Director of Communications for the New Patriotic Party Yaw Buaben-Asamoa has told former president John Dramani Mahama to carry his messages to the electorates because President Akufo Addo won’t be debating him.
According to Mr Asamoah, said both the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and NPP have the electorates as their audience, therefore if there is anything to be said, it must be to the hearing of the electorates. He added that the President is busy delivering and touching lives of Ghanaians therefore he won’t be ready for debate.
Speaking to Starr News he said, “it’s not for us to accept or deny a challenge from the former president. His audience is the electorates, our audience is the electorates and we are very busy engaging the electorates. So, if he has anything to do, he better engage the electorates.”
As to whether the president was not running away from a debate, Mr Buaben-Asamoa maintained “it’s not about somebody’s perception, it’s about the effectiveness, leadership, listening, compassion and delivery. President Akufo-Addo is delivering.”
“He is delivering on the matters that touch on the lives of Ghanaians, that impact the Ghanaian the most. Those matters are not a subject of debate between John Mahama and Nana Addo.”
“John Mahama had the opportunity, he couldn’t deliver. He made vacorous promises and couldn’t deliver. He is still going round making promises he has no intention of delivering. In one breadth he says freebies are not good, in another breadth he is going to give everything away free because we have managed to implement policies that touch the lives of people. Governance for us is more serious than debating John Mahama,” he added.
