The flagbearer for the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, has responded sharply to former President John Mahama’s latest questions about his record as Vice President.
The Vice President called on Mr Mahama to engage in a direct debate instead of using “flimsy questions.”
This call came in response to Mahama’s five-question challenge to Dr Bawumia, reminiscent of the 170 questions he posed to then-Vice President Paa Kwesi Amissah-Arthur in the lead-up to the 2016 election.
In his rebuttal, Dr Bawumia issued a pointed invitation to Mr Mahama, declaring, “I would have thought he would be man enough to face me in a one-on-one debate for the Ghanaian public to assess our respective policies, achievements, and visions. He should not hide behind these flimsy questions to avoid a debate.”
Dr Bawumia added that Mahama’s questions were no match for the more “substantive” issues he was prepared to address, offering his own list of 50 questions about Mr Mahama’s track record on the economy, infrastructure, and social intervention policies.
“Come for a debate, and I can ask the moderators to ask me these five flimsy questions,” he quipped, challenging Mahama on policies ranging from educational reforms to infrastructure growth under the NDC.
