Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia has become the crown jewel in the impending New Patriotic Party (NPP) Presidential race because he is humble and competent, the Member of Parliament (MP) for Takoradi Constituency, Hon. Kobby Okyere Darko Mensah has averred.
Taking a swipe at the MP for Assin Central, Hon. Kennedy Agyapong who is also in the race, Hon. Kobby Mensah indicated that vice President Bawumia is enjoying the support of the masses because they see him to be “humble” and “competent”.
Speaking on the Wontumi Morning Show, Hon. Kobby Mensah lashed out at Hon. Kennedy Agyapong for communicating like an opposition member of the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
“I don’t know if you now talk for the NDC or yourself”, he said as he condemned the unprovoked attack Hon. Kennedy Agyapong unleashed on vice President Bawumia.
During his campaign tour in Kintampo East on July 16, Mr. Agyapong expressed his dissatisfaction with the depreciation of the Cedi.
He cast aspersion on the vice President by stating that Bawumia claims to be an economic manager but is seeking budgetary support from the International Monetary Fund and still claims he is a “strategist.”
