Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia has called the presidential candidate for the National Democratic Congress (NDC) John Mahama to apologize to Ghanaian’s for resorting to tribal politics.
Speaking during his tour of Gusehgu in the Northern Region, Dr. Bawumia said the 2020 election will be fought on records and not on tribalism.
“We don’t want a president who divides. We want a president who unites and so the recent utterance by John Mahama referring to Akyems as Sakawa boys; how do you take a whole tribe and say they are sakawa. You cannot win this Presidency with tribalism. Ghana has gone beyond tribalism”, he said.
“Come and show your competence in the delivery for the people of Ghana. But because you cannot show your competence. You are resorting to tribalism. We will not stand for tribalism, and so we will continue to call on John Mahama to apologize unreservedly for what he has endorsed. This election is going to be fought on our record but not on tribalism”, – he added.
Already John Mahama has told Akufo-Addo, he lacks the moral right to complain about tribal sentiment because he is the biggest culprit.
