Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has called National Democratic Congress (NDC) candidate, John Dramani Mahama’s 24-hour economy concept “empty.”
Dr. Bawumia charged that Mr. Mahama was unable to define the 24-hour economy.
“He says he has a 24-hour economy which he cannot explain. It is as empty as an empty barrel. He cannot explain it and none of his people can explain it. They say they will be exporting lions and elephants,” he said.
In addition, Dr. Bawumia challenged Mr. Mahama to a live presidential debate in which they would present their different platforms and plans to the Ghanaian public.
Speaking to hundreds of his fans in Bunkpurugu, North East Region, yesterday night, Dr. Bawumia expressed his eagerness for a debate with Mahama, but expressed less optimism that it would take place due to Mahama’s apparent “running away.”
“I am looking forward to a debate with John Mahama on the economy, on the country on the governance,” Dr. Bawumia said.
“But I am afraid that he is running away from a debate. His people say he doesn’t want to debate. I have never heard an opposition leader who doesn’t want to debate. But he knows I will expose the emptiness of his policies,” the NPP flagbearer added.
