2020 Polls: Akufo-Addo likely to die soon, vote him out – Mahama

Former President John Dramani Mahama has once again spark another controversy on social media in his quest of asking for a second term in office as the 2020 general election approaches. 

Speaking to Chiefs in the Upper West Region, Mahama said it won’t make sense for Ghanaians to vote another four years for the Akufo-Addo government because he (Akufo-Addo) as the head is likely to die early and burden the country with debt.

“The age of Akufo-Addo is shorter than all you young people. If you go to the market you see a small goatskin and you see an old goatskin. Young people can die I agree but If the natural order is to be maintained, somebody who is 20 years old here is going to live maybe the next fifty years.

“I at my age I’m going to live shorter life, Nana Akufo-Addo is going to live shorter because at his age in the natural order of things if everybody is going according to his age, he has a shorter time. No, I’m making a point that that debt he’s not going to pay it” he said.

Meanwhile, ahead of the NDC manifesto launch Monday, Mr Mahama in another written piece said “I run for President because I want to leave a legacy: a solid infrastructure, with 100% access for all. With this legacy, we will build a truly developed Ghana, on a par with the advanced nations.

“I know how to do it, part of it I’ve already accomplished, and since I know how to do it and the current government doesn’t, I feel I have the moral duty to ask for a second term. This is not about me, it’s about Ghana and Ghanaians”.
