"...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.

Mr.John Mahama,though you are the President,this time around you can not call the shots we the electorates do.so you don't deserve any debate from Nana.change is coming.
In fact I feel so sorry for this disgraaaaace of a president. Sometimes the most powerful thing you can say is nothing at all. indeed, Nana Addo has proved how wise he is. He doesn't want to argue with a foooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooolish man like you. you should first explain why you didn't want to be part of the iea debate. suddenly you are interested in a debate organized by gov't institutions. you think we were born yesterday abi? this time, you tricks won't work.
oh now you have the questions and have probably promised a moderator a ministerial position eh. and how much did you pay for the questions, and how many cars did you give?
Grow up! If elections were won through debates Nduom would have been president. Besides u were the 1 who was 1st to run from a debate with Nana. Lean how to convey your message accoss like a leader.
NANA WILL NOT COME FOR YOU TO EXPOSE HIM. HE WILL RATHER GO TO THE PAID JOURNALISTS TO INTERVIEW HIM. EVEN THE THREE HOUR ALLOCATED FOR THE INTERVIEW COULD NOT BE EXHAUSTED.HE HAS NOTHING TO OFFER THIS NATION.
Mr President all over the world presidential candidate debates are carried out by private institutions not a government one more over every knows that last election presidential debates was leaked to someone and the person who leaked is today enjoying a position. God will surely Speak this time we are not going to see twenty-seven zero and we not hear we NDC have now found our ways of winning elections. 1st December 2016 we saw the boys and girls bus from RAVECO Hotel in NUGUA these people your government says you're training to be put on ships NDC bus these boys and girls to go and vote.NPP are sleeping on the job.This is a Disgraceful things to mother Ghana.
Mr. President I understand you so i don't blame you for the opportunities that you are now seeking for. There is a saying that when a person is being drowned, he looks for anything to hold onto to save himself even straws he will attempt to hold onto to it. God has rejected your presidency, do anything and everything your time is up. In fact no wonder the nation is not prospering under your watch, your problem is that you concentrate on trivial matters. Desperate man.
Since Mr Bugri Naabu exposed Mahama's attempt to bribe him in order to assassinate Nana's character he has been silent on it. Mahama will be bold to debate only on platforms where questions will be leaked to him. Jane Naana Opoku leaked questions to him, and the NCCE-GBC alliance did the same. Didn't Mahama run away when the IEA called them? Look who is accusing Nana Addo. Consistently this president is showing that he is f001ish. Is this the first time he's heard Nana speaking? to insinuate about slangs? In fact, Mahama doesn't deserve the honor to debate Nana Addo. Onukpa buuuluuu!
this man is very sstupid. if Nana Addo decides not to debate you,is it not good opportunity for you to go and tell the voters what you can do so that they would vote for you? Why did you decide not to partake in the IEA debate if you know that to debate is very important to you? you said you did take part in 2012 debate yeah is true, but why did you decide not to take part this time? Who told you that if you debate on GTV, that many Ghanaians will hear you? Come again mr use lesss president. Jonkey Murderer Twaso yabre wo ne bad governance, create,loot and share governance.
I could see ndc has a particular people they always deceive but thank God most Ghanaians are now wide awake this time.at first your party decided not to partake later when u see defeat starring in the face u call for one thorough NCCE of which Charlotte Osei the incompetent EC was the chairperson and now headed by an acting chairman whom u have chosen.U and your party think we can't think in between the lines and that is the most annoying and insulting thing you people continue to inflicts on us,you always insult our intelligence but thank he to God is only few days or hours to end all this crack incompetence and arrogance talking.
