The Founder and leader of the Action People’s Party (APP), Kenneth Nana Kwame Asamoah, has criticized Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, despite his qualifications and accolades as an accomplished economist, for failing Ghana.
Mr Asamoah has expressed that Ghanaians are enduring hardships due to Dr. Bawumia’s poor performance and mismanagement of the economy as the head of the Economic Management Team.
Before the 2016 general elections, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia was hailed by many as the savior of the economy, expected to collaborate with Akufo-Addo to rescue the country from economic turmoil.
During that period, Dr. Bawumia conducted a series of public lectures criticizing the Economic Management Team of the previous Mahama administration.
However, there is growing disappointment among sections of the public, who feel that the Vice President has not lived up to expectations in his almost 8-year tenure as head of the Economic Management Team.
Nana Kwame Asamoah now questions Dr. Bawumia’s economic expertise, asserting that he has shifted his focus to digitalization and is no longer the esteemed economist he was once perceived to be.
Asamoah believes that Dr. Bawumia was manipulated by the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to deceive Ghanaians for their votes.
“Bawumia knows nothing about the economy, and he was used to deceive Akufo Addo and Ghanaians for their votes,” he stated on Onua FM Etifi Nsem show on May 25.
The leader of the APP insists that traders in the country have a better understanding of the economy than Dr. Bawumia and hopes that Ghanaians will recognize this and reject him in the upcoming December 7 elections.
“Bawumia knows nothing about the economy, and he was used to scam Akufo Addo and Ghanaians for their votes,” he told Isaac Ekow J.B, host of Onua FM Etifi Nsem show on May 25.
