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.

So says the IMPOTENT CLOWN.Funny, you are just a ***barred word*** in the ***barred word*** farm government , nothing more. Yaw Osafo Marfo is even more relevant than you as a Senior Minister. You are not relevant, no one takes you serious anymore. Politics is a serious business but you no, you just keep on jesting and making mockery of yourself. You cannot compare yourself to Mahama on any day, no not one. At least he stood for elections and won as a President. From and assembly man, MP,Deputy minister, minister, Vice President then on to a President. If you as a clown have the guts, start campaigning for the presidential slot when Nana leaves the scene let's see. JOKER .......
YES he wants to, bcos you and your boss are matching him boots for boots, seriously challenging him for the incompetent title. Bawumia and his boss have now surpass Mahama in incompetency. instead sound economic practises what we gave is borrowmia. Keep quiet. we know you are sleeping on the job
Former President Mahama Told Ghanaians IN THE RUN UP TO THE 2016 ELECTIONS that the then candidate Bawumia had never been close to the Presidency before therefore he cannot call him incompetent. Now he is the sitting vice President and has seen the immeasurable mess Mr Mahama bequeathed to his administration such as the Banking sector horror, crude oil and Gas debt to Nigeria and Ivory Coast, cancellation of allowances of teacher and Nursing Trainees', Komenda sugar factory deceit etc, therefore now he can call you the 'THE INCOMPETENT ONE'
You talk too much. Do some work. Interesting times. I loved the free SHS so much when nana addo announced it, but i never expected it to face so much problems. Yes, problems are in inevitable in every new project or policy being introduced, however i think nana addo rushed the program. You can't just take over power and all of a sudden without wide stakeholder consultation and discussion go ahead and introduce such a very important policy. At least the third year of your tenure could have made the free SHS the best. This is because you could have spoken to a lot of educational experts, could have built enough building in three years, could have trained enough teachers and could have eliminated virtually all major bottlenecks, then students would enjoy the free SHS and you will get you votes as you wish. As it is now parents are speaking against it because some of them are paying for hostels as well as extra classes for their wards. Others are moving their students to private schools and paying huge sums of money because of fear of poor quality and outbreak of diseases. Most first year students are not fed good food because they don't pay and as a result these students are likely to vote against npp in the next election. Though npp introduced this for votes it is certain the problems of free SHS would rather make them lose votes. I don't blame nana addo, i blame NAPO, EDUTWUM AND BARWUMIA. They are the cause of this problems, they should have exercised some restraint before implementation.
Mr. Vice president, please the campaign is over fix the ploblems facing the coumtry
