Never debate a liar – Gen Mosquito reacts to debate calls

National Chairman of the NDC, Johnson Asiedu Nketiah popularly referred to as General Mosquito says the NDC is against its Presidential Candidate, John Mahama debating NPP’s Candidate because according to him Bawumia is a “liar”.

We have told Mahama not engage Bawumia in any debate in any shape or form. I have learnt many lessons that helps me in my politics…there are two categories of people that a wiseman should not debate: one is a fool or idiot…never argue with a fool because people will not know the difference, but I hope it does not apply to Bawumia because I don’t think he is a fool,” he said on Dwabo on CTV.

The other person, he said, was a liar: “Never argue with a liar because they believe in their own lies…If you argue with a liar who is intelligent he is very dangerous…he can polish a lie to make it seem like truth. Also, he believes in his lies…he will not accept any fact,” he added.

The NDC Chairman said, Dr. Bawumia does not mean what he says. “We all know what he has said in the past; you don’t need evidence to proof that Dr. Bawumia is a liar,” he emphasised.

He said Dr. Bawumia should first answer the 170 questions he posed to former Vice President, Mr. Kwesi Amissah-Arthur. “Bawumia has credibility crisis, he has a huge work to do to debate his own records. He has to discharge that work first. Sometime ago he said he had asked Mr. Amissah-Arthur 170 questions…he has a lot of work to do by way of providing answers to his own 170 questions,” General Mosquito said.

Additionally, he explained that when the NDC was calling for a debate in 2016, Dr. Bawumia responded that the economy’s impact was on the workers, market women, kayayei, GPRTU etc. so Mahama should go and debate them. Today, have those people left the country?” he quizzed.
