The presidential candidate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) John Mahama has described Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia’s 50 questions as a nursery rhyme.
According to John Mahama, he woke up this morning and saw 50 questions from Dr. Bawumia as if the vice president just learned those things like children do in their nursery rhymes.
John Mahama stated, “I woke up this morning and I saw 50 questions to me. It looks like our vice president has just learned those things in the 50 questions the way we used to learn baa baa black sheep because I asked you five simple questions on the economy, that’s all, simple questions that Ghanaians want you to answer you go and respond with how many compose plants, how many this did you build, that is not what the issue is in Ghana today”.
Speaking to Ghanaians on a campaign platform John Mahama used words from Bill Clinton’s campaign team in 1992 to describe Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia’s 50 questions to him.
The NDC presidential candidate said, “Let me take you down memory lane in 1992 there was an election in America, between Bill Clinton and George Bush snr, at the time the American economy was in recession, the way the Ghanaian economy is in crisis today, and people were talking about immigration, and people were talking about all kinds of useless things, you know what the Clinton people said, it is about the economy, stupid”.
“Today I am repeating those words this election is about the economy, stupid, it is not about all those other useless things, answer the five simple questions”. He boldly reiterated.
John Mahama further stated that Dr. Bawumia cannot hide behind a debate before he answers the five questions, adding when he asked the late Amissah Arthur 170 questions he did not agree to go and debate for him to answer them.
