Speaking in an interview Accra-based Metro TV on the sidelines of the TESCON Forum held at the Kasoa Millennium City monitored by Soireenews.com stated that categorically the truck records of Dr. Bawumia have clearly shown that he is the type of person who can lead if Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo leaves.
Mr. Ofori Atta said the Vice President’s presentation lays out what the NPP government has done and the capacity to take the country to the transformation level.
“I think it lays out very distinctly what we have done as a party and the capacity to take us to the transformation level that we are talking about. Clearly for me, also makes it very evident to Ghanaians that we have the type of person who can lead after Nana Akufo-Addo leaves and that is reassuring,” he told Metro TV on the sidelines of the event Thursday.
Vice President Bawumia during his presentation acknowledged that times are hard in Ghana but was reassuring that work is being done to assuage the plight of the people of Ghana.
He argued that the economy is currently struggling as a result of some global crisis and that it there is a need for the people of Ghana to support the government to deliver a better life.
Comparatively, he said the NPP government had done very well in managing the economy but added that they will do more.
So far, the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu, has also endorsed Bawumia Presidential aid 2024 general elections.
The Asantehene made the endorsement in his tribute to the mother of Vice President, Dr . Mahamudu Bawumia.
The Deputy General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Nana Obiri Boahen has endorsed Vice President Dr. Alhaji Mahamadu Bawumia as flagbearer for the 2024 general election.
According to him, Bawumia is a type of candidate who can help them achieve the break the eight mantras.
Obiri Boahen, speaking on Adom TV’s The Big Agenda, did not emphatically declare his support but pointed at Dr. Bawumia as his preferred candidate.
“The party has not allowed campaigns at the moment but my candidate is from Walewale, he is a Mamprusi. He is a nice gentleman and always in the spectacle.
“He was once the governor of the Bank of Ghana, he has a young beautiful wife and he is currently the Vice President of Ghana,” he spoke highly of him.
He also expressed dissatisfaction with the chaos that has characterized the party’s polling station elections in parts of the country.
He said the injustice meted out to some individuals during and after the polling station elections could affect their hopes to retain power and his agenda was thwarted.
“Now that all party members are chanting break the eight, break the eight, how can we achieve this agenda with this internal strife? But, you see, I am bringing a candidate who will ensure our party continues to rule Ghana,” he said.
