Speaking in Sangban in the Tatale-Sanguli Constituency of the Northern region on Friday, Dr. Bawumia said, “The President says he likes evidence, the evidence however shows that since his tenure as President from 2012 to 2016, he has been the worst performing President in terms of Ghana’s economy, that is the evidence, as I showed in my recent lecture”.
Dr. Bawumia advised the President to try debating the people of Ghana in various sectors as the people are in the best position to tell him how his governance has impacted on their lives.
“Today John Mahama says he wants a debate on the economy. Now I want to challenge him to come to Sangban and debate with the people of Sangban on the economy; he should tell the people of Sangban, what he has done for them in the last 8 years – 4 years as Vice-President and 4 years as President. He should tell the people of Northern Ghana what he did with the SADA money; he should go and debate with businesses that have collapsed because of Dumsor; he should debate with farmers who cannot buy fertilizers because of his policies. He should go and debate with businessmen who cannot access loans because of high interest rates”, he stated.
