You are not being realistic it's a waste of time is the President hurting that is why he now want a debate. It's a dead end. He rather go ahead and concentrate on his failed campaigning to the people. He is not a coward .He is putting his message across. This is the same thing your Founder did to Appiah Minka' s factory, please stop your nonsense and leave Nana Addo alone.

How can people be so stupid. You were given the opportunity by IEA but you turned it down. Tell Ghanaians what has changed. You think things can be done at your whims, you fools, including your incompetent jdm.

John Tagoe, in your haste to prove a non-existent point you have bared your ignorance and coarse upbringing. The president may be the NDC's candidate but he has never mentioned anywhere that he won't debate AA. Nor has he said that this proposed debate be one organised by the IEA only.
Having made that point, it is instructive to note that AA himself has spurned several offers by the IEA to appear on its platform even when the opportunity has been tailor-made to suit AA's whims and capricious demands.
The NDC has been clear: the IEA does not possess the integrity and proven neutrality to convene a credible debate. While this may be debatable, they have been emphatic they will not attend any of its presidential forums. And they haven't.
We have heard no such thing from AA and the NPP; they have not honoured any of several IEA invitations nor have they told us why, especially when these events have been rescheduled at AA's and NPP's whim.
It would appear that there's a calculated attempt at worst to discredit JM without basis and at best to put him out as indecisive. But the facts turn all of that on its head. Emotional outbursts like yours only weaken the AA argument and portray his support base as unprincipled and merely opprtunistic. This is a dangerous path to walk because it blinds one to reality and builds delusions of hotair balloon proportions and we all know what that accomplished during the last two elections for AA.
As debates go they may not have much of an impact on the people who decide elections in this town but you would assume that the opposition would be loath to let a debate opportunity slip by especially where they are so confident of whipping the status quo and consider the ruling government on the defensive.
That they have attacked JM's person instead of welcoming the challenge is in itself a clear indication of misplaced priorities or abysmal ignorance from AA's camp. History has never favoured those make the same mistake over and over again and yet expect a magical turnaround in their fortunes. I wish AA and you John Tagoe well but I must also insist that you use both your God-given brains when you speak and allow a modicum of decorum in your public pronouncements.

Mahama only now have come to know most Ghanaians have known long before,that he will loose the up coming December 7th election. This debate he is now calling for,he thinks might help him,but he is wrong.
They people have accepted that Mahama is incompetent and corrupt and will vote to bring him and the NDC down.
The Ghanaian populace have accepted that only a change of government will help salvage the economy.
Defeat is staring Mahama in the face.

Daily Graphic (21/10/2016). Mahama claims that he is suffering from Campaign Stress. What has gone wrong for the so called Young Man (who Ovation portrays as having the energy and ability to grant them interview at 12:30 a.m) to openly say he is having campaign stress. Clearly, Ovation ad NDC are spinning propaganda relating to Mahatma's energy level. He isvweak , indecisive and grossly incompetent.

Traditional Satanism is not simply an inversion, but a complete rejection of the images of a
0244908520particular culture, religion, or philosophy. From there a Satanist uses those images against the ethos itself, that was once his own conditioning. Persons who participate in traditional Satanic masses sometimes experience a king of 'sartori', a sudden enlightenment, to an increase in their own consciousness, and feeling stronger and satisfied because they had broken with the constraining opposites. In other words, at its highest level Satanism uncovers what the ethos of a particular community or society has covered up through images, dogma, words and ideas, returning the individual to the primal chaos out of which 'opposites' were created." ~ Magister Hagur, Temple of Atazoth Office

Face fact, Nana Addo cannot debate JDM under any circumstance. Nana and the NPP will only find excuse to run away from the debate challenge. The only person to squarely face JDM is Bawumia. Too bad Bawumia is only a vice-candidate and cannot debate JDM. So let the truth be told, Nana is no match for JFM.

Is Mahama serious!. The incumbent cannot request or have a Presidential debate at his will,just b'cos a political opponent "peddled untruths" somewhere.No.A presidential election debate should involved all 4 Political Party's whose nomination is Certified by the EC.And,Topic should include or cover but not limited to:(1),The State of Economic & Financial Affairs and where the Country is heading to.eg (borrowing) (2),Taxation plan and why a Head Porter(kayaye)should not be Taxed or must be Taxed. (3),Job Creation,(4)Health Care,(5),Education,(6),Services(electricity & water),(7),Agriculture Development plan.(8),Housing,(9),The Sub Region- ECOWAS,(10),And how all these plans,
if any, would be paid for,to help the electorate decide which of the aspirants to vote for.Then we are coming! But one cannot have a debate b'cos an opponent lied somewhere that does not call for a debate.It's the responsibility of the many Communicators you employ to respond.And the uses of the print Media.Is Mahama serious!.

Kweku, your argument is below the belt. Now that president Mahama have seen the importance of one on one debate we should all support it. this gives us, the undecided voters an opportunity to make informed choices. what is your problem if initially he declined and now he is for it. i think Nana should accept it, rather than refuse and being complacent. this is an opportunity. Nana, don't miss it because if you do your opponents would use it against you.

I'm not a fun of Manama but I cannot buy Kwaku's argument. It's Bawumia who is going round crying foul about the economy with half truth (from my opinion) calling the president 'names' but could never call for a debate with the finance minister. If the NPP believes in what they have been telling Ghanaian is indeed the case, they should rather be calling for this debate. They didn't. The President has given them such an opportunity on two occasions to defend his positions on face to face. And Kwaku thinks he is wrong? Please! We all heard Asiedu Nketia, the Prwsident contradicting him means Asiedu was wrong. What is holding Akuffu Addo back? Come on! Because NDC declined IEA's invitation? Did Akuffo Addo honoured that invitation? At least, the NDC gave a reason even if it was not a good reason. The President has called for it contradicting Asiedu Nketia and i'm sure if Nana responds in affirmative, there are a lot of media houses which would be more than willing to organize it else the NPP is running away from what they telling Ghanaians. Any other explanation to decline this opportunity is a spin, period.

This is very bad behaviour towards a sitting president after all what kind of service nana gona give to Ghanaian that the president hasn't done.

The reason some people dislike the president is simply because he hails from the north.

Whatever npp as a party can offer Ghanaian, any other party can also offer the same services therefore npp should stop making noise that they are the only party which can build a properuosmall Ghana.
