The Presidential Candidate of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia says his main contender, John Dramani Mahama is ‘’Empty’’ and lacks ideas to govern the country when given the power.
According to the NPP flagbearer, ‘’John Mahama says he has a 24-hour economy that he cannot explain. It’s as empty as an empty barrel. He cannot explain it and none of his people can explain it. They say they’ll be exporting lions and elephants but when we meet man and man we will debate and the country will see where our policies lie’’.
The Vice President said this when addressing a gathering of electorate in the North East Region, where he invited the former President for a debate.
Dr. Bawumia noted that he is to engage in an economic and governance discourse with Mahama but raised suspicion about the latter’s reluctance, adding that Mahama fears being confronted with the hollowness of his policies including his much-touted 24-hour economy.
He stated “I’m looking forward to a debate with John Mahama on the economy, country and governance but I’m afraid that he is running away from a debate. Isn’t it? His people say he doesn’t want to debate. He doesn’t want to debate because he knows I will expose the emptiness of his policies’’.
‘’That’s where we should go, we should give the country an opportunity to listen to us but if he chooses not to debate then I will continue to sell ny policies to the people of Ghana and you’ll take the decision,” Dr. Bawumia noted.
NDC Runs Away
Meanwhile, the spokesperson for the John Mahama Campaign Team, Joyce Bawah Mogtari, has rejected calls for a pre-election debate between the NDC flagbearer and Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the flagbearer of the NPP.
According to her, “I personally have no appetite for a debate…When I look at what we have, when I look at the current trajectory, when I look at the failings of this particular administration, I ask myself ‘why do we need to put up with a debate’? But of course, this is a decision that the upper people usually will make.
She claimed “It’s not my decision to make, as the debates and conversations go along, maybe eventually some conversations will happen around it, who knows?
“We do know all about the debates between John Mahama and then-candidate Akufo-Addo and we know who won those debates. So, I believe that the fact that Mr Mahama is a man whose energy and knowledge is unparallel is not in doubt. And I’m sure on any day, whomever, I know he’s going to win the debate. But I don’t think that immediately I will want to see that,” she maintained.
