Alhaji Dr. Mahamadu Bawumia, the flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), is taking on former president John Mahama, the flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), in a national debate on subjects so that Ghanaians can compare the two parties’ programs.
Speaking at a small gathering in Bunkpurugu to kick off phase two of his national campaign tour, Dr. Bawumia expressed regret that the former President is unwilling to engage in debate, stating that he is aware that he will reveal the hollowness of his programs.
He claimed that none of his own workers could possibly comprehend the former President’s 24-hour economy, which is as empty as an empty barrel.
Dr. Bawumia states that he is looking forward to challenging Mr. Mahama on the topics of the economy, governance, and national advancement at the debate stage.
“I am looking forward to a debate, with John Mahama on the economy, on the country, on the government. But I am afraid that he is running away from a debate. Isn’t? His people say he doesn’t want to debate. But he doesn’t want to debate because he knows I’ll expose the emptiness of his policies” he said.
“He says he has a 24-hour economy that he cannot explain. It is as empty as an empty barrel. He cannot explain, none of his people can explain. They say they will be exporting lions and elephants. But when we meet, mano-a-mano, we can debate, and Ghanaians will see where our policies lie. And that is the way we should go”.
