Former General Secretary of the Convention People's Party (CPP), Nana Yaa Jantuah, has criticized President Akufo-Addo over his assertion that re-electing former President John Mahama would destroy his legacy.

Nana Yaa argues that President Akufo-Addo's legacy is not one that anyone, including his Vice President and New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, would want to continue.

“How can Mahama come and destroy your legacy? Nobody will come and continue it, even Bawumia says he has his own vision so he is even running away from the legacy.

“He is saying he will come and remove all the obnoxious and nuisance taxes, so who would want this legacy? Even the man you want to take over doesn’t acknowledge the legacy. He said he is the mate and not the driver, so who will take it?” she questioned while speaking on Accra-based TV3.

During a rally in Doboro, Greater Accra, President Akufo-Addo urged Ghanaians not to vote for the NDC's flagbearer in the upcoming December elections, expressing concern that electing Mr. Mahama would undermine the progress made during his tenure.

However, Nana Yaa Jantuah insists that the President's legacy is nothing to boast about. In response, Mr. Mahama stated that he would not continue a legacy of "corruption, bad governance, arrogance, ineptitude, and a bankrupt economy."
