Reacting to the Vice President’s media encounter, John Mahama stated that Bawumia’s stuttering was evidence that he was telling lies.

“You know how to tell when somebody is lying? If they are people who are smooth talkers who can speak ratatat like a machine gun, the time when they become stammerers and start stammering, you know they’re lying.
“Somebody who can speak tatatatata like AK47 suddenly media encounter eh-eh-eh i think eh-eh-eh-eh. The person started stammering, and you can’t even tell the head and tail. The fundamentals are weak, and then he went lorgorligi lorgorligi,” he said.

He added that the NPP had scheduled their media encounter a day behind the NDC’s manifesto launch to sway attention from their manifesto.

According to John Mahama, their “devious” machinations flopped.
