President Nana Akufo-Addo has taken a swipe at John Dramani Mahama, stating his predecessor's much-touted transformation is deceptive.

Akufo-Addo has urged voters to remain vigilant regarding Mahama's perceived change as he seeks re-election.

According to the President, there is no evidence to prove Mahama's claimed change.

"You [Mahama] failed when you were offered the opportunity and now you are claiming to be a changed person. What shows you are indeed a changed person? It is pure deception and we won’t agree," he teased.

During a visit to the Bantama Constituency in the Ashanti Region, Akufo-Addo emphasised that Mahama failed during his previous Presidency and questioned the authenticity of his transformation.

Akufo-Addo also cautioned against tribal and religious politics and pleaded with voters to consider his vice president, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, as his successor.

The President said Bawumia has the skills to govern the country.

Vice President Dr Bawumia was elected as the flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party on November 4, 2023, and is set to compete with John Mahama in the 2024 polls.
