The New Patriotic Party (NPP) asserts that John Dramani Mahama, the flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), lacks a substantial message, which is why he is avoiding a debate with Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.
This statement comes after Mahama declined President Akufo-Addo’s challenge for a debate, claiming that participating would elevate Bawumia to his level.
In an interview with Citi News, Miracles Dennis Aboagye, a spokesperson for the Bawumia campaign team, stated that Mahama is simply dodging the debate because he has little to offer Ghanaians.
Make yourself available, engage with your supporters, look them in the eyes, and let’s hear your solutions compared to your opponent’s. Instead, you’re making excuses and avoiding Dr. Bawumia all this time.
At first, you said he wasn’t the flagbearer and that he needed to be elected before debating you. He has met that requirement.
Now it’s time to debate after fulfilling that condition. You previously suggested he should debate teachers; he’s done that. He has engaged with various sectors and is ready to debate a former president, no matter where he is.
