You’re the Only One-Term President in Ghana Because of Poor Performance – Akufo-Addo Jabs Mahama

President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has teased former president John Dramani Mahama, highlighting that the latter will remain Ghana’s only one-term President.

President Akufo-Addo during a tour of the Ahafo Region on Tuesday, October 29 2024, suggested that Mahama’s lack of a second term calls into question his performance in government.

Dr. Bawumia had earlier challenged Mahama to a debate, however, speaking to supporters in the Ningo-Prampram Constituency in Greater Accra, Mahama dismissed the idea, stating that debating Bawumia would only serve to elevate the vice president to his level.

Reacting to Mahama’s statement, President Akufo-Addo argued that the NDC flagbearer has no grounds to claim superiority over Dr. Bawumia. He explained that Mahama’s tenure as a one-term president does not place him above the vice president.

President Akufo-Addo remarked that Mahama has “no level” over Bawumia and should not avoid engaging with him on grounds of seniority.

He urged supporters in Ahafo to back Bawumia in the upcoming elections, asserting that his vice president’s leadership and contributions stand as a testament to his capacity to lead Ghana effectively.

"...One person that Ghanaians gave him one term based on his poor performance and that his Mr Mahama. So if he says he has class, it is that class, and he is the only person in that class,” the president said.
