Kufour recounted the backlash he received in the past when he first described Dr Bawumia as a “man of destiny.” He noted that his endorsement had been met with insults and opposition from certain quarters, but he remains steadfast in his support for the current Vice President.
“I was attacked for calling Bawumia ‘a Man of Destiny’ but I know why I said that. I think he’s the best man Ghana needs at this moment in our history. Ghanaians should give Bawumia a chance,” he stated.
Former President Kufour reiterated that he still believes in Bawumia’s potential and is convinced of his suitability for the presidency. In the interview, Mr. Kufour highlighted Bawumia’s track record, emphasising his deep understanding of the country’s economic landscape and his innovative approach to governance.
