While addressing supporters in the Ningo Prampram Constituency, Mahama implied that the president may either be "sleeping" or out of the country, as he reacted to Akufo-Addo's recent remarks on pressing national issues.
Mahama's comments were in response to Akufo-Addo's challenge for him to clarify his stance on the Free SHS policy.
The president had questioned Mahama's commitment to the programme, suggesting that Mahama's varying statements indicated a lack of trustworthiness on the matter.
Mahama, in addressing his audience, hinted that his views on Free SHS had already been made clear but suggested the president may have missed them. "When you stop sleeping, you'll hear clearly my position on Free SHS," he remarked, responding to the president's call for a definitive answer on the policy.
