The Director General of the National Lottery Authority (NLA), Sammi Awuku, has stated he support for vice president Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia as the NPP’s candidate for the general elections of 2024.
When it comes to selecting a flagbearer for the party, Awuku, who is also the former national organizer of the NPP, said he does not believe in the “aduru woso” (it is your turn) principle.
He prefers to choose someone who is capable of doing the job well.
On April 17, 2023, Sammi Awuku asserted in an interview with Movement TV that Dr. Bawumia have all the skills required to run the party successfully.
According to him, the Vice President is accommodating, religiously tolerant and humble.
“I have said that the Vice President is a personal friend, I think he possesses some values, some virtues that I believe if he wants to contest, and Ghanaians support him, he will go far.
“I don’t believe in the ‘aduru woso’ (it is your time) principle, every election goes with its own strength and whenever there is vacancy people fight for it, with his politics of inclusion, he draws everyone closer, you will also realize that he is tolerant religiously.
“This is a man that when you invite him to church programs he goes to, you will see him in the Mosque and in the Church, he doesn’t discriminate and he respects everyone also.
He emphasised that as a one-time organizer at the youth and national levels, he has an eye for successful mobilization and campaigning.
“When he consults, and the party opens nominations and he wants to go, I will support him if he comes to me for my support,” he said.
The many positions Bawumia has held in the party and the administration, he continued, have all demonstrated his leadership style.
