"...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 president,i beg of you go and debate with Bugri Naabu on the bribings that you and your brother had made that qualifies you as a corruptible leader.
This president has got no message for the populace. just nonfa talks. ***barred word*** and air your manifesto to the ordinary man on the street
Mahama should know Monkeys play by sizes that is why he chose to go the NCCE debate and not IEA so what is his beef if Nana chooses not to come to that of the NCCE but IEA. He should give us a break.
Why is this man making so much noise in our ears?..u really are a nuisance Mahama..Ur impending defeat is going to be so great..u ll be shocked
Fffoolish president.....u$eless mammal....u will go!!!
What amazes me is that you will find people supporting what the president said. We should call a spade a spade and stop behaving like cockroaches. Hypocrisy is killing Ghana. I THINK THE PRESIDENT IS SO DESPERATE AND FRUSTRATED IF YOU LISTEN TO HIM CAREFULLY.
yes..
I thought this guy just pledged to embark on clean ame peaceful campaign devoid of insinuations? And now look at him talking about the way someone talks. Will that bring food to the table? What a mediocre president Ghana has!
