Former president John Mahama has sarcastically described President Akufo Addo as a dog as he advised him about how to avoid using idioms in speeches as a president in Ghana.
The immediate past flag bearer the National Democratic Congress took to Twitter to advise his successor.
He tweeted: “Lessons in Ghanaian politics- don’t use idioms in relation to yourself. They’ll stick.”
In 2015, Former President John Mahama said he had become impervious to threats of strikes and demonstrations in Ghana and will not yield to any of such threats.
Adopting what he calls a “dead-goat syndrome”, the President said he would not be hoodwinked by such strategies by workers.
“I have seen more demonstrations and strikes in my first two years. I don’t think it can get worse. It is said that when you kill a goat and you frighten it with a knife, it doesn’t fear the knife because it is dead already. “I have a dead goat syndrome,” he told a Ghanaian population in Botswana where he is on a three-day official state visit.
Yesterday, the president, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has said he is aware of attempts by his opponents to mar his fight against corruption by calling him corrupt just to tarnish his image. He said he remains resolute in the fight against corruption, determined to uphold the highest form of integrity that comes with his office and no amount of name calling will deter him.
Citing the age-old proverb while addressing a conference of Internal Auditors, the President said “I am aware that you give a dog a bad name in order to hang it, but this dog will not be hanged.”

2020 will be between the clean dog and the dead smelling goat. hahahaha e go be k3k3.
this man too he f000!l paa oo .....hahaha. and they he is an ex president of this country. how did that happen? this is something for the foot soldiers and not him. who advises this man? he even used a living goat instead of a dead one. so whats d point. by the way that dog is indeed very clean like Nana. thank God he did not use one of those dirty malnourished dogs from his hometown.
Hello Ghanaians. I think, in the picture for this article, it would rather have been appropriate if the goat is a dead one lying down with the legs up. Afterall, the dog said it would not allow itself to be hanged, meaning it is still alive.
I heard the clean dog will not be hanged? why? where have the dagabas and the frafras in the north not leaving out the ogwan kokor people (the akyims precisely) in the eastern region gone to? They will surely not spare this clean dog delicacy come 2020. So mr. clean dog, get prepared for no escape come 2020.
but the dog Mahama use for the twitter fine paa!! some rich man ing dog!!
our president says "I am a dog" that will not be hanged.infact he did not use a correct idiom at all!! super incompetence?
