President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has expressed his unwavering confidence in Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia’s ability to lead Ghana into a brighter and more prosperous future. Speaking at a rally in the Ashanti Region on Tuesday, November 26, the president made a strong case for the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) flagbearer, highlighting his competence, vision, and dedication to the development of the nation.
Addressing a crowd of enthusiastic supporters, President Akufo-Addo assured the gathering that Ghana’s future is secure in Dr. Bawumia’s hands. He pointed out that his administration had laid a solid foundation for economic recovery and growth, despite the numerous challenges faced over the years. He urged Ghanaians to make the right decision in the upcoming elections, expressing optimism that Dr. Bawumia would continue the transformative agenda of the NPP government.
“After all the difficulties, our economy is beginning to pick up,” the president said. “And I know we will make the right decision on the 7th of December. The man who will take over is going to build on this foundation and take Ghana to a higher level of development. And that man is Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.”
The president further emphasized that his endorsement of Dr. Bawumia was not based on mere political alignment but on years of firsthand experience working with him. Akufo-Addo described the vice president as a visionary leader with the competence and capability to deliver meaningful change.
“If there is anybody in Ghana who is in a position to testify about the qualities of the people who are contesting, it is me. I have worked with Bawumia, I have worked with Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, and I know that we can trust Ghana in their hands,” he said.
President Akufo-Addo’s remarks come at a critical time as the NPP intensifies its campaign ahead of the December 7 elections.
