President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has stated that John Dramani Mahama, the flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), does not deserve to win the December elections because he lacks new ideas.
Akufo-Addo cited Mahama’s prior performance, emphasizing his loss in his second bid for reelection as proof that he was unfit to serve as president.
President Akufo-Addo made analogies between himself and former presidents Jerry John Rawlings, John Agyekum Kufuor, and himself, all of whom served two terms in office, during the unveiling of NPP running mate Matthew Opoku Prempeh.
Mahama’s rejection in his second term, Akufo-Addo emphasized, shows that he is unfit for the position.
“Since the 4th republic, Jerry John Rawlings was allowed to serve for his second term, John Agyekum Kuffuor was also allowed to serve for two terms and me, Nana Addo Dankwah Akufo-Addo has also been allowed to serve for two terms.
However, he [Mahama] was rejected for his second term and he’s now asking for a second chance. We won’t consider him for the presidency, either today or tomorrow.”
“He talks as if we don’t know his track record. He has nothing new to offer. We know his track record and he has nothing new for Ghanaians.
“We saw what he did during his tenure in office which led to his defeat in his second attempt, after realizing he was not fit for the job, why should we vote for him now? We won’t!”. He said.
