The candidate for the Ofoase Ayiribe Constituency in the House of Representatives, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, has endorsed Vice President Dr. Mahamadu Bawumia’s bid to lead the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the impending 2024 elections.
Nkrumah expressed his respect for Dr. Bawumia’s significant contributions to the party over the years during an event in his district that was recorded on camera and uploaded on Twitter.
Nkrumah spoke to Bawumia as a loyal cornerstone of the NPP and emphasized the vice president’s unflinching dedication to upholding the party anytime it is in peril. He also praised Bawumia’s modesty and commitment to party issues.
“Today, I want to share something with you. Ever since I became acquainted with Dr. Bawumia in 2008 when he was at the Bank of Ghana and I was at Joy FM, and throughout our political journey, I have silently learned some invaluable lessons from him.”
“Whenever the party finds itself under attack, Dr. Bawumia consistently steps forward to shield it, even at the risk of facing personal criticisms. His commitment to this cause has been unwavering.”
Nkrumah continued by elaborating on the idea of repaying kindness with kindness and highlighting the need of recognizing Bawumia’s devotion to and services to the NPP. He emphasized that rather than opposing Bawumia, the party should be strengthened by his selfless effort.
Citing Proverbs 17:13, Nkrumah quoted, “Whoever repays evil for good, evil will never depart from their house. So, if Alhaji Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has been beneficial to us, should we respond with negativity?”
He further stated, “In this month, our Chairman and I will cast our votes for him (Dr. Bawumia), and come November, delegates from Ofoase Ayirebi will wholeheartedly support Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.”
