Presidential Candidate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama has told his counterpart of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia that he does not need a debate to answer the five questions Mr Mahama asked him."I woke up this morning and saw 50 questions to me but It looks like the Vice President has just learned those things in his 50 questions like the way we learned rhymes because I asked you five simple questions on the economy, that's all, simple questions Ghanaians want you to answer and you go to respond with how many composite plants did you build, how many this did you build but that is not the issue in Ghana today.
Let me take you down memory lane, in 1992 there was the election in America, it was between Bill Clinton and George Bush Senior, at that time the American economy was in recession the way the Ghanaian economy is in crisis today, and people were talking about immigration and all kinds of useless things, you know what the Clinton people said, it's about the economy.
Today I am repeating those words, this election is about the economy stupid, it's not about all those other useless things about who built how many compost plants.
Answer the five simple questions," he said.He added "You can hide behind a debate, you don't need a debate to answer the five questions, when you asked Ammisah Authur 170 questions you didn't agree to go debate for him to answer them .
