I'm willing to debate Nana Addo any day - Mahama

President John Mahama has dared the flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party, Nana Akufo Addo for a debate following what the president describes as contentious statements made by Nana Akufo-Addo.

“I’m willing to debate Nana Akufo-Addo any day even if you call him today, I will put it here and start debating the issues. So I don’t have a problem with debating Nana Addo…, I would have wished that you had him hear so that we would debate those issues”, the president said on Accra-based TV3.

The 2016 flagbearer, Nana Akufo Addo and his running mate, Dr. Mahmudu Bawumia have on many occasions hit hard at the president, criticising his leadership style, and accusing him of destroying the economy.

Nana Addo recently indicated that the country's economy was in crisis during his delivery at what he calls the Real State of the Nation Address to counter the president's delivery.

The president has however indicated he would be ready to battle it out with Nana Addo during the campaign season if his party, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) express willingness to participate.

“Essentially our parties are involved in agreeing on the format of the debate and who organizes it and all that so it’s not for me to say. I’m sure the NDC party at the appropriate time, if they are invited to a debate, would have to take a decision on whether they feel comfortable with whoever is organizing the debate," he added.
