- Bawumia's media event was scheduled to divert attention from the NDC's manifesto
- "Bawumia’s stammering revealed his dishonesty during the encounter"
- Mahama believes that Bawumia’s attempt to overshadow the NDC’s launch ultimately failed
John Dramani Mahama, the presidential candidate for the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has accused Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) of having a deceptive motive behind his media appearance on Sunday, August 25—one day after the NDC unveiled their manifesto.
Mahama believes that Bawumia’s unexpected stammering during the media session revealed his underlying deceit.
“Just yesterday the Cedi crossed the 16 Cedi to one dollar barrier. When you do something with a devious intention it backfires on you, we announced we were going to launch our manifesto on the 24th of August, immediately our opponents announced that they were going to do a media encounter on the 25th of August, the very next day.
“The intention for doing that media encounter the next day after we had announced our manifesto was to get the attention of Ghanaians from the NDC manifesto, that was the main reason that they decided to do a media encounter the very next day after we launched our manifesto.
“When you do something with devious intentions, it backfires on you. You know how to tell if people are lying if there are people who are smooth talkers who can speak like machine guns, the time when they become stammerers you know they are lying. somebody who has been ‘tatatatata’ like AK47 suddenly media encounter starts stammering.
