Flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party(NPP), Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has described the Former President John Dramani Mahama as angry and advised him to stop the insults and focus on debate ideas.
According to him, the former president has seen his impending defeat and is now angered by every little thing.
Dr. Bawumia alleged that Mahama has resorted to insulting various figures, including pastors, chiefs, the Chief Imam, and Civil Society Organizations (CSOs), accusing them of hypocrisy for supporting the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
“From the look of things he’s aware he’s lost the election already so the angry I hear he’s now insulting chiefs, pastors and Imams he’s calling them hypocrites. How can a former president say this?” he said during a community engagement at Nsakina in the Greater Accra Region.
Dr. Bawumia also claimed that Mahama is targeting the Electoral Commission and the NPP with his insults.
“As politicians, you should maintain a certain level of decency in your language” he stressed.
Bawumia emphasized that the upcoming election is about ideas, not insults hence suggested that the insults being used by the NDC shows they lack solutions.
“The NPP, has constructed more roads, bridges, and interchanges, created more jobs, and built more factories, schools, hospitals, and sports facilities than Mr. Mahama’s administration” he said highlighting some of their achievements.
He again expressed his desire for a one-on-one debate with Mahama, asserting that Mahama is avoiding the debate because he knows he Dr Bawumia would present facts and data.
