Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, NPP Vice-Presidential Candidate,, has advised President John Mahama to try debating ordinary Ghanaians, who over the course of eight years, have become victims of his incompetent governance and who have seen a drastic worsening in their living and working conditions under the NDC.
Nana Akufo-Addo’s Running Mate also urged the President to start responding to the 170 facts he presented in his last lecture on the State of the Ghanaian economy, which the government has still not responded to despite promising to do so on various occasions.
Speaking in Sangban in the Tatale-Sanguli Constituency of the Northern Region on Friday, Dr.Bawumia said, “the President says he likes evidence, the evidence however shows that since 2000 his tenure as President from 2012 to 2016, he has been the worst performing President in terms of Ghana’s economy, that is the evidence, as I showed in my recent lecture”.
In obvious response to President Mahama’s new found appetite for a debate, Dr. Bawumia advised the President to try debating the people of Ghana in various sectors as the people are in the best position to tell him how his governance has impacted on their lives.
“Today John Mahama says he wants a debate on the economy. Now I want to challenge him to come to Sangban and debate with the people of Sangban on the economy; he should tell the people of Sangban, what he has done for them in the last 8 years – 4 years as Vice-President and 4 years as President.
He should tell the people of Northern Ghana what he did with the SADA money; he should go and debate with businesses that have collapsed because of Dumsor; he should debate with farmers who cannot buy fertilizers because of his policies. He should go and debate with businessmen who cannot access loans because of high interest rates”, he stated.
Continuing, Dr. Bawumia further challenged the President to rather ask for debates with Teacher and Nursing Trainees, the millions of unemployed youth and cocoa farmers.
“He should debate with Teacher Trainees who are not paid allowances because his government has refused to pay their allowances. He should go and debate Nursing Trainees.
He should debate the unemployed; our youth who cannot find jobs because the economy under him is collapsing. He should go and debate cocoa farmers whose farms are collapsing because of the collapse of the mass cocoa spraying programme. He should certainly debate with people who cannot afford to pay electricity bills or water bills”, he added.
Touching on the failure of the government to respond to his September 8 Lecture on the State of the Ghanaian Economy, Dr. Bawumia observed that the government has not been able to respond to that lecture because they cannot stand the truth.
“The President should go and debate with the people of Ghana who are suffering. That is where the real debate is. When I presented my last lecture on the economy, I presented facts and figures. I made 170 statements at least in that lecture.
Now instead of responding to that lecture, he and his vice-president are running away from those facts. If they want a debate on the economy, they should start with responding to those 170 facts in my lecture. They don’t want to because they cannot. They cannot stand the truth, they cannot stand the facts”, he noted.
Speaking later at Kpalbutab, also in the Tatale-Sanguli Constituency, Dr.Bawumia said Ghanaians will also be interested in a debate between the President and beneficiaries of scandalous Judgment debts like Alfred Woyome. Again, he noted that the President should as well debate former GYEEDA and SADA bosses who presided over the loot of Ghana’s resources as these debates will help the populace know when the looted monies will be returned.

Prophet Dr.Alhaji Bawumia has spoken. Let incompetent mutum banza Mahama go and account for how he and RLG chopped the money meant for northerners under SADA. Let them tell all of us.
Once your EC can obtain the Togo register and confirm the first list that Bawumia gave them, then I will personally give you Ndc 1diots the rest. Incompetent ***barred word*** and liars this Ndc. Disgraceful group of armed robbers and ***barred word*** called Ndc.
Has Bawumia now become the NPP flag bearer ? fooooooool, where is the so called Togo register with claim of 76,000 foreign registrants. Pink sheets and voters register falsifier who will take you serious? You want to popular too, fooooool.
You have just confirmed by your comment that you are a bigger phoooll because you didn't keep silent but have responded to a so called phoolish question. You see, you have always failed to make sense in any of your comments especially on issues that the NDC has no answers for. Shockingly, your darling president is an indecisive leader and I will show you in a minute; First, in his book "my first coup", he made it clear that as a boy, he was not decisive....and he has lived this life all the way to be president and still behaving same. Secondly, he said FREE SHS was not possible and bad yet he has shamefully and abysmally started it. Thirdly, he told the whole world that he would not pay teacher and nursing training allowances. He turned round to say he will pay. Fourthly, he again said he will not debate anyone and that the IEA platform was a biased one, now he wants to debate Nana Addo? By the way the NDC has no moral right to question the credibility of the IEA because we all know professor Jean Opoku Agyemang (Education Minister). A president who instituted a code of conduct for himself and his appointees not to accept gift (not bribe); the same man turned round to break the code through the acceptance of a bribe in the name a Ford expedition. When he was caught he told us he doesn't like Ford vehicles. Massa the list is endless. Soon and very soon this mediocrity will be relegated to the background of political oblivion.
This Dr Bawumia is toooo much. God bless the womb that gave birth to this gift of a gem for our dear nation.
When will you Dr Bean bring the remaining 90% of the ECOWAS register? The same register you and your NPP is hoping to be used to win both presidential and parliamentary elections
THE WISEST WAY TO ANSWER THE ***barred word*** IS TO KEEP SILENT. BECAUSE IT ONLY A PHOOL WHO ANSWERS PHOOLISH QUESTIONS.
