Former President John Agyekum Kufuor has asserted that Vice President and Flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr Mahamudu Bawumia has not lobbied him to speak in his favour ahead of the upcoming 2024 elections.
Speaking in a live broadcast with journalists from prominent media outlets, Mr Kufuor addressed a question posed by Kwame Adinkra of Pure FM about why he believes Dr Bawumia is the right candidate to lead Ghana.
The former President stressed on Dr Bawumia’s exceptional track record as an economist, noting his significant contributions to the country’s economic landscape even before assuming the role of Vice President.
He emphasised that Dr Bawumia’s deep understanding of the economy and his ability to manage complex financial matters make him a strong contender for the presidency.
The former President further underscored that Dr Bawumia is the person Ghana needs at this critical juncture in its development.
According to him, the country requires a leader with the vision, experience, and technical expertise to drive the nation forward, especially in the face of ongoing economic challenges.
“Dr Bawumia’s understanding of economics and his innovative policies have made him stand out. His leadership ideologies align with the aspirations of every Ghanaian. I firmly believe he has what it takes to elevate this country.”
“He hasn’t made me a spokesperson or lobbied me to speak for him. My advice is grounded in my own observations of the political landscape and my faith in his abilities,” Kufuor stated.
