President John Dramani Mahama says the New Patriotic Party (NPP) presidential candidate, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo is praying for a run-off in the presidential election but that will not materialise.
"I want to assure them that we want to celebrate Christmas and I am going to do it one touch so that we can focus on the Christmas. The NDC will win in the first round," he said.
President Mahama said this when he addressed teeming party supporters of the National Democratic Congress (NDC ) at a rally at Dzodze in the Ketu North District of the Volta Region on Friday.
According to the President, the NPP knew they cannot win the election that was why they were preparing the grounds to reject the result by constantly attacking the Electoral Commission (EC) and particularly the Chairperson of the Commission.
"Everyday, they say the Electoral Commission wants to steal the election for John Mahama. You think you are deceiving the people. You will pay for it," the President said to loud cheers from the huge crowd.
He urged the people of the Volta Region to reject the NPP lies that the government had neglected the region. "They are telling lies because you all know what the government has been able do to in terms of development of the region. "
He added: "What we need from the Volta Region is a massive turnout on election day. We want 99.999 percent turn out ."
Akufo-Addo run away
President Mahama jabbed Nana Akufo-Addo for "running away" from the NCCE/GBC presidential debate, only to appear on Peace FM two days later to grant a lengthy interview to the radio station.
He described the NPP leader's act as gross disrespect to Ghanaians.
President Mahama said Nana Akufo-Addo feared he (Mahama) would expose his lies that was why he run away. Again, he said, the NPP presidential candidate is bereft of ideas about governance.
“He says so many things that are wrong. So I said come and sit down and let’s have a debate so that Ghanaians will know the truth. But he run away. So after running away from the one-on-one, the NCCE gave the opportunity to all of us who want to be President to come and tell Ghanaians why we want to be President. That one was not one-on-one; so at least show respect to the Ghanaian people and come. That one too he run away," President Mahama said .
He said what Nana Akufo-Addo did was "the greatest disrespect you can show to the Ghanaian people."
He continued that as President, he should be the one to feel reluctant to go for the debate because all the others would be attacking him because they want his post
"But the leader of the opposition is rather running away, which is very strange. Even Trump with all his wild ideas had the boldness to attend the debate. This morning he (Nana Addo) rather went on Peace FM and spoke slangs. So I said if you can speak slangs then you should come to the debate and speak there,” President Mahama said.

MAHAMA IS STATING WHAT HE WISH. HE CAN ONLY SPEAK FOR HIMSELF BUT NOT FOR AKUFFO ADDO. MAHAMA IS HOPING THAT CONDITION IN THE VOLTA REGION MAY PUSH HIM TO THE SECOND ROUND AND SO HE APPEALS TO THEM. THEY ARE THE ONLY REGION THAT HE IS CASTING HIS HOPE. DEAR VOLTARIANS PLEASE DASH HIS HOPE IN YOU. THE REST OF GHANA HAS ALREADY REJECTED MAHAMA. DONT GIVE MAHAMA ANY CHANCE TO COME TO THE SECOND ROUND. IT CANNOT HELP HIM AND IT WILL BE A WASTE OF MONEY AND RESOURCES. IT WILL NOT HELP MAHAMA ANYWAY. HE WILL ONLY TARNISH YOUR REPUTATION. HE IS ALREADY A DEADD GOATT. NOTHING CAN REVIVE HIM.

Even from 2012 where you knew you'd be seeking re-election, you chose to spend our money anyhow without a care in the world. As u said sometime back Ghanaians forget easily, but this time round we've not forgotten. You talk about disrespect to Ghanaians? See who's talking... didn't u disrespect us when u decided to free 3 ndc activist just because they were doing your bidding? Or when u told us our tax moneys turn to guinea fowl had run to Burkina Faso? Or when u wasted our money on branding buses with your pictures? Don't talk about disrespect to Ghanaians, because u do it to us all the time. If we are to leave u in office, our country will be left in shambles. If u truly wanted 4 more years to govern, you'd have managed the previous term better.
Akuffo Addo will always pray for the battle is the Lord's and not for a man to determine the future. So Akuffo Addo will ask God what is His will for him. Mahama you can choose to rely on your fetish gods and mock people who genuinely pour their hearts unto God. Your doom is just days away. Stop unnecessary mocking at people who are well ahead of you in everything. You will live to see what Ghana will turn to under president Nana Akuffo Addo who God has anointed for Ghana in our time. To God be the Glory.
Keep rubbing your testicles and leave Nana alone.You can make your wischful thinking and live in foos paradise. NDC is going to meet its doom on 7th. Dec. exactly this coming wenesday under your watch, hands down.This adhoc Solutions, approaches and rush-infrastructures without policy guidelines can only impress foos but not discernig Ghanaians.
Ignore this 4year term president, he has nothing for ghanaians always talking about some one If u ve nothin to say don't say it here.
You think you are smarter than all Ghanaians ha. Since your image and credibility are fast dwindling, you want a platform to redeem yourself with your series of lies. No way. We Ghanaians will not let you have it as easy as you did in 2012 where you did not say anything substantial but you were declared the winner of the election. Now you will see how it is painful to lose power. If reincarnation really exist and you get the opportunity to be a president of a country think of the plight of the poor and desist from amassing wealth and lording over the very people who gave you power. Go and learn from Yahaya Jameh. Even Jameh has been defeated. Your biggest defeat is imminent.
