Bawumia is a man of destiny, give him chance to be president – Kufuor

Former President John Agyekum Kufuor has described the Vice President and flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Dr Mahamudu Bawumia as a man of destiny.

Mr Kufuor appealed to Ghanaians to give Dr Bawumia a chance to be president because he can do the job.

“I have always seen him as a man of destiny. when I first saw him that was about 2002, a research assistant to the Governor of BoG. This young man delivered a paper of international conference of giants in London…immediately he finished his address I told him he is a man of destiny,” Mr Kufuor said at the University of Professional Studies, Accra (UPSA) auditorium, the venue for the address on Wednesday February 7.

“Give him the chance to come. I have a strong feeling he is truly the man of the moment and Ghana must accept,” he added.

The National Chair of the NPP Stephen Ayensu Ntim also described Dr Mahamudu Bauwmia as a hard-working person.

He says Dr Bawumia’s hard work has earned him the position of the flagbearer of the NPP for the 2024 elections.

“The election of Dr Bawumia as flagbearer shows that we are not an exclusivist party but that values diversity and embraces different perspectives. I commend Dr Bawumia for his exceptional determination and hard work which has earned him well-derived position of NPP presidential candidate for 2024,” he said at the University of Professional Studies, Accra (UPSA) auditorium, the venue for the address on Wednesday February 7.

A presidential staffer Dennis Miracles Aboagye also said Dr Bawumia is a leader Ghanaians can trust.

Mr Aboagye indicated that Dr Bawumia is a leader that Ghanaians can afford to sleep knowing that he will deliver.

“He is a leader we can trust, a leader with credibility. He is one that Ghanaians believe they can go to sleep knowing he will deliver. Today we are going to know the new path that the Dr Bawumia is going to take us on and I am excited,” he told journalists

For his part, Government spokesperson on Governance and Security, Palgrave Boakye Danquah, said Dr will form the foundation of the manifesto for the 2024 elections.

The address, he added, will also set the stage for the campaign activities of the NPP to start.

“Dr Bawumia is going to tell the Ghanaian people what he wants to do, it is a very important day for Ghana and for the NPP. His address today will set the stage for capoging, for what he is going to do. What he is going to say will form the foundation and basis for the manifesto,” Boakye Danquah also told journalists UPSA auditorium.

GAPNEWS Ghana moves to capture US$2.4bn China soya market. The hefty tariff on soybeans from the United States has caused a 17 percent import decrease of the produce into China in February 2019, being the lowest level recorded since 2015, General Administration of Customs – Chinese statistical agency, has revealed. In 2017, U.S. soybean exports to China reached a volume of US$14.573 billion. Currently, the United States is the world’s largest soybean producer and second largest exporter, after Brazil.

GAPNEWS WHAT IS WRONG WITH GHANA l am not too old neither am I too young and certainly I can’t admit to knowing all the problems confronting our dear Nation Ghana, but suffice as it will I have had the speck removed from my eyes and have seen the trajectory of our Governance process as a Nation with my eyes and have come to the conclusion of the very facts I dare state beneath. The trouble in Ghana is simply and squarely a leadership crisis finding its expression in the “volcanic” way of our practice of politics in Ghana. Let me hasten to indicate that there is nothing wrong with the Ghanaian, our land, our climate, our water, and our ability to think and do things for ourselves. The Ghanaian crisis stems from the roots of the unwillingness and the wanton disrespect for patriotism on the part of its leaders to rise to the responsibility of performance beneficial to the good people of Ghana. We have seen quite fairly or if you will strongly in the epoch of our political li...
