Political Scientist at the University of Ghana, Dr Joshua Zaato, has expressed confidence in former Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia, stating that Ghana would be in safe and prosperous hands should he become president.
Speaking during an appearance on JoyNews’ AM Show, Dr Zaato said Dr Bawumia possesses the leadership qualities, experience, and understanding needed to address the country’s challenges effectively.
“The question is an emphatic yes,” Dr Zaato said when asked whether Bawumia was capable of leading the country. “If today the people of this country make Dr Bawumia president, Ghana will be safe, Ghana will be secure, Ghana will be prosperous.”
According to the political scientist, Bawumia remains one of the most experienced politicians within the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP), particularly following his years in government as Vice President.
“He knows this stuff. He has what it takes to do this job,” he stated.
Dr Zaato further argued that aside from President John Dramani Mahama, few politicians in the NPP currently possess the level of governance experience held by Dr Bawumia.
He also praised Bawumia’s contributions to government policy implementation during his time in office, insisting that Ghanaians would eventually appreciate and reward his role in national development.
“He will lead us to the promised land,” Dr Zaato added.
