President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has confidently endorsed his Vice President, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, as the ideal candidate to succeed him, citing his exceptional leadership qualities and unwavering dedication to Ghana’s progress.
Addressing the NPP’s manifesto launch in Takoradi on Sunday, August 18, President Akufo-Addo praised Dr Bawumia’s outstanding contributions to their administration’s achievements, highlighting his honesty, loyalty, and commitment to the nation’s growth.
He assured Ghanaians that Dr Bawumia will continue to serve with humility and respect, unlike National Democratic Congress (NDC) flagbearer, John Dramani Mahama who resorted to insults when faced with challenges.
“I’m in the best place to give the testimony and appeal to Ghanaians to give the stewardship of this country in the next 8 years to Dr Bawumia and his running mate NAPO. Dr Bawumia and I met 16 years ago. And I can say that there has not been one day that I have regretted joining my life to his, either in opposition or in power.
“He has been a model of honesty, he’s a man who lives and breathes Ghana. I can say he will deliver on each of the commitments. I have never had any problem with my Vice President. I have gone to bed every night securing my knowledge that my vice president stands firmly and solidly behind me. He has been the model or picture of loyalty itself.
“This is a man who has respect for the people of Ghana. This is not the man who will tell Ghanaian people that you have short memories. He’s not that type of man, he’s a man who has respect for the people of Ghana, this is not a man when his policies failed and he will say that he’s not a magician, that is not the language of Bawumai.
“We have a man who is respectful and will work days and nights to ensure that our country continues on an upward trajectory.”
