launch ours? Was it your thinking to do that to cover ours? You have been an opposition leader for 8years, been elected for over a year and half before Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia was elected. Yet you waited for him to announce the date for his Manifesto launch and then immediately, you announce to hold yours exactly 6days after his launch. Was it your idea to cover his launch.
“Of course we knew it was to copy his Manifesto but now we know the second strategy was to cover his manifesto launch. You decided to campaign in Accra today, knowing very well Dr. Bawumia was campaigning in Accra yesterday. Are you in Accra today to cover his campaign he did yesterday? Is that your thinking?
“Instead of using the time you have to explain your dead ideas, you are here wailing about something of no substance. Let’s Stop being petty and get serious.”
