This argument was made by a former Second Deputy Speaker of Parliament, Professor Mike Ocquaye when he spoke to Accra-based Citi FM.
Prof Ocquaye added that the call for a debate was unnecessary because the NDC refused to participate in a debate which was organised by the Institute of Economic Affairs (IEA).
Prof Ocquaye rather asked President Mahama to rather tell the people of the Northern Ghana what happened to the Guinea fowls and other projects meant for the area.
President Mahama in an interview with Ovation Magazine mentioned that he has called for a one-on-one debate with Nana Addo for a while but he keeps running.
He subsequently reiterated his call on Volta Star Radio in the Volta Region during his campaign tour to the area. He said, "when I threw the first challenge, I threw it because a lot of misinformation was being thrown all over the place, and Nana Akufo-Addo and his running mate continue to misinform the Ghanaian public and that is why I said we should have a one-on-one debate."
