Vice President, Dr. Mahamadu Bawumia, says it will be suicidal for Ghanaians to hand over the administration of the country back to former President, John Dramani Mahama.
Dr. Bawumia says the living conditions of Ghanaians will be worse off if John Mahama and the NDC return to office.
Former President John Dramani Mahama, who is on a campaign tour across the country to reclaim the NDC ticket for the 2020 election, has accused government of poor economic management.
He accused the NPP of lying its way to power and failing to deliver on its audacious promises including one district one factory, one constituency one million dollars, one village one dam among others.He specifically took a swipe at Dr. Bawumia, saying he was only good at giving lectures on the economy whiles they were in opposition, but he’s struggling to manage same now that they are in power.
But speaking at a meeting with Metropolitan, Municipal and District Chief Executives (MMDCEs) in Accra, Dr. Bawumia said the best way for the NPP to prevent the NDC from returning to power is to drum home the achievements of the NPP within these few months in office.
“I hear the incompetent one says he wants to come back. He wants to come and do more damage. As if he didn’t do enough damage? Well, we are waiting for him. You have to remember what happened when we came to office. After many years of incompetent economic management, you cannot describe it any other than incompetent economic management.”
“After many years of such economic management, the people of Ghana gave us the privilege to change course, but after just 20 months in office, the difference is clear. There is a big difference, if you look at the macroeconomic indicators, and they don’t like looking at it because it makes them look bad. It exposes their incompetence,” Dr. Bawumia added.
‘Ghana needs experienced hands, not economics lecturers’ – Mahama
John Mahama had earlier taken a jab at Bawumia over the current economic challenges, saying Ghana needs an experienced persons and not ‘economics lecturers’ who merely engage in theories.
While addressing delegates of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) at Tatale last week, Mahama said experienced persons will better understand the situation and manage it in a way that will bring about stability rather than “economic lecturers who are just theorists.”
“You can do all the propaganda you like to win political power, when you come to government; the reality of the people’s life will expose you,” he said.

The way people are now seeing barwumia in Ghana it would be suicidal for our party to present him against mahama should nana addo decide not to contest again. People now see him as liar and very dishonest. Alan would be a best candidate to face mahama. Alan is not a vice president yet you hardly see him engaging in lies and frivolities. Barwumia must be serious if he wants to succeed nana addo. He displays so much immaturity like John mahama himself.
THIS VEEP IS A MO.RON. THE POI.SON EFFECT STILL IN HIS BLOOD
It's only the uninformed , illiterate and the ***barred word*** that will believe the NDC LIES.NPP is working hard to clean the mess caused the the incompetent and ***barred word***.
Dr Bawumia, you mouth is too 'big'. And you still continue in your liars. Please fix the economy you trumpeted whiles in opposition and stop these senseless statements. For what is good for the goose is equally good for the gander. The same measure you measured the previous administration, the same measure be used against you.
Bawumia please stop this childish comments. Wake up from your slumber. You are becoming the weakest link of nana's government. The cedi is on rampage. Get the IGP to arrest it now! Cement price is now 36 and 37 cedis in some places. Meanwhile under JDM and his NDC it remained at 29 and 20 cedis for three years Don't disgrace yourself. The examiners are marking your scripts. We have already given mahama his grade. If you don/t take care you will score worst grade than mahama
Barwumia is very stubborn. You have lied so much about mahama and collapsed to be flown to UK for medical treatment, yet you are still saying he is incompetent. Next time you not end up in UK, you may end up having conference with ackaah, aliu mahama and paa kwesi amissah Arthur. Don't joke with mahama oooooo! Nana addo nearly fell down from the sky last week, so keep playing with John mahama. You should see Owusu bempah for purification.
BAWUMIA SHOULD BETTER STOP THE ***barred word***. IF YOU HAVE ANY BRAIN FIX THE ECONOMIC. IN OPPOSITION YOU SPOKE AS IF YOU HAVE THE COMPETENCE TO TURN THE ECONOMIC AROUND BUT WHAT DO WE SEE NOW, IS THE ECONOMIC NOT THREE TIMES WORST THAN WHAT YOU MET? WHAT MY INCOME COULD FOR ME THE MONTH NOW DOES SO IN ONE WEEK. I MEAN ONE WEEK AND HEAR ME WELL AGAIN, ONLY ONE WEEK. ***barred word*** THE HIGHEST ORDER.
waaaah. see what this SUPER IN-COMPETENT & IN-CAPABLE one too is saying
Ghana dey bi haaaaaahaaaa incompetent and super incompetent
This 5hameless man has the guts to refer to Mahama as incompetent again? He should bow his head in shame. Look at someone who is referring to economic indicators as a sign of good governance. Where did he get those economic figures? From Gana Statistiical Serves, I guess. Since when did Bawumia start to figures produced by GSS. His credibility has already damaged so Ghanaians don’t take him serious. 5hame onto him
