Sammy Gyamfi, the communications officer for the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), has voiced reservations over Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia’s preparedness to lead the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the 2024 presidential contest.
Gyamfi claims that the economic decline in the country is the result of Dr. Bawumia’s leadership.
Sammy Gyamfi called Vice President Akufo-Addo and President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo “incompetent and corrupt” during an interview with Umaru Sanda Amadu on Face to Face on Citi TV, blaming them both for the struggles that Ghanaians endure.
Gyamfi claims that because Dr. Bawumia was so important to the administration, he is unable to separate himself from the economic unrest.
Given the considerable devaluation of the Ghanaian cedi, he questioned Dr. Bawumia’s economic strategy and chastised him for his unfulfilled promises.
“Mates [conductors] are relevant and important, you can be a good driver but with a bad mate you will fail. This mate, Dr Bawumia is a very incompetent, corrupt, clueless mate. And that is why he has failed in the primary responsibilities President Akufo-Addo entrusted in him, which is the management of the economy.
“The dollar then was GH5, is now GHC13.50pesewas, to the importer what is the use of Bawumia? Where are the strong economic fundamentals, where the concrete roads he promised? Where are the harbours he promised people of Cape Coast.
“The reason why Dr Bawumia can talk like this is because he has no respect for the truth. And he has no respect for the good people of this country. Either than that he should be displaying remorse for the crime he and his boss [President Akufo-Addo] and the entire NPP have committed against the people of Ghana.
“There’s no sector of this country today, there’s no metrics today which is better today than it was in 2016 when we handed over power to them.”
