The presidential candidate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama, has taken a swipe at Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia over the latter’s call for the steer to be handed over to him.
Mr. Mahama says the presidency is not a joke and must be handed to serious-minded people to manage.
He noted that the role of the presidency is a serious responsibility that should be entrusted to capable individuals.
He said the country was facing challenges; hence, the 2024 election cannot be trivialised with jokes and comedy.
He cited what he described as the trivialization of the presidency in Dr. Bawumia’s political campaigns.
The former president indicated that the job of the president should be taken seriously, especially given the current challenges Ghanaians are facing.
“Ghanaians are in dire straits and this is not the time for comedy. This is not for a concert party about passing the mythical steer to somebody. There is no space for stale falsehoods and gas lighting. It is unimaginable the narrative by some people that they have championed everything under this government, and at the same time are not responsible for anything under the same government because they were a self-styled driver’s mate.”
“It is simply not tenable and an insult to the intelligence of the electorates and the presidency cannot be presented to those who present themselves as the future when they have been at the epicentre of our disastrous present,”he added.
