Akufo-Addo is avoiding a debate with Mahama due to his bad record - Ablakwa

MP for North Tongu constituency, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa says Akufo-Addo avoided a debate with political opponent, John Mahama due to his bad performance as president of Ghana.

According to Mr Ablakwa, the Akufo-Addo government’s touted infrastructure feat is saddled with ‘ghost projects’ and deception, causing the president to shy away from a debate.

“It can now be understood why President Akufo-Addo is running away from a debate with former President John Mahama despite the latter’s passionate appeals. When your record is defined by ghost projects and blatant deception which has resulted in a gaping trust deficit, you will obviously not present yourself to the Bukom Boxing Arena, not because that is another JM legacy but more because you need to desperately avoid a TKO from Sumaila Ndewura Jakpa’s descendant.”

Mr Ablakwa in a Facebook post  also noted that the opposition National Democratic Congress’s (NDC) yet-to-be-outdoored 2020 manifesto will be superior to the one released by the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP).

He said the NDC’s manifesto will be driven by the real needs and aspirations of Ghanaians.

 “One can therefore immediately see the wisdom of the NDC leadership when they chose to embark on a people’s manifesto which our opponents ridiculed. Clearly, you cannot get it wrong when you go to the people and engage them directly on what constitutes their needs, hopes and aspirations. Certainly, the NDC is better positioned to present a far superior manifesto on Monday. A manifesto from the people and for the people as it ought to be.”

NDC manifesto will be launched on Monday, August 31, 2020.
