President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has endorsed Vice-President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia as the best candidate to succeed him. According to him, the NPP Flagbearer is now fully prepared to lead Ghana.
Speaking during his “Thank You Visit” in Bolgatanga, Upper East Region, Akufo-Addo urged stakeholders to give special attention to his vice president in the upcoming elections.
“We all know all those vying to succeed me as president; I want you to give special consideration, special attention to my vice-president, Mahamudu Bawumia.”
The President reflected on his long-standing relationship with Dr Bawumia, which began in 2006 and praised his loyalty and truthfulness.
“He has been by my side all through these eight years, and I know about his honesty, integrity, hard work, creativity and his love for Ghana.”
“So that is why at the age of 80 and two-term president, I can say with confidence, I know who can continue the good works and help us to consolidate the gains,” he stressed.
“Even though in 2008 and 2012, we were unsuccessful, he continued to work with me.”
“Loyalty in public life is absolutely essential, you must work with people who when they say something to you, you know it is the truth not because they want you to hear it, that is this man, Dr Bawumia.”
“He is extremely knowledgeable, very hard-working, and trustworthy. After eight years by my side, he is now fully prepared for the Office of President,” Akufo-Addo affirmed.
The president credited Bawumia for his key role in numerous development projects across the country, emphasizing that his leadership will help consolidate the gains of the current government and advance Ghana’s progress.
