"Ghanaians want my experienced hands, not your inexperienced ones" – Mahama jabs Bawumia

The National Democratic Congress (NDC) flagbearer, John Dramani Mahama, has criticized Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia for urging Ghanaians to vote for him in the 2024 general elections.

Speaking at the NDC campaign launch in Tamale on Saturday, July 27, Mahama emphasized that the youth cannot spare another four years trying out Dr. Bawumia's unproven leadership.

He stated that the country's youth require experienced and effective leadership to generate opportunities and drive progress.

The former president critiqued Dr. Bawumia for his role in the present government, which he claimed has mismanaged the economy.

He highlighted Ghanaians' economic issues under the current administration, attributing them to ineffective leadership and decision-making. Furthermore, the former President remarked that Dr. Bawumia does not deserve the opportunity to govern the country based on his past record.

He advised voters to study the candidates' track records and make an informed decision that benefits the nation. Mr Mahama stated that the youth are clamouring for an experienced hand to offer genuine possibilities for them, meaning that his own leadership would better serve the country's future.

"On December 7, Ghana must change course, we cannot solve the crisis in which we are with the same people who caused the problem. Several years ago, somebody [President Akufo-Addo] came and said try me, the result is what we’re seeing today. Today, another person [Dr Bawumia] has come and he’s also saying try me.

"And he’s saying the same things the one who has put us in this ditch said eight years ago. And what they are saying is that if they don’t deliver after four years, change me.

“The youth of this country don’t have four years to waste. The youth of this country are in a hurry to create the opportunities that will make them live a dignified life. They are not going to try somebody and four years take him off. The youth want an experienced hand," he jabbed.
