Mahama won’t respond to Bawumia’s 170 "ravings" - Bawa-Mogtari
The National Democratic Congress’ campaign
spokesperson for the 2016 elections, Joyce
Bawa-Mogtari has stated president John Mahama will
not respond to Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia’s 170 points
he raised in his public lecture dubbed: "the True
State of the Economy."

This also goes to his vice president, Kwesi
Amissah-Arthur, she added.

Bawumia dared the presidency to officially respond
to the 170 ‘facts’ pointed out at a public
lecture he gave in September on the state of the
economy. His challenge to the presidency was in
reaction to Mr. Amissah-Arthur’s debunking of
such claims as lies.

According to the former governor of the Bank of
Ghana (BoG), Bawumia’s presentation on the
economy was shallow, lacking detailed analysis.

Speaking on Starr 103.5 FM’s Morning Starr on
Wednesday, Mrs. Bawa-Mogtari said neither the
president nor his vice will respond to Bawumia’s
"nuisance".

When Nii Arday Clegg Snr. host of the Morning
Starr posited that “Oh! It’s a nuisance?”
— she replied “absolutely, I think so. And
especially when you keep repeating that
mantra.”

She continued: “I mean, he held everybody
spellbound for two hours, delivered a very
ranting, Trump-like rhetoric of issues that I
think he should actually be explaining and
answering.”

According to her, the challenge thrown at the
presidency by Dr Bawumia is a bit of a distraction
and totally needless.

She also stated that she does not see
Amissah-Arthur debating Bawumia, submitting that
“I don’t think it is necessary — especially
if it is to do with his ranting and ravings all
this while. I think it is needless. I think he
should be telling Ghanaians what they intend to do
that’ll be better than what is being done.”

Bawumia, she added, lacks the moral right to dare
the presidency to respond to his 170 so called
factual statements from his public lecture on the
true statement of the economy after being part of
the team that nearly collapsed the country’s
economy.

“President Mahama has shown a lot of compassion.
President Mahama has demonstrated his ability to
manage this economy despite the challenges,”
said Mrs. Bawa-Mogtari
