Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, Vice President of the Republic, has taken a swipe at the presidential candidate of the National Democratic Congress, John Dramani Mahama, over the latter's "honeymoon" statement.
Ex-President John Dramani Mahama, addressing a gathering at a 'Campus Connect' event in Hohoe in the Volta Region, requested to go on a honeymoon if elected President in the December 7 elections.
He explained his reason for the honeymoon saying it is to give him a grace period to put the economy in order because, to him, the New Patriotic Party administration under the leadership of President Nana Akufo-Addo has collapsed it.
“And you will realize the harm that the NPP administration has done to Ghana’s economy. This country is broke, and so we will beg you that when we come into office give us a bit of a honeymoon, let’s put things in place so that we bring the economy back onto its feet", he said.
Delivering a speech today, February 7, on his vision for Ghana, the flagbearer of the ruling New Patriotic Party, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia noted that he does not need time to cool off but rather ready to work.
According to him, he is an active person with transformative ideas to push the country forward, hence appealing to Ghanaians to give him the opportunity to serve them.
"I will not ask for a honeymoon to cool off and think about what to do. I am prepared and ready to work if you give me the opportunity. You know what I stand for. You know my vision; my vision about your mission. I believe in the ingenuity of the Ghanaian", Dr. Bawumia shaded Mahama.

@ Mensah! Can you trust JDM? JDM has been a president before and Ghanaians saw what he did. Bawumia on the other had has not been a President before. Decisions are taken and implemented by the president. The vice can give advice and if he likes he can take and use it and on the other hand he can decide not to and the vice cannot do anything about it. So if you want to judge his performance base it on the Vice Presidency. Bawumia as a vice has done far far better than JDM when he was the Vice and transmogrified into a president. It's a fact and record shows
you already stealing money left, right and centre, so how will you ask for honeymoon flip flop lair a thon man
@Mensah I will trust Bawumia than Mahama who has been campaigning since 2020 but his main policy is for the economy to run down so he can become president.
Can you trust this Flip and Flop bloody liar, Dr.Liarmia. Your silence was loud and deep when E levy debates rages in Mother Ghana in 2021. After intensive education about ills of the E Levy and allow Ghanaian and businesses to go through intensive hardship because u do need and care about them, u now have courage to tell Ghanaian that until Ghanaian vote for You , government cannot remove E levy. Get serious and wake up from u slumber. You are still the Vice President and also Head of Eçonomic mismanagement Team. Enough of TRICKNOMIST. GOVERNANCE is not about experimentation
