Mahama won’t debate you to revive your failed career – Isaac Adongo tells Bawumia
A Ranking Member on Parliament’s Finance Committee, Isaac Adongo has stated that the flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama would not debate the flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr Mahamdu Bawumia to resurrect Bawumia’s failing career, marred by perceived dishonesty and incompetence.
This comes after the Majority Leader, Alexander Afenyo-Markin challenged Mahama to a debate with Bawumia, saying it would be an opportunity for Mahama to expose the government’s failures.
However, in an interview on Eyewitness News on Citi FM, Adongo countered that Bawumia has failed as Vice President and lacks credibility due to his perceived dishonesty.
Adongo questioned why Akufo-Addo avoided debating Mahama in 2020, asking if it was due to Akufo-Addo’s lack of preparation or fear of being exposed.
He challenged Bawumia to meet the press, as Mahama has done, to account for his actions instead of seeking a debate to revive his career.
“In 2020, was it because Akufo-Addo was clueless, was it because Akufo-Addo was insulting? Why wasn’t Akufo-Addo prepared to meet John Mahama in a debate in 2020? And now you are calling for a debate after you’ve messed up your career, you want to use John Mahama to resurrect your career, not because you’re going to say anything, you’re going to lie.”
“If you know that you are better and you have done well, John Mahama met the press, even as an opposition leader. Why are you not meeting the press? Let them put the questions to you, go and account to the press.”
