Nkonkonsa Celebrity Gossip From Africa
Former President John Dramani Mahama has commented on a recent verbal slip by President Akufo-Addo, which has garnered significant attention.
At a public event, the President inadvertently referred to Mahama instead of Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, a mistake that has generated discussion, especially as it coincided with a similar error by Bernard Antwi Boasiako, also known as Chairman Wontumi, the Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
Speaking at a Youth Forum organised by the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in Ho on Tuesday, Mahama suggested that the President’s blunder might be revealing.
“Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks, and so when the President goes and he’s talking about his administration and he says Akufo-Addo/Mahama administration, this is unpardonable,” Mahama remarked, adding with a touch of humour, “It means he dreamt about me the night before. And it’s not only him, even his Ashanti chairman.”
Mahama seized the moment to imply that these verbal slips could be inadvertent endorsements from his political rivals. He urged voters to take note of these signals as the general elections on 7 December draw near.
“We can read their minds from what they are thinking and what they are dreaming about. The time has come for us to take our destiny into our own hands,” he added, encouraging his supporters.
