"...Even Trump with all his wild ideas had the boldness to attend the debate. This morning he (Nana Addo) rather went on Peace FM and spoke slangs there . So I said if you can speak slangs then you should come to the debate and speak there...” said President John Dramani Mahama.
President Mahama who was speaking to party supporters in the Volta Region, Friday, made the above statement in reaction to various issues raised by the flagbearer of the opposition, New Patriotic Party, Nana Addo Danquah Akufo Addo during an interview on Peace FM, Friday.
Nana Akufo Addo had a one-on-one interview with host of Peace FM flagship programme, Kokrokoo, Kwami Sefa Kayi, Friday (December 2, 2016) morning.
Among other issues discussed during the interview, the NPP flagbearer dismissed claims of being divisive and tribalistic.
"When you’re about to deliver a speech or address a gathering, just say what you want to do for Ghanaians for Ghana to progress. That’s why I plead with you, If you assess what I’m saying and it makes sense, if you look at what I’m saying and there’s wisdom in it; vote for me and I will also honour my promise when elected” he added.
However, the President wonders why the NPP flagbearer is 'running' away from debates and rather granting interviews.
According to him, "he (Nana Addo) says so many things that are wrong. So I said come and sit down and let’s have a debate so that Ghanaians will know the truth; he run away. So after running away from the one-on-one, the NCCE gave the opportunity to all of us who want to be president to come and tell Ghanaians why we want to be president, that one was not one-on-one; so at least show respect to the Ghanaian people and come; that one too he run away.
I am the President; I should be the one reluctant to come to the debate because all of them will be attacking you because they want your post. But I am the first sitting president to take part in a debate, in 2012 I did it, and this year too, I engaged in the debate. But the leader of the opposition is rather running away, which is very strange. Even Trump with all his wild ideas had the boldness to attend the debate. This morning (Friday) he rather went on Peace FM and spoke slangs there . So I said if you can speak slangs then you should come to the debate and speak there” the President stated.

Sometimes when I hear this man speak I wonder what he's been smoking.Why does this man think that a debate is that important to anyone in our present situation?He says he's done more for this country than even Nkrumah.[That of course is the greatest fallacy of the century]If this were so why the desperation?Why the back to back adverts on radio and TV?why the numerous huge advertising billboards all over the country?Why is every tree from Damango to Tema tied with NDC cloth?Why the attempts to rig the elections?And to those who are asking him to 'toaso'. To 'toaso' with what? The blatant rape of the national kitty? The contracts to friends and family?The massive borrowing that will enslave your children for decades? Wise up people. Mahama is pure poison. Go out there and emphatically VOTE him out. Your very existence depends on it.
Now I know President Mahama has lost it. A very desperate man indeed trying to hang unto something he's alreadsy lost.
Asibri sibri kontomere.
William Akuffo Addo is a proud chicken who found it beneath himself to stand on a platform with people he thinks are his minions and debate them. He was afraid of being debunked of his wild promises to Ghanaians. He wants to maintain the false air he created around himself among the illiterates. What a cheap man. Ghanaians are wise, and he will lose again.
Keep rubbing your testicles till Lordina catches you in the act and leave Nana alone.You can make your wishful thinking and live in foos paradise. NDC is going to meet its doom on 7th. Dec. exactly this coming wednesday under your watch, hands down.These adhoc solutions, approaches and rush-infrastructural development of latent content-without policy guidelines cannot win you an election, clearly, can only impress foos but not discernig Ghanaians. Mahama please stop underrating and insulting the good People of Ghana. Enough is enough and your time is up!!!
Is the president or his people reading these comments? I bet they will cry. The whole nation is against him- JDM( Judgement Debt Manager)Please for christ's sake just go in peace and not in pieces. If you dare connive with anybody to try to steal the mandate of Ghanaians well, I wont show you far: ask Bagbo where he is! mayue mas3m ka
Ohh, what's all this desperate childish talk for? Please grow, up Mr Prez. Di you not refuse another debate platform?
I would like Mahama to debate Bubri Naabu about the Bribery charge ...Nana has no time for u ...wu n3 s3 bola Mahama Offui
Why is Mahama complaining? Does Akufo Addo's refusal to debate disadvantage him in any way? As3m b3n nie?
Please, is the president confused or he's just dumb? If the presidency is "his post" why is he contesting? They're all contesting to occupy the seat when it becomes vacant on the 7th January, 2017. If he thinks it's "his post" he must call off the election. Mr 'Postident' stop embarrassing Ghanaians. For you as a dead-goat know no embarrassment.
