The flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama, has accused the New Patriotic Party (NPP) of attempting to distract public attention from the NDC’s manifesto which was launched on Saturday, August 24.

His comment follows a media engagement with the NPP’s flagbearer, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia on Sunday, August 25, a day after the NDC’s manifesto was unveiled in Winneba.

Speaking at a community event at Kasseh in Ada, Mahama criticised the timing of Dr. Bawumia’s media engagement, alleging it was strategically planned to overshadow the NDC’s manifesto.

Mahama further accused Bawumia of dishonesty during his media interaction, claiming that the NPP flagbearer’s nervousness was evident.

“When you do something with a devious intention, it backfires on you. We announced that we were going to launch our manifesto on the 24th of August. Immediately, our opponents announced that they were going to do a media encounter on the 25th of August, the very next day.

“You know, the intention for doing that media encounter the next day after we had announced our manifesto was to turn the attention of Ghanaians from the NDC manifesto.

“That was the main reason why they decided to do a media encounter the very next day after we launched our manifesto. But you see when you do something with devious intentions, it backfires on you. You know how to tell when somebody is lying. If there are people who are smooth talkers, the time when they become stammerers and they start stammering, you know they are lying.

The person started stammering and you can’t tell the head or tail. And so you must do things with truthful intention and the basic principle of leadership is truth and honesty.

“If you want to be a leader, you must be truthful and honest to your people and so NDC will always speak the truth. ”
