John Dramani Mahama, the flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has criticized the NPP flagbearer, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia for asking Ghanaians to vote for him in the 2024 general elections.
Speaking at the launch of the NDC’s campaign on Saturday, July 27, in Tamale, Mahama argued that the youth cannot afford to waste another four years trying out Dr. Bawumia’s unproven leadership.
He slammed Dr. Bawumia for his role in the current government, which Mahama claims has mismanaged the economy.
Mahama emphasised that Dr. Bawumia does not deserve the opportunity to lead the country, given his past performance, stating that the youth are clamouring for an experienced hand who will create opportunities for them.
“On December 7, Ghana must change course, we cannot solve the crisis in which we are with the same people who caused the problem. Several years ago, somebody [President Akufo-Addo] came and said try me, the result is what we’re seeing today. Today, another person [Dr Bawumia] has come and he’s also saying try me.
“And he’s saying the same things the one who has put us in this ditch said eight years ago. And what they are saying is that if they don’t deliver after four years, change me.
“The youth of this country don’t have four years to waste. The youth of this country are in a hurry to create the opportunities that will make them live a dignified life. They are not going to try somebody and four years take him off. The youth want an experienced hand.”
