It’s obvious Akufo-Addo desperately needs a third term to avoid accountability - Joyce Bawah

Joyce Bawah Mogtari, the Campaign Spokesperson and Special Aide for the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has expressed her belief that President Akufo-Addo is desperately seeking a third term.

In a recent Facebook post dated October 30, Mogtari asserted that the President is attempting to evade accountability for his administration’s actions, indicating a reluctance to face scrutiny for his government’s policies and decisions.

Mogtari's comments highlight what she perceives as a calculated effort by President Akufo-Addo to position himself favourably while supporting the New Patriotic Party's flagbearer, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.

She argues that this vigorous campaigning is a strategy to distance himself from the criticisms directed at his leadership and to secure a continuation of his party's rule through Bawumia.

Mr Mahama's spokesperson contended that the President's actions reflect a deep-seated desire to escape the consequences of his administration’s governance, which has faced various challenges, including economic difficulties.

By backing Dr Bawumia, Mogtari believes that Akufo-Addo is trying to ensure that the legacy of his policies is perpetuated without facing the repercussions that may arise from a change in leadership.

"Obviously Akufo Addo desperately needs a third term, and it is obvious his side guy no dey fit campaign or answer the questions, abi you know, so Orga take the steer back," she posted.
