The National Democratic Congress (NDC) Communications Director, Sammy Gyamfi, has strongly criticized Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, accusing him of making empty promises and lacking credibility in his messages.
Gyamfi’s comments come in response to Bawumia’s recent address at the University of Professional Studies in Accra (UPSA).
During the address on February 7, the Vice President outlined several visions aimed at improving Ghana if given the opportunity.
These visions included the cancellation of the E-levy, emissions tax, VAT on electricity, and the introduction of digital interventions to enhance the healthcare sector.
However, Gyamfi took issue with Bawumia’s credibility, particularly highlighting a controversial statement where the Vice President likened himself to a “driver’s mate,” suggesting he is under the control of the President and incapable of making decisions independently.
Gyamfi criticised Bawumia’s utterances as gibberish and lacking credibility, referencing past instances where the Vice President’s promises were allegedly unfulfilled.
He cited an example from 2020 when Bawumia announced the construction of an ultra-modern harbour in Cape Coast, which, according to Gyamfi, turned out to be unsubstantiated.
“Was it not the same Bawumia who stood at Cape Coast just this 2020 and said that good people of Cape Coast, I have good news for you, we are building for you an ultra-modern harbour when at the time, not a single block had be laid anywhere for the construction of the harbour. Even his own president when he was asked about this interview denied knowledge, that should tell you how dishonest this President is.
“I am trying to tell you Bawumia lacks credibility, his message is gibberish, his message is junk, there is nothing you can do with the words of a liar,” Sammy Gyamfi stated.

Clear Example is John Mahama . Doesn’t have a little credibility mpo. That’s why his 24hr message is not marketing.
