Flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Mahama has replied Vice President, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia for labelling him as second hand, while urging Ghanaians to vote for a brand new President on December 7.
The former President referencing second hand vehicles stated they have proven to be of quality and therefore accepts the tag.
Mr Mahama was speaking to residents of Sene East in the Bono region as part of his tour.
“They say we need a ‘tear-rubber’ president, meaning a new one. If they describe me as a ‘second-hand’ president or something old, I accept. Because old things have more experience than new ones. Experience matters, and I have it,” he said.
The flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), during a community engagement in the Ofoase-Ayirebi constituency of the Eastern Region urged Ghanaians to vote for a “brand new, tear-rubber President” with fresh ideas to address the nation’s challenges by choosing the NPP in the upcoming elections.
Dr. Bawumia characterized a vote for Mr Mahama as a choice for a “second-hand, failed President.”
But Mr Mahama charged Ghanaians to reflect on his government’s performance and compare to this regime in deciding who to elect President.
“What I’m saying is, why should we allow someone who is part of the current government, which is ruining our country’s democracy, to lead again? We need someone different from this government to lead the country,” he added.
