President Mahama, who is seeking re-election on the ticket of the National Democratic Congress, savaged Nana Akufo-Addo’s claims that roads in the Western Region are in a terrible state.

“The president straight from the Cape Coast went to the Western Region following our candidate’s campaign footsteps," John Boadu said a news conference in Accra. “But the president had a false start by resuming campaign rounds with insults.”

Starting his campaign in the Western Region Tuesday, president Mahama said the NPP flagbearer probably slept during his tour of the region that is why he did not see good roads in the region.

He said: “I promised that we will invest monies into cocoa roads. So if you realise, the majority of roads we are doing are all in the western region.

"They said someone came here recently and said he did not see any [good] road. He was probably sleeping.”

Mr Boadu noted that “we all know that John Mahama is too sensitive to fair criticism but it gives him no excuse to use unpresidential language against his opponent, chiefs and the people of the Western Region.”

Earlier, the spokesman of Akufo Addo, Mustapha Hamid, criticized the president for downgrading the level of political discourse in the country.

“I am very sad because presidential discourse is supposed to be a discourse of reasoning, a discourse of logic, a discourse of intellectual depth,' He said. “ For a president to reduce political discourse to such gibe description is flighty and unpresidential.”

According to Mr Hamid, such discourse that the president has ignited should be left to party footsoldiers.
