Nkonkonsa Celebrity Gossip From Africa
Flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Mahama, says Ghana’s “vehicle” cannot be handed over to a mate whose driver has failed to drive properly.
This is his figurative response to the flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr Mahamudu Bawumia.
While delivering a speech on February 7, the Vice President called on Ghanaians to vote for him as the next President to give him the mandate to implement policies that will grow the country.
The Vice President urged Ghanaians to elect him as the next President in order to give him the authority to enact policies that will advance the nation during a speech on February 7.
“As Vice-President, I am like a driver’s mate. But if, by the Grace of God, you make me President, I will be in the driver’s seat with constitutionally mandated authority to pursue my vision and my priorities,” Dr Bawumia said.
However, John Mahama asserts that if the driver of the car consistently disobeys traffic laws and is unable to read simple road signs, the passenger, who is supposed to learn to drive from the driver, would pick up on these habits.
Speaking on March 8, he emphasized that the companion will drive like his boss during a town hall gathering at Bussie in the Upper West Region.
“And so on 7th December, the driver is going and if the driver hasn’t driven properly these seven years. We are not going to hand over the car to the driver’s mate. If even the driver couldn’t drive well, how much less the driver’s mate?” he quizzed.
The former President further emphasised, “We all know what we’ve gone through these past seven and half years. The opportunity has come for us to rescue our nation from the incompetence and inept clueless administration of Nana Akufo-Addo and his driver’s mate”.
John Mahama advised that his experience as a former driver should be preferred over that of a poorly-trained driver’s mate.
“So I leave you with one final question. If you have a car and the driver didn’t drive well and you are taking your car, will you give it to your former experienced driver or the careless driver’s mate? I will give it to the former experienced driver”, he answered.
