Palgrave Boakye Danquah, Government Spokesperson on Governance and Security, has described the Vice President, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia as the person with the right brain and best character to be elected as the next president of Ghana.
According to Palgrave, Ghana has never had an astute economist like Dr. Bawumia, who is the 2024 Presidential aspirant for the New Patriotic Party.
The Government’s spokesperson made these revelations while speaking on TV3’s "Big Issues" on Monday, February 5. 2024.
Mr. Boakye Danquah said “Dr. Bawumia is the best economist that Ghana would have, that Ghana has had, and the future of Ghana.
“I see the media houses and even the NDC have a lot of admiration for the flag bearer of the NPP and I am glad because if we need to put proper economic knowledge and proper economic value systems in place, John Mahama comes nowhere near close, he comes nowhere. It is clear that Dr. Bawuma is the right person to lead this country, he has the right brain, the right mindset, the right position, and the right character.”
“On Wednesday, 7th February, Dr. Bawumia is going to state a clearer position of the policy directives of the campaign of the future that Ghana so deserves, no amount of words from the NDC, no amount of tagging him with statements that he’s made in the past is going to change what the Ghanaian people think of such a noble gentleman of repute”, he added.
Mr. Boakye Danquah further noted that, Dr. Bawumia’s address is expected to focus more on his digitalization agenda for the country.
The theme for the upcoming address is “Ghana’s Next Chapter: Selfless Leadership and Bold Solutions for the Future.” The address is scheduled to take place at the Kofi-Ohene Konadu Auditorium of the University of Professional Studies, Accra (UPSA).
He again noted that the Vice President’s speech is expected to also emphasize leveraging technology, data, and systems to foster inclusive economic growth.
‘’Dr. Bawumia aims to position Ghana as a digital hub for Africa, narrowing the digital divide and applying digital technology and artificial intelligence to transform sectors such as healthcare, education, and public service delivery,’’ Palgrave said.
Speaking on the digitalization agenda, Mr. Palgrave Boakye Danquah said, ‘’since assuming office in 2017, Mr Bawumia has championed a plethora of digital transformation initiatives, especially within the public sector. This drive won him accolades like “digitalization man” or “digital Bawumia.”
Some of his digital initiatives include Ghana.gov payment options, mobile money interoperability, and GhanaPost GPS, amongst others.
The Vice President’s long awaited comes off on Wednesday, 7th February, 2024. This event will host the rank and file of the governing New Patriotic Party.
