Former President John Agyekum Kufuor has praised the policies of Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) presidential candidate, highlighting their potential to drive national development.
Speaking at a mini rally in Abuakwa South on Wednesday, the former President called on voters to support Dr Bawumia, emphasizing that his vision and policies are key to Ghana’s progress.
“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 is coming for an inclusive government. His policies will alleviate the suffering of Ghanaians. I have listened to all those talking about their policies, but I haven’t seen anyone with policies as good as Bawumia’s,” he stated.
Meanwhile, Kufuor has dismissed calls to refrain from commenting on the 2024 general elections, following backlash over his endorsement of 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.
“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,” Kufuor stated.
