Flagbearer of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama has dared NPP’s, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia to answer 5 questions on the current state of the Ghanaian economy.
According to him, Dr Bawumia as the Vice President and head of the economic management team has run the economy to its knees.
Mahama wants Bawumia to answer the questions just as he once demanded answers to 170 statements and claims from then-Vice President Paa Kwesi Amissah-Arthur.
Addressing a mini rally in Tatale as part of his Northern Region Campaign Tour, John Mahama mocked the vice president for shying away from matters of the economic to escape accountability and dared him to answer the following questions.
According to John Mahama, Dr Bawumia was very vocal about economic issues, including doing “gbegbegbegbe about the economy,” however, “today he can’t mention ‘economy’, it is not in his vocabulary.
Anytime he opens his mouth ‘digitalisation.”
