Don’t Run Away Like Your Boss; Let’s Have A Debate – NAPO Tells Prof Opoku-Agyemang

The Vice-Presidential candidate for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has thrown a challenge to his counterpart from the National Democratic Congress (NDC) for an open debate before the December 7, presidential election.

Dr Mathew Opoku Prempeh, in a one-on-one interview with Kwami Sefa Kayi on Peace FM’s flagship morning show, ‘Korokoo’ said it would be fair for Prof. Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang to accept a debate since they both served as Education Ministers in their respective parties.

According to him, the NDC’s running mate should not be like her boss, who is ‘running away’ to debate his boss, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia.

“If John Mahama [NDC flagbearer] is scared and running away from international debate, they should organise it for the two former Education Ministers to debate. We both served for four years as ministers. Why is she scared?” he questioned.

Adding that, “the debate can be in her [Prof. Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang’s] bedroom and I will still win.”

NAPO’s challenge comes after President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo called on former President John Dramani Mahama to engage in a debate with Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, questioning why Mahama seems reluctant to do so.
