A leading member of the governing New Patriotic Party in the United State of America Prince Kamal Gumah has said, he gives all his support to Vice President Dr. Mahamadu Bawumia ahead of the party’s upcoming congress. Apexnewsgh.com report
According to the former Youth Organizer’s aspirant, “It is true he has been around the Vice President ever since their election. “I am endorsing the Vice President”. He stressed
Prince Gumah said, he is a guy that believes in reality and his support for the Vice President has nothing to do with where he is coming from or his religion.
Making reference to a comment made by a certain former President who he claimed tag the NPP as a party that does not allow the minority in their own party, Prince Gumah said, …” the opportunity has come for we NPP to tell the entire world that we are open-minded people and we are ready to support anybody that is qualified and can be a President, as NPP we will support the person despite his or her background, religion, or anything and we are at that point. And I can tell you that NPP as a party, more than 80% of the party today think that it is time to kill that so-called Akan’s party once and for all. Not only that, more than 80% also believed that Dr. Bawumia is more than qualified.
Giving brief history about Vice President, Prince Gumah revealed that, Dr. Bawumia was working for NPP since the Kufour era. “When you are talking about the HIPIC, when we came to power in 2000, Dr. Bawumia was part of the team that went to the USA Washington DC to negotiate so that over $400million dollars’ worth of debt will be canceled and they got that debt canceled and people don’t know. Aside, Dr. Bawumia helped introduced the redenomination and that was when Former President Kufour saw the brilliant in him and bring him as Deputy Governor of the Bank of Ghana. People always say, he only came in 2008, which is a lie”. He revealed
He further revealed the role of the Vice President’s late father Mr. Bawumia who he said played his role well before handing over his position to Dombo due to his role as Secretary at Nayiri palace.
“Dr. Bawumia’s father was an interim chairman of NPP in the 60s before Dombo came and why Dr. Bawumia’s stepped down as an interim chairman for Dombo, was because then Kwame Nkrumah put a law that, if you are a chief or a traditional ruler, you cannot do politics. And then Dr. Bawumia’s father was a Secretary at the Nayiri. So, the father decided to step aside and let Dombo come in as chairman”.
“When the northern people were going to merge with the southerners, northern people went with almost 23 seats and Bussia came with only one seat. But as a northerner, we believed that he was qualified and his ideas were good for democracy and he was given the chance”.
“As we speak, I have respect for all the aspirants, they are all party members and they have all suffered for the party but amongst all of them, nobody defend and worked for this party in the last 20 years than Dr. Bawumia”. He stressed
“They are going to give him the nod. Dr. Bawumia is the only qualified person when you talk about sacrificing for the party, working for the party and everything, he stand tall and the grassroot are going to pay him base on that”.
Prince Gumah made the pronouncement during an engagement on Apexnewsgh.com’s Facebook Live flagship programme with Ngamegbulam Chidozie Stephen dubbed; “SPEAKOUT UPPER EAST” on Friday, December 16, 2022.
