The Member of Parliament (MP) for Akim Swedru, Kennedy Osei Nyarko has said the genius of Vice-President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia poses a significant threat to the National Democratic Party (NDC).
Dr. Bawumia, in his opinion, is a skilled communicator who can make economics simple enough for anyone to understand.
Osei Nyarko is convinced former President John Mahama is no competitor for Bawumia when it comes to debate on national issues, noting that “Dr. Bawumia continues to be a nightmare and albatross on the neck of the NDC.”
“He has always taken the biggest opposition party on policies and on innovative ideas implementations. No wonder they will not stop at anything to attack and denigrate him. He is the nightmare of the NDC. We want someone who will take the fight to the opponent and not the one who will rather fight the one fighting the opponent,” he wrote on his Facebook wall.
“It seems that Dr. Bawumia is a problem for his political rivals. I’ve been involved in Ghanaian politics for a very long time, and I can attest that Dr. Bawumia is one of our country’s top communicators. He is coherent, articulate, and laser-focused,” he said.
He added: “He makes economics very simple. He is able to reduce very complicated issues, so, I see why he represents a problem and a challenge for some people. I think the town hall meeting was a useful exercise.”
Earlier, the NPP MP said Dr. Bawumia is competent to serve as substantive president when President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo’s tenure ends.
According to him, Dr. Bawumia is the right choice to represent the party in the 2024 polls adding that Dr. Bawumia having served as the Vice President of the country for six years, is in the right position, as he has more in-depth knowledge about the country’s economy than the other aspirants.
