He mentioned that the former president remains the same individual Ghanaians are familiar with and cautioned about being careful around him.
The president stated that the National Democratic Congress (NDC) flagbearer for the 2024 polls failed significantly during his presidency and lacks evidence to demonstrate any personal renewal.
“We going into elections again and the person who failed to deliver has come back claiming to be a changed person who needs to be considered. You failed when you were offered the opportunity and now you are claiming to be a changed person.
“What shows you are indeed a changed person? It is pure deception and we won’t agree. Will you agree?” While visiting the Bantama Constituency in the Ashanti Region, the president inquired.
Nana Akufo-Addo warned against endorsing tribal and religious politics, championing instead the selection of his vice president, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, as his successor.
“Where you are from or what you worship is not important. What is important is your skillset and what you have to offer,” the president added.
Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia secured the position of flagbearer for the New Patriotic Party on November 4, 2023.
He is ready to compete against John Mahama, who was removed from office in 2016 and also faced defeat in his attempted comeback bid in 2020.
