A Member of the Upper East Regional Council of Elders of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) Mr. Robert Ajene has described Dr. Bawumia as a ‘salt in the soup’ as far as New Patriotic Party is concerned. Apexnewsgh.com report
Speaking to Ngamegbulam Chidozie Stephen of Apexnewsgh.com on Tuesday August 16, 2022, Mr. Ajene said, due to the activeness and ideas brought on board by Dr. Bawumia, he automatically become a shining star boy of the governing New Patriotic Party.
Describing Dr. Bawumia, Mr. Ajene said: “He was like salt because without salt the soup doesn’t taste well. He was shining more than people who even proposed they formed the party and they were there before him, he started shining, working very hard, attracting attention pushing the party to the light, and the NPP was beginning to shine in his present”. He maintained
He added: “When Bawumia got into this party in 2005 that is after Kufour, he wasn’t a politician, he was an excellent banker that this country has ever produced. Wherever Bawumia is he shines and as soon as he got into NPP he started something that we those in the party found credible and admirable”.
Mr. Ajene was responding to the comment made against the Northern people by Hopeson Adorye on Saturday after a health walk organized by supporters of Alan John Kyerematen.
Mr. Adorye was captured on camera saying: “Whenever a Danquah leads the party, the Busia side steps aside but there is a Dombo (for running mate), and whenever a Busia lead, the Danquah side steps aside but there is a Dombo (for running mate). As for the Dombos they are always there (for running mate).
“If it went to Danquah, came to Busia, went back to Danquah, where should it go now, is it not Busia?” Adorye asked.
However, Mr. Ajene in his response as one of the elders of the governing party said, there was no such tradition in the party and the party constitution as Hopeson Adorye claimed.
