The 2016 Presidential candidate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has accepted a challenge thrown to him by President John Mahama for a public debate on 'contentious' national issues.

President Mahama during an interview with TV3 on Monday, challenged Nana Addo to a debate indicating that the NPP flagbearer raised some 'contentious' issues in recent times on how he (Mahama) is managing the affairs of the country.

"I am willing to debate Nana Akufo-Addo any day, even if you call him today, we will put it here...I don’t have a problem with debating Nana...Indeed he (Nana Addo) has made a lot of contentious statements i would have wished that you had him here so we debate on those issues," President Mahama said.

Reacting to the Mahama’s comments on his Twitter handle, Akufo-Addo said:

 “Will @ JDMahama debating me solve #Ghana’s problems? If so then I am ready to debate him anytime, anywhere and any day.”
