NDC Presidential Candidate, John Dramani Mahama, has responded to President Akufo-Addo’s legacy protection statement. Mahama’s reaction follows the President’s appeal to Ghanaians to vote for Dr Bawumia in the December Presidential election so that he can continue the good works of the NPP.
Addressing a mini rally at Doboro, President Akufo-Addo, told the crowd that voting for former President Mahama would derail the success chalked by his government. He then urged them to vote for Mahamudu Bawumia. President Akufo-Addo said he trusts Bawumia to continue with the good works already happening under NPP.
“This is our election year and the limited registration has started. Anybody who hasn’t registered and is eligible should go and register. This is because your right to vote is your power. Also, when the time is up for the voting, our job is simple. The person I defeated and my work since I took over, seems not to please him, I cannot hand over power to such a person. He will destroy whatever we have done when he comes,” Akufo Addo said.
“I am pleading with you to vote for the person I have worked with for the past seven and half years. I have faith in him and I know that he will come and continue the work I have begun as Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.”
However, in response, the NDC flag bearer said he won’t continue with Akufo-Addo’s legacy. John Mahama said the President will not leave office with something worth protecting as it is only known for high-end corruption, misgovernance and arrogance.
“Of course, I will not protect your ‘legacy’ of corruption, misgovernance, arrogance, ineptitude, bankrupt economy, increased unemployment, and pushing more of our people into the poverty bracket,” John Mahama said in a social media post.
