Mahama Challenges Bawumia: ‘Answer My Five Simple Questions on the Economy’
National Democratic Congress (NDC) presidential candidate, John Dramani Mahama, has publicly challenged Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia to answer five critical economic questions he recently posed, urging Bawumia to refrain from diverting the conversation with unrelated questions and calls for debate. Mahama stressed that Ghanaians deserve straightforward answers on the economy without unnecessary debate.
During a rally in Savelugu in the Northern Region on October 30, 2024, Mahama criticized Bawumia for responding to his questions with 50 unrelated questions, likening it to a child reciting newly memorized rhymes. According to Mahama, the central issue of this election is Ghana’s economic crisis, a topic that Ghanaians need clarity on rather than distractions. Drawing on history, he referenced Bill Clinton’s 1992 campaign slogan, “It’s the economy,” which prioritized the economic crisis in America at the time—a message he believes is equally relevant to Ghana today.
“I saw 50 questions thrown at me this morning, as if reciting them is meant to sidestep the core issues,” Mahama remarked, pointing out that his questions focused solely on the economy and demanded practical responses. He explained that the state of the economy has affected ordinary Ghanaians and requires specific answers, not discussions on unrelated projects like compost plants.
Mahama also noted that he previously directed two questions to President Akufo-Addo that remain unanswered. He reminded Bawumia that during his tenure, he once posed 170 questions to the then-Vice President Amissah-Arthur without agreeing to a debate and is now attempting to evade scrutiny by deflecting with unrelated points. “You don’t need a debate to answer these five questions,” Mahama asserted.
In his closing remarks, Mahama emphasized that Bawumia was brought in to fix Ghana’s economy, yet it remains in crisis. He urged him to directly address the five questions about the economic challenges facing the nation, as sidestepping these concerns only underscores the gravity of Ghana’s economic struggles.
