The flagbearer of the opposition, National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama has asked the vice president, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia to answer the five questions he asked him and and stop his useless 50 questions.
The former president said Ghanaians are demanding answers to the following questions from Dr. Bawumia: Why is the exchange rate now GH¢17 to the dollar? Why has Ghana’s debt increased from GH¢120 billion to GH¢767 billion in the past eight years? Why has inflation risen to 54% under the current administration? Why has the government borrowed GH¢42 billion from the Bank of Ghana? Why is he running away from the economy and focusing on digitalisation?
Responding to these questions, Dr. Bawumia also asked Mr. Mahama 50 questions.
But speaking at a rally in the Savelugu Constituency, Mr. Mahama the 2024 election is about the economy not Dr. Bawumia’s useless 50 questions.
“I woke up this morning and saw 50 questions. It looks like our Vice President has just learnt those things in the 50 questions like we used to learn music in basic school. Because I asked you five simple questions about the economy. That is all, simple questions that Ghanaians want you to answer, you go and respond with, ‘How many compost plants did you build?’ How many did you build? That’s not the issue in Ghana today.” He stated.
“In 1992 there was an election in America, it was between Bill Clinton and George Bush senior. At that time, the American economy was in recession, the way the Ghanaian economy is in crisis today. And people were talking about Immigration and useless things. ” Mahama added.
“You know what the Clinton people said, it is the economy, stupid!” Today, I am repeating those words. This election is about the economy, Stupid. It is not about all those useless things who built how many compost plants, answer the 5 questions.”
