Governance expert Prof. Baffour Agyemang-Duah has dismissed President Akufo-Addo’s statement that he would not hand over power to John Mahama as a mere joke.
Prof. Agyemang-Duah emphasized that President Akufo-Addo would be obligated to transfer power if the New Patriotic Party (NPP) loses the 2024 elections.
This commentary follows President Akufo-Addo’s renewed appeal to Ghanaians to vote for Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia in the upcoming 2024 General Election.
President Akufo-Addo asserted that John Mahama, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) flagbearer, should not succeed him, arguing that Mahama would undermine his legacy.
“Of course, I will not protect your ‘legacy’ of corruption, misgovernance, arrogance, ineptitude, bankrupt economy, increased unemployment, and pushing more of our people into the poverty bracket,” the NDC flagbearer stated in a tweet.
“I think the President was joking, I don’t think he was serious about saying I won’t hand over power. Who is he, not to hand over power? So I think it was just a mere joke.
“Even though people think perhaps it was a mere joke, I don’t think the President will ever dream of not handing over power if his party loses. It cannot happen in this country,” Prof. Agyemang-Duah reiterated.
