My comments were honest, not insulting – Mahama replies Bawumia

The National Democratic Congress (NDC) flagbearer, John Dramani Mahama, reminded Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) that his statement that there is hypocrisy in Ghana has not offended anyone.

According to Mr. Mahama, he brought out the evident fact that Ghana is a hypocritical country.

“I said that hypocrisy is one of the things drawing our nation back and I hear my colleague or my opponent describing it as an insult. When you have done such harm to this country and you go and they praise you is not hypocrisy? When you have done harm to this country and you go and a priest is praising you, is it not hypocrisy? When you have done harm to this economy and you go and fetish priest is pouring schnapps on gods and praising you, is it not hypocrisy? If I say that have I insulted you? I haven’t insulted anybody,” he told a gathering at Shai Osodoku on Monday, September 16 as part of his campaign.

Before he spoke, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia informed him that the language being used in the campaigns leading up to the general elections in 2024 needs to be suitable.
