Flagbearer for the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama has hit back at his main contender, the flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, stating that Ghana needs a licensed driver to take over the vehicle.
Dr Bawumia during his media engagement said he had never been a President before unlike his opponent and that the electorate should vote for him instead.
However, during a community engagement as part of his Greater Accra regional campaign, Mahama slammed Bawumia and the NPP over what he described as a “failed attempt” to turn the attention of Ghanaians from the NDC’s manifesto launch by engaging the media a day after the launch.
Mahama accused the NPP flagbearer of being dishonest in his encounter with the media.
“Our youth do not have the luxury of time. Because our youth are the future and they are also present. They don’t have the luxury of trial and error, this one will come and try, dump us in the ditch and the driver’s mate will come and take it and try again and crash us even further into the ditch.
“We need experience, we need someone who has done it before. We need a licensed driver to take over the vehicle and move the vehicle to where God has destined,” he stated.
