Bernard Allotey Jacobs has expressed delight about the New Patriotic Party’s presidential candidates joining Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia’s campaign tour as he believes an angel is leading Dr. Bawumia this political season.
Four of the vice president’s rivals for the party’s presidential nomination accompanied Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia on the tour to the Ashanti Region.
Allotey Jacobs, the former Central Regional Chairman of the NDC, made these forceful remarks during an appearance on Peace FM’s “Kokrokoo” morning show.
Kennedy Agyapong, a business magnate and MP for Assin Central, is one of the important ones who attracted public attention.
Though he lost to Dr. Bawumia, Mr. Kennedy Agyapong gave the latter a run for his money. Just when people were beginning to doubt the MP’s decision to join Bawumia’s campaign team, the MP disproved everyone by making a major appearance on the campaign bus that traveled through the Ashanti Region.
He actively campaigned for Dr. Bawumia saying “as a businessman and politician, I understand both politics and business. I acknowledge the current hardships but when you vote, remember that the NDC is not a viable option. They are very dangerous”.
He continued “under the Akufo-Addo-Bawumia government, we’ve covered fees under Free SHS and even provided uniforms for your children” and stressed “even in developed countries, governments don’t buy uniforms for students. So, I urge all of you to recognize that even developed countries are facing economic crises. Don’t be deceived by false promises. Remember the NDC’s past governance. Let’s all support Bawumia”.
The overwhelming amount of support Bawumia is receiving in what he described as his “retail campaign”, stating “the magic in this retail campaign has brought other contestants who were competing with him for the flagbearership; they’re all back on board. For whatever they said, they are all back on board and they are going to help repair the damage they caused to move forward”.
To him, “there is an Angel leading Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia and his campaign”.
