President John Dramani Mahama has thrown an open challenge again to opposition leader, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo and his running mate Dr. Mahammudu Bawumia to a debate on the economy.
According to him, this will give Ghanaians an opportunity to know the true state of the Ghanaian economy because his main contender and his running mate have been churning out a lot of misinformation about the country’s economy.
“If we have a one-on-one debate, we will all have our statistics and our figures and Ghanaians will be able to see who is telling the truth and who is not telling the truth.”
This comes after an earlier accusation by Mr. Mahama that Nana Akufo-Addo has always been running away from a one-on-one debate with him.
However, the President in an interview on Volta Star Radio during his campaign tour of the Volta Region said: “when I threw the first challenge, I threw it because a lot of misinformation was being thrown all over the place and Nana Akufo-Addo and his running mate continue to misinform the Ghanaian public and that is why I said let us have a one-on-one debate.”
He stressed :“I believe that Ghanaians deserve a debate between myself and Nana Akufo-Addo and I hope that they will respond and rise to the occasion.”

I,D-I.O'T,who are you to call for a debate and where were you when the IEA called for one. K'W-A_S.I-A
F000lish president you decline to debate at the IEA now you are loosing you want one. Go and debate with Akua Donkor....your sponsored disqualified candidate. This president is a joke.
Debate for what? After criss-crossing the country with your Accounting To The People tour, you still think falsehood is winning over? It simply means that you haven't performed! You think throwing some roads, hospitals and schools at us will do it? Unemployment and high cost of living is the watchword!
In my candid opinion, Nana should not debate Mahama. Why debate at this time? Before he granted the interview to Ovation International, was there any invitation of the sort? President Mahama and NDC are up to something. Even they decline the IEA debate. Why Now?
Pls Mr.President am the one who's not fit to be president for now so come let's debate for Ghanaians to know we are both incompetent ok. The issues you called lies are still before you so why not just a single person from our party NDC to answer them and prove you are competent. The issues to debate is before you so what debate do you need again? If that's not done then oya this time am urging my people to vote for NPP massively this time.
NPP HAS NO TIME FOR INCOMPETENT PEOPLE. IF MAHAMA WANTS A DEBATE HE SHOULD DEBATE TERKPER ON HOW TO RE-SHAPE THE ECONOMY.
Mahama's call for a debate reminds of my primary school days. There was this boy who was taunted for running away from a fight with another boy. Everywhere he went he would be reminded that he was a coward. One day he got further up and challenged the boy he ran away from to a fight. After receiving no response, he started saying to people, they say I am a coward, now that I have challenged him, he should come out and fight me. But everybody knew that he didn't that challenge because a coward is always a coward. Childishness at the level of the presidency. What wrong have Ghanaians committed to deserve this.
MAHAMA NOW WANTS A DEBATE! WHEN YOU HAVE REALISED THAT THE ODDS ARE NOW AGAINST YOU, YOU NOW WANT TO DEBATE NANA ADDO. NANA WILL NOT HAVE TIME FOR YOU. GO TO IEA WHY HAVE YOU NOW BROUGT AHOIS, DEBRAHS, BENYIWA DOES ETC. YOU SEE THAT DISTRIBUTING OUTBOARD MOTORS, SEWING MACHINES, FRIDGES, V8S, CEDIS/DOLLARS, ETC HAVE NOT HELPED YOU. BECAREFUL NOT TO FIND YOURSELF FIGHTING AGAINST GOD. AS FOR THE "SIFAMU" YOU'LL DEFINATELY "BESI FAMU" AS FOR THE "JM TOASO" IT HAS TURNED TO "JM TWASO"
