He further told voters the NPP flagbearer is too "dangerous" for the destiny of the nation to be entrusted into his hands.
The president sustained attack on the NPP leader follows some internal party politics which led to the suspension of three national executives and the death of the party's Upper East Regional Chairman of the party.

But addressing a press conference in Accra on Thursday, 25 August, Mr Boadu said the NPP is at peace.
“We wish to tell the president that the New Patriotic Party is not divided; we wish to tell him that the only fight that the NPP is involved in is the fight to rid Ghana of his bad leadership.”“All the people who contested against Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo in the ... presidential primaries are at the forefront of the NPP campaign today. Alan Kyerematen is at the right side of Nana Akufo-Addo travelling up and down the country preaching a positive message of change to the suffering masses of Ghana. Addai-Nimoh, Joe Ghartey, Osei Ameyaw, and all of them are fully committed to an Akufo-Addo victory. The party that gives its leader over 94 per cent of its grassroots support cannot be said to be split in the middle. No amount of ‘voodoo mathematics’, can change this fact. This is 94 per cent of competitive elections and not election with one self. The NPP is a peaceful political party,” he said.

It is said that if you want to know the true colour of a person, see how he behaves when under pressure. …President Mahama is now showing his true colours. Rather than addressing the myriad problems the country is facing, he has reduced his bid for re-election to a manifesto of lies and insults against Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.“The president is talking as if he is possessed. He is using words as if he is seeing things [in duplicate]. First, he insults Nana Addo for daring to re-echo the cries of the Western Region over the bad state of their roads, then he dares accuse Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, [who is] one of the foremost champions in the struggle against military dictatorship and for democracy and freedoms, as a dictator,” John Boadu said.
