"...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.

Politics is not about talking anyhow and trying to insult people's intelligence. The President should try and come clean. He who comes to equity must come with a clean hand. At one point you want a debate, at another point you say ..but not IEA and ... Masa we dont have time for these jokes. Be serious, you are a president...I just can't wait to vote this incompetence out.
Oooooh Mahama!!!! You speak likw a KG pupil...if you have no more messages for Ghanaians just ***barred word*** because these utterances are below the belt....aaaaba...if Nana can speak slangs....hahahaha....
Nana Addo is afraid of Mahama and the other presidential candidates because he has too many cobwebs he does not want people to see. At least we can see that Mahama is more accommodating, ready to sit down and debate with other presidential candidates. Nana Addo cannot defend his conflicting ideas and policies that do not appear feasible so he continues to run away.
'I can't think far!'. If Prez Mahama thinks he can choose and pick, why don't he allow his opponent to do same? Is it because he's sensing defeat? Where was he when his party refused to allow him to be on the IEA debate platform?
why cant Mahama leave Nana alone
