President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has reiterated the confidence he has in his Vice President and flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, indicating that he has never lied to him since both journeyed together in the political landscape.
The President was speaking in Kumasi, where he called on the electorate to give Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia a chance and not to a failed president in the person of John Dramani Mahama, who wants to stage a comeback.
President Akufo-Addo noted that Dr. Bawumia is well prepared and must be given a chance because it is possible for a Bawumia leadership to make Ghana much better.
“Bawumia has never lied to me since working with me. I trust him, and Ghanaians must trust him too. I know him, and he will deliver. Bawumia is an honest man who can continue my good works; no other person can do that because it’s not in their DNA to do that”, he rallied the electorate.
This is not the first time the President has reiterated his confidence in the NPP flagbearer in managing the country’s affairs if voted for.
It would be recalled that in October this year, while visiting Wa in the Upper West Region, President Akufo-Addo commended Bawumia’s commitment, having worked alongside him for nearly two decades in various capacities, including as vice president.
The President emphasised his confidence in Bawumia’s loyalty and abilities, stating that he has never doubted his vice president’s dedication to serving the nation.
He noted that Bawumia’s track record and experience make him the ideal candidate to continue the NPP’s developmental agenda.
President Akufo-Addo urged Ghanaians to vote for Bawumia in the 2024 general elections, describing him as a leader who embodies loyalty, commitment, and a clear vision for the country’s future.
“In the nearly 20 years that I have been working with Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, I have not had one day, one occasion to doubt his loyalty, to doubt his commitment to our common goal. And I have come here to ask for your support to make Bawumia break the 8.”
“I see that the former President is saying all kinds of things about the number 8 he chose. That it means he is going to win. Breaking the 8 and having the number 8, that is not a good sign at all,” he said.
