A Communications Team Member for the main opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Kwaku Asafo Adjei has described the flagbearer of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr Mahamadu Bawumia’s driver’s mate analogy as dead on arrival.
According to him, Dr Bawumia’s position as the head of Ghana’s Economic Management Team has a key role in the country’s economic development.
He said he was taken aback when Dr Bawumia said he had very little influence in the incumbent government as Vice President for seven years.
Speaking on the Kumasi based OTEC 102.9 FM’s afternoon political show “Dwabrem” on Friday February 18, 2024, Kwaku Asafo emphasized that, the Vice President’s claim of not having decision making power as the Head of Economic Management Team was false.
The Vice President and flagbearer of the governing New Patriotic Party, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia on Wednesday, February 7, 2024 delivered his vision to Ghanaians.
Dr Bawumia during his presentation described his position as a driver’s mate who has no decision making power.
He however stressed that despite being driver’s mate, “if, by the Grace of God, Ghanaians make him President, he will be in the driver’s seat with constitutionally mandated authority to pursue his vision and priorities.
Kwaku Asafo Adjei in his reaction to the comments on the Dwabrem show, hosted by Dr Cash described Dr Bawumia’s assertion as ‘tricky’, adding that, he is only trying to run away from the bad policies of the Akufo-Addo government which he (Bawumia) is an integral part.
