The flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama, has criticized Vice-President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia’s economic management.
According to Mr. Mahama, the vice president would receive a failing mark from Ghanaians.
In response to Dr. Bawumia’s recent plea to voters to choose him as president, based on his accomplishments as vice president, Mr. Mahama made the following remarks.
Mr. Mahama questioned Dr. Bawumia’s self-evaluation during a community engagement in Amanfrom as part of his Greater Accra regional campaign, arguing that his claims of accomplishment were contradicted by the economic struggles faced by Ghanaians.
“Recently, I heard the flagbearer of the NPP, the Vice-President, saying that he has performed excellently as Vice-President so they should promote him to president. And I said, I don’t know who marked his script and whether he marked it himself, but I can tell him that when it comes to his performance, the mark that the people of Ghana will give him for management of the economy is F-fail,” Mr. Mahama said.
He also emphasized that the government has to take ownership of the present economic conditions, which have gotten worse under their direction.
“They cannot escape blame for where they have landed us when it comes to the economy they failed completely and absolutely,” Mr. Mahama stated.
