Minister for Roads and Highways and Member of Parliament for Bantama constituency, Francis Asenso-Boakye, criticized former President John Mahama, suggesting that he is not adequately prepared for the presidency.
Asenso-Boakye’s comments were in response to Mahama’s recent statement about needing a “honeymoon period” if elected in 2025, which Asenso-Boakye interpreted as a sign of unpreparedness and a reluctance to immediately address the nation’s challenges.
Speaking at a New Patriotic Party (NPP) gathering during the acclamation of Samuel Abu Jinapor as the parliamentary candidate for Damongo in the Savanna region, Asenso-Boakye underscored the importance of Ghanaians electing Vice President Dr. Bawumia, the NPP’s presidential candidate for the December election.
Asenso-Boakye highlighted Bawumia’s readiness and active engagement in governance as reasons for his endorsement.
“Former President John Mahama’s statement regarding needing a honeymoon period indicates his lack of preparedness for the job,” Asenso-Boakye asserted. “We cannot entrust our nation to someone who seeks to delay action while leadership is urgently needed.”
In contrast, Asenso-Boakye praised Dr. Bawumia’s readiness, stating, “Dr. Bawumia will hit the ground running from day one, addressing the challenges facing our nation with his bold solutions.”
At a recent New Patriotic Party (NPP) gathering, Francis Asenso-Boakye expressed confidence in the NPP’s track record of development and urged Ghanaians to reward the party’s hard work by supporting its candidates. He specifically commended Samuel Abu Jinapor, the Damongo MP, as a diligent young leader dedicated to the progress of his constituents, urging voters to rally behind him in the 2024 elections for continued development in the region.
The event featured speeches from other prominent NPP officials, including Hon. Stephen Asamoah Boateng, Minister for Chieftaincy and Culture; Fatimatu Abubakar, Information Minister designate; General Secretary of the party, Justin Frimpong Koduah, and various dignitaries.
Even in his state of unpreparedness he is still a better option than the liar, we don’t need any cut and paste government as exemplified by the re christening of Ayalolo as tap and go
