Mahama's attacks on me will fail because God will see me through - Akufo-Addo

President John Mahama, since he started his 2016 campaign tour, has been consistent in his criticism of the personality and leadership style of New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer Nana Akufo-Addo even to the extent describing him as a dictator.

But Nana Addo has dismissed the criticisms saying, the attacks on his person, by the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC), aimed at reducing his chances in the 2016 general elections will fail because God will see him through.

Addressing a rally in Bolgantanga as part of his campaign tour of the Upper East , the NPP flagbearer said, “First they said I was a drug addict, it didn’t work. They said I was sick, it didn’t work. They said I was too old, it didn’t work. They said I was a hunchback, it didn’t  work. They said I was a dwarf, it didn’t work. They said I was in a wheelchair, it didn’t work. They said I am a murderer, it didn’t work. They said I will die in June, it didn’t work. They said I was a dictator, it didn’t work. They said I was intolerant, it didn’t work. They said I was violent, it didn’t work. They said I had a secret agenda to destabilise the country, it didn’t work. Now, they say I have cancer, it will not work". 

“It appears the only way the President will get another term is when I am sick or I am dead” but “I believe and I continue to say the battle is the Lord’s”, he noted.

According to him, because the President has nothing new for Ghanaians, he has turned him [Nana Addo] into his campaign message.

“The President has made me his campaign. I am his campaign in Ghana today”, he said, adding that,  “As defeat stares him [President Mahama] in the face, the language against me is going to go (a notch) higher and higher and higher, because it is clear to the overwhelming majority of Ghanaians that on the 7th of December, we are going to say to John Dramani Mahama, ‘Thank you and goodbye’.”
