Common sense. We are therefore to understand now that, whatever is coming from Nana Akuffo Addo needs not to be taken serious. He might be polluting us.

Nana cannot accept the debate from the president because it will be like falling on your own sword. All the lies Nana peddled about the economy and the so called one district one factory mantra will all fall like a pack of cards because he cannot back them up with any sensible economic theory to prove those political rhetorics. Remember Nana sold all his family property to do politics and the siblings are dead on him to replace same. Nana snubber one objective to be president is use that office to pour back all the lost family wealth may be hundred fold. With greedy and very dishonest and evil characters like Freddie Blay by him that is no problem.

What has NPP to hide if they claim they are truthful? Mahama needs to keep hitting the nail on the head and expose Nana Ado. Any reason person should now know that Nana is liar. He is running away from reality.

The Vice President said he will teach Bawumia economics 101 but we are yet to hear any cogent response to Bawumia's 170 questions and the President is talking about debate.

Who will take this streets economist Bawumia seriously? why must NDC answer to a baby and a liar who is yet to provide evident to his claim of Togo register? Bawumia liar who went to court to swear with the Holly Quran only to turn back and say "you and I were not there". Mahama want a truthful and a real debate with Nana and Nana must accept the challenge.

Mahama run like peeeeeeeooooowwwwwwww from a one-on-one debate about 2 or 3 months ago when an institution with a very long tradition and track record of organizing debates in this country invited him, and has been running ever since. Indeed, war actually broke out in the NDC party and gov't when the IEA came out with it's timetable and how it was going to be done, the very one-on-one incompetent Mahama is now calling for. At the time Hanna Tetteh who it was revealed assented to the modalities of the debate was on the instructions of Mahama, publicly excoriated and threatened in their NDC party in this country. We are not making this up. The record is there. So what is now pushing desperate losing John Dramani Mahama at this time?
Mahama can begin to show he is serious about the issues and attempt to answer, of the 170 issues tabled before him by Ghanaians through Dr. Bawumia, just 5.
The reality is Mahama is incapable of addressing one, and has not even been able to answer one, just one of this issues.
So one does not get what Mahama means by a one-on-one debate. Just answer the issues. It has been more than a month and looming large like Mahama's hefty loss. That is the debate. Mahama must address the 170 issues now!!!

Nana Akomea, you and the NPP know fully well that Nana Akufo-Addo is no match for President Mahama in any debate and that's the only reason why you won't give Ghanaians the opportunity to watch the two politicians debate the critical issues facing the country. Of course, you prefer that debate that was to be organised by the IEA because they're biased in favour of your party and as such you expected them to manipulate the event to work against the President and the other candidates and their parties while working in your candidate and party's favour.

The second reason you and your party don't want a debate by the two men is that you want to shield your candidate from answering some critical questions that he has so far failed to answer, the most important being those related to his educational background. Specifically, Akufo-Addo has been mute on the subject of where he trained as a lawyer and why there's a gap in his curriculum vitae. You and your party are quite scared that President Mahama might raise that kind of issue in a debate with your candidate and so you're doing everything to avoid the President.

In a nutshell, Akufo-Addo has a number of critical questions to answer, especially those related to his alleged corrupt activities when he served in the Kufuor-led administration during the first decade of the 2000s.

The following is a list of some of the corruption allegations I recently raised on this forum and asked him to answer. He will do well to answer them because we the electorate have the right to know the backgrounds of every candidate who's running to become president of our country. The ball is in Akufo-Addo's court.

1. Like former President Kufuor, you claim to be a lawyer, but you've so far failed to tell Ghanaians where precisely you earned your law certificate. We do know that you were kicked out of the University of Oxford and that you returned home and entered the University of Ghana where you earned a mere 3rd class degree in economics. You said your law certificate is missing, but are there not legal ways and means of getting a replacement of your certificate if you did in fact earn it but lose the original? And if you trained at the Middle Temple, how did you gain admission to that reputable institution, since its requirement is that candidates seeking admission must have obtained a minimum of a 2nd Class Upper Division degree and yet you obtained a mere 3rd Class B.Sc. (Econ.).

2. As Attorney-General & Minister of Justice in the Kufuor administration, you oversaw the de-confiscation of your cousin Raymond Amankwah, a noted world cocaine baron's frozen assets and returned them to him. This Amankwah was arrested in Brazil for cocaine trafficking. By de-confiscating and returning his frozen properties to him, you Akufo-Addo enabled him to get away scott-free.

3. As Attorney-General, you in 2001 suddenly discontinued prosecuting one Frank Benneh for drug trafficking, a case that the then NDC's Deputy Attorney-General Mr. Martin Amidu, had started prosecuting vigorously.

4. As Attorney-General, you failed willfully to prosecute three NPP Dzorwulu branch drug queens who had been arrested in February 2002 at the Kotoka International Airport for attempting to export cocaine outside the country. Not only did the case vanish into thin air, but their dockets also mysteriously disappeared from your office.

5. Unlike any other NPP (or their antecedents of UP or Progress Party) leader or potential leader, you Akufo-addo alone have been accused of drug addiction. Why so?

6. As Minister of Foreign Affairs, you issued at least 12 diplomatic passports (which actually were alleged to be missing) to your cronies. In fact, one of those passports was found with a Ghanaian cocaine deader who was arrested in Singapore.

7. The GNPC drill ship saga also hangs around your neck. What happened to the rest of the money from the sale of the ship? Remember, this case was mentioned against you in the Auditor-General's report. You're accused of having caused financial loss to the state.

8. And when the history of the Fourth Republic is written, it will be indicated that it was the Kufuor's NPP administration that turned Ghana into a cocaine hub in the West African sub-region and that you Akufo-Addo were a key player in that administration.

9. Indeed, as a parliamentarian, you Akufo-Addo pushed hard for a law, dubbed "Amoateng Bill", to be promulgated to essentially permit Ghanaian drug offenders jailed in Thailand to be returned to Ghana to serve the rest of their terms. What was your motive?

10. As Foreign Minister during the Kufuor administration, your Ministry withdrew US$1,446,396.00 from its Special Collections Accounts of seven embassies without the prior knowledge and consent of the Controller and Account-General. Also, an amount of US$106,168.00 was misappropriated at the Ghana mission in Cote d'Ivoire.

The above are among the pertinent corruption allegations against you Nana Akufo-Addo that you must address. You can't merely ignore them and pretend that you're uncorrupt and incorruptible and so ask us the electorate to vote foryou to become president of this dear country of ours. Which country is out there whose citizenry you suppose are so stupid as to ignore that kind of your background and so vote to make you their president? You must not be allowed just to throw dust into our eyes. So, please address these allegations thoroughly and logically, then you may be able to convince us Ghanaians to vote for you and make you our president.

The NPP is nor only desperate, it also is confused and scared, unwilling to submit to debating President Mahama. How can a flag bearer who only knows how to make noise about building a dam in every village and a factory in every district be in any position to stand up to President Mahama in a debate? Even Ayariga put fear in clueless Akufo-Addo in the Presidential debates in 2012 elections with just his coughs. Serial Loser Akufo-Addo took a good look at his fellow elephant-rider Donald Trump's poor performance in his American debates and said to himself, "Debate President Mahama all by myself? Me? No way."

Clueless Serial Loser Akufo-Addo knows that without other candidates to take up valuable time on the podium, his serial lies and deceptions will run out in a matter of minutes, leaving him exposed. Serial lies and deceptions can only go so far.
