Former President John Agyekum Kufuor’s address to Ghanaians has sparked widespread sentiments and debates among netizens on X, forming the greater parts of conversations on Monday, November 18, 2024.

During his address on Sunday, November 17, 2024, Kufuor urged Ghanaians to cast their ballots for the NPP’s presidential candidate, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, stating that he is the best person to rescue the country from its current challenges.

Additionally, Kufuor recounted how Dr. Bawumia was instrumental in helping navigate the country through the HIPC crisis during his time at the Bank of Ghana.

This has generated significant discussions and divided opinions among citizens.

While some praise him for supporting Dr. Bawumia, others are criticising him for rallying support for the NPP despite the economic crisis that has plagued the country under the vice president’s leadership.

Other trending topics are HIPC, Akufo-Addo, and Rawlings.
