Mahama, Avoid The Insults
Some of the politicians who have nothing to tell the electorate have resorted to insults instead of the issues. We call on all the political actors to focus on the issues instead of the personal attacks that is the stock-in-trade of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) flagbearer, John Mahama, who is on an impossible mission to reset the country.
It appears the NDC people have blocked their ears against the wise counsel of Pastor Adom Kyei Duah of the Second Chance fame that Ghanaians should not vote for candidates who mount the platforms to insult their political opponents. John Mahama is guilty of turning the political platforms into an insulting bout, using a word like ‘stupid.’
We have time and again warned Ghanaians to be wary of the NDC and its flagbearer, John Mahama because they have nothing good for Ghana. They behave like the kids who will catch the ball on the field and call the end to the game because things are not going well for them on the field.
Faced with the growing popularity of Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the NDC with its Minority in Parliament have to orchestrate a political crisis with Speaker Bagbin to create difficulties for the running of the daily government business.
We expect the NDC, if it has a better message for Ghanaians, to meet the New Patriotic Party (NPP) boot-for-boot and stop its wicked machinations to create chaos in the country with just about a month to the elections. It is against this background that we again challenge John Mahama and his NDC to be ready to face off with Mahamudu Bawumia at the presidential debate so that Ghanaians will be able to determine who has the better policies to take Ghana to the Promised Land.
Merely saying Mahamudu Bawumia is not his level is not enough for John Mahama to run away from the debate. If John Mahama has better alternatives to reset Ghana, then the presidential debate offers the best platform for him to articulate his vision before the people.
We can assure John Mahama that he can run but he cannot hide from the presidential debate, and more especially the 50 questions from Mahamudu Bawumia. And during that faceoff, the Vice President of the Republic will gladly respond to John Mahama’s five mere questions.
Insults are not features of a personality who has held the highest office of the land.
Children who need role models at their formative periods in their lives can definitely not pick the former President as one whose conduct is worthy of emulation.
As we inch towards the polls, the former President unless he listens to counsel and steers away from the gutter of harsh and unacceptable language, will spew more of such outright foul words. It is unfortunate, but we can only continue to admonish him to be a gentleman.
