A former Central Regional Minister and a leading member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Kwamena Duncan, has scoffed at the notion that former President John Dramani Mahama is planning to deliver a speech on the economy.
Reacting to Joyce Bawa Mogtari, an aide to Mahama, revealing the ex-President would address the economic challenges in the country in a speech, Duncan brushed it off.
According to him, hearing Mahama speak on the economy is akin to hearing a pr*stitute give anyone lessons on chastity.
“This is like a world-acclaimed pr*stitute self-electing to give high moral lessons on chastity,” he stated.
“His intention is that I am going to ride on this crisis and to sweet-talk the Ghanaian people. I have said and I’ll repeat it any day any time that he cannot, the former President, cannot be an alternative . . . We lived under his governance for eight years . . . he cannot be an alternative in spite of the challenges”, he said on Peace FM’s “Kokrokoo” programme.
Earlier, Bawa Mogtari tweeted about the ex-President’s upcoming address.
“John Mahama speaks on Ghana’s collapsed economy and the unprecedented hardships sweeping across the land and the way forward on Thursday 27th October at 7pm,” she tweeted.
