Former President John Agyekum Kufuor has affirmed that Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) presidential candidate, is the ideal choice for Ghana’s presidency in this year’s general elections.
Kufuor emphasized that Bawumia’s vision and strategies are designed to ease the country’s challenges and drive progress. He made these remarks during a mini-rally in Abuakwa South on Wednesday, November 27.
“I have been paying attention. Bawumia’s policies, particularly his focus on training the youth in entrepreneurial and digital skills, are good. If you don’t want this, what do you want? So I plead with you, he is not just coming for the NPP but for the whole country,” he stated.
Mr Kuruo further defended his decision to campaign for Dr Bawumia.
“I am facing criticism for voicing my opinions on national matters due to my position as a statesman. Experience and wisdom are often associated with age,” he said.
He added “The New Patriotic Party (NPP) is my political affiliation, and it was through this party that I attained the presidency. Additionally, my child, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, has been elected through the party.
“During my administration, he was a member of the Bank of Ghana team and demonstrated remarkable performance during a challenging period when Ghana was in financial distress. Their efforts were instrumental in revitalizing the economy at that time.”
