Former President John Dramani Mahama has responded to his critics asking him to apologize over his ‘do or die’ comments that he would not apologize.
According to Mr. Mahama, the comment is an idiomatic expression, and he would not apologize.
During his ‘Thank You’ tour, John Mahama indicated that the NDC had learnt their lesson and would not allow the 2024 polls to be rigged.
“But I want to state here that the next elections would be won or lost at the polling station. So at the polling station, it will be ‘do or die’. I am not saying all die-be-die. I’m saying it will be ‘do or die’ because the right thing must be done,” he told Techiman-based Akina FM.
He has been widely condemned and asked to apologize, but Mr. Mahama says what he said was an idiomatic expression.
Speaking on Sunyani-based Moonlite FM, John Mahama insisted that the phrase was an idiomatic expression that means “a critical assignment that you have, and you must do the needful or perish.”
“What I’m saying is, NDC must not wait to go to the Supreme Court. We have to be vigilant at the polling station and collation centres. And so I don’t retract. The next election for NDC is going to be a do or die affair,” he added.
