National Democratic Congress (NDC) flagbearer John Dramani Mahama has stated that Ghanaians need an experienced hand to manage their nation.

He claims that because of his experience, the young should support him in this year’s election since they don’t want to go through the trial and error process.

“We don’t have time, Ghana does not have the luxury of time, our youth do not have the luxury of time because our youth are the future and they are also our present and they do not have the luxury to trial and error,” Mr. Mahama said on Tuesday, August 27, while speaking to the Ada Traditional Council as part of his campaign.

“This one will come and try, dump us in a ditch then the driver’s mate will come and take it and try again and go and crush us even further into the ditch.

“We need experience, we need one who has done it before, we need the licensed driver to take over the vehicle and move the vehicle towards where God has said we should be.”

Mr Mahama, has informed Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the vice president of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), that the media encounter the latter conducted on Sunday, August 25, one day after the NDC unveiled their manifesto, was done with malign intent.

Mr. Mahama believed that the purpose of the media interaction was to deflect Ghanaians’ focus away from the NDC manifesto.

He said that Dr. Bawumia’s “sudden stammering posture” during the media session exposed him.

“Just yesterday the Cedi crossed the 16 Cedi to one dollar barrier,” he declared on Tuesday, August 27, during the first day of his two-day visit to Ada as part of his Greater Accra Regional campaign. When you act with malice, it always works out in your favor. When we said that we would release our manifesto on August 24, our opponents promptly declared that they would have a media conference the next day, on August 25.

“The intention for doing that media encounter the next day after we had announced our manifesto was to get the attention of Ghanaians from the NDC manifesto, that was the main reason that they decided to do a media encounter the very next day after we launched our manifesto.

“You always end up regretting what you did with malice in your heart. You are able to detect dishonesty in others. If someone has a smooth, robotic-like speech pattern, you can tell they are lying when they start to stutter.  At a press conference, someone who had been saying “ratatatata” like AK 47 began to stammer.
