Isaac Adongo has stated that 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.
“Was Akufo-Addo ignorant or insulting in 2020? Why was Akufo-Addo reluctant to meet John Mahama in the 2020 debates? And now you are demanding a debate after ruining your career, and you want to use John Mahama to revive your career, not because you say anything but because you lie.”
“When you know you have done better and done good things,. John Mahama has met with the press even when he was an opposition leader. Why are you not meeting with the press? Let them ask the questions, and let the press answer them.”
