Former president, John Dramani Mahama has issued a brutal rebuttal to comments made by Nana Akufo-Addo about him recently.
Recall that Nana Akufo-Addo urged Ghanaians not to vote for Mahama claiming he would jeopardize the future of the country and undo his legacy.
At a rally in Doboro, President Akufo-Addo addressed a group of supporters and reaffirmed his endorsement of Dr Mahamadu Bawumia as the best candidate to lead Ghana forward.
“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.”
He added “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.”
In his response, Mahama emphasized that he is unable to safeguard Akufo-Addo’s legacy due to its lacklustre nature.
He pointed out that Akufo-Addo’s tenure is predominantly associated with corruption, misgovernance, arrogance, ineptitude, a struggling economy, rising unemployment, and exacerbating poverty levels. Mahama firmly stated that he could not align himself with such circumstances.
Mr Mahama in a post on his X platform stated “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.”
