'When Abrantie BoG came, the cedi is now trading at GHȼ16 to a dollar'

John Mahama of NDC (L) and Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia of NPP (R)

Former President John Mahama has criticised Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia for not addressing the country’s pressing economic challenges, instead of offering digitisation as a solution to every issue.

Mr Mahama, who is the presidential candidate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), refrained from naming Bawumia directly, referring to him as "Abrantie" (young man) during his remarks.

According to Mr Mahama, Vice President Bawumia has failed to resolve critical economic issues, particularly the exchange rate crisis, which has severely impacted many local businesses.

He argued that digitisation alone cannot solve the deeper economic problems the country faces.
