Seasoned broadcast journalist and failed New Patriotic Party (NPP) Parliamentary Aspirant in the Wenchi constituency, Kojo Frimpong has discredited John Dramani Mahama on the basis of his call to debate President Akufo Addo.
According to him, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) flagbearer cannot call for a debate on infrastructure only when he failed to respond to a debate challenge when he was president.
“You can’t call for a debate and say we should only talk about issues on infrastructure. 2016 we called Mahama for a debate but he didn’t respond to the call. How can a man like Nana Addo who has lived his entire life debating on critical national issues runaway from a debate but Mahama must first check himself,” Kojo Frimpong said.
John Mahama had challenged President Akufo Addo to an infrastructural debate and other issues of national concern. However, elements in the NPP have rubbished the challenge insisting the president has other important things to take care of.
Kojo Frimpong stated, “we don’t have any aversion to debate the former President. In fact we think that he doesn’t even qualify in terms of the ideas that we share today to be able to debate it. But that’s not the question, the question is what John Mahama did when he was given the opportunity. We need to explore the things he couldn’t do like cancelling the nurses allowance and not being able to bring free SHS.”
