Responding to Dr. Bawumia’s recent appeal to be elected president, citing his performance as Vice President, Mahama argued that Ghanaians would give Dr. Bawumia an ‘F’ grade for his handling of the economy.
During a community engagement in Amanfrom, part of the second phase of his Greater Accra regional campaign, Mahama urged the government to accept responsibility for the ongoing economic hardships facing the country.
“Recently, I heard the flagbearer of the NPP, the vice president, saying that he has performed excellently as vice president so they should promote him to president. And I said, I don’t know who marked his script and whether he marked it himself, but I can tell him that when it comes to his performance, the mark that the people of Ghana will give him for management of the economy is F, fail.
“The mark that the people of Ghana will give him for management of the economy is F. F means fail. Because when it comes to the economy, they failed completely, absolutely. And they cannot escape blame for where they have landed us.”
