Outspoken media personality,\u00a0Bridget Otoo, has descended heavily on President\u00a0Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo\u00a0for calling out the flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC),\u00a0John Dramani Mahama, for his failure to congratulate him after the 2020 general elections.<\/p>\n According to her, President Akufo-Addo does not have the moral right to question John Mahama for not congratulating him because he also failed to recognize persons who suffered brutality and violence during the 2020 elections.<\/p>\n She asked why President Akufo-Addo has not attended to the families of the eight people who lost their lives during the 2020 general elections but is worried about Mahama not recognizing his victory.<\/p>\n \u201cJust like the families of the 8 people who died during the 2020 elections,\u201d she wrote on her X page in response to a post by TV3 detailing President Akufo-Addo fuming about Mahama not congratulating him.<\/p>\n Background<\/strong><\/p>\n President\u00a0Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo\u00a0delivered an address ahead of January 8, 2024, Constitution Day.<\/p>\n Among others, he spoke about the importance of Ghana\u2019s democracy and the need to continually protect it and consolidate the gains of the last three decades.<\/p>\n 2024 marks the 4th anniversary of the day marked as a statutory holiday.<\/p>\n Akufo-Addo also touched on the need for a clean and fair election come December 2024, stressing that he was ready to do all it takes to ensure the process benefits Ghana above any party or candidate.<\/p>\n \u201cIn the end of it all, there should be no lingering doubt about the legitimacy of the election and the winning candidates of the conclusion of the process should receive the unalloyed support of all. That is how we can strengthen our democracy and the peace and stability of our nation,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n Then he sent a tongue-in-cheek message to former president\u00a0John Dramani Mahama: \u201cOn a lighter note, three years on, I am still waiting on my main opponent in the 2020 election to congratulate me on my victory.\u201d<\/p>\n The remark has been met with mixed reactions by the public on social media.<\/p>\n SB\/OGB<\/p>\n View the post below below<\/strong><\/p>\n Just like the families of the 8 people who died during the 2020 elections https:\/\/t.co\/z9lGfzYzr8<\/p>\n \u2014 Bee (@Bridget_Otoo) January 7, 2024<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Source: www.ghanaweb.com<\/p>\n <\/p><\/div>\n\n
