You Either Don’t Read Or Understand Economic Data – Bawumia Replies Mahama

The Vice President and Presidential Candidate of the NPP, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, has taken former President John Mahama to the cleaners, exposing what he calls Mahama's dreadful record in all economic indicators. In a fiery delivery at Nungua, in the Krowor Constituency of the Greater Accra Region, Dr. Bawumia laughed off claims by former President Mahama on his Facebook page that the current NPP government is a failed government. Responding, Dr. Bawumia taunted former President Mahama for not understanding economic data, because if he did, he won't be comparing his "failed government" with the NPP's, when every available economic data shows that the NPP has superior record.
