During his tour of the Greater Accra Region on Thursday, October 17, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Presidential Candidate John Dramani Mahama took a direct jab at President Nana Akufo-Addo.

Speaking to supporters in the Ningo Prampram Constituency, Mahama suggested that the president might be "sleeping" or absent from the country, as he responded to recent comments made by Akufo-Addo on pertinent national issues.

Mr Mahama's remarks came in response to President Akufo-Addo's challenge for him to clarify his stance on the Free Senior High School (Free SHS) policy.
