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.

Whilst every body knows in Ghana that it cost only one thousand Ghana cedis to dig a bole whole ,it cost your government six thousand Ghana cedis .is that,what you want the debate for? incompetent, corrupt government.
Nana slangs...You can never win any presidential elections in this country....consider becoming the president of your NPP Followers,not the entire Ghanaians
Am urging true loving Ghanaians to vote massively for NPP to win one touch in this coming elections.lets try NPP too and see whether they can transform our dear nation for us because NDC promised us a lot but couldn't deliver.As Rawlings suppressed us and subjected us to sorrow and poverty under ndc for 19yrs and kuffuor came to rescue us,let all rally behind Npp to come back and rescue us again from the NDC who tricked us to regain power.God bless Ghana
Nana Kalipo can only win a parliamentary election and not presidential.....he can never become the president of our dear nation
John ford,bribe giver and bribe taker,incompetent,destroyer of good characters and wicked gonja man.Your time is up.Leave Akufo Addo alone ah john ford.Who can't do what you have done.Borrowing president and inflating figures.What at all do you want again.Mind you you can never impose yourself on us incompetent president john ford.You will see your real size come next Wednesday.
The IEA debate was prepared way in advance. The interviews nana granted were scheduled and he knew he was going to have them probably 6 months ago. GBC and NCCE just gerrup a couple of weeks ago (at YOUR insistence) and decided 'oh let's hold a debate on xyz day'. If you're a serious businessman you should know that that's not how things are done anywhere in the world! There will be scheduling conflicts! And by the way, have you paid Getfund scholarships abroad yet? No? See, exactly my point. You and your government are not serious and can't be taken seriously anywhere in this world!
