Bawumia, Akufo-Addo are siamese twins bounded by incompetence and corruption – Sammy Gyamfi

National Communications Officer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Sammy Gyamfi has argued that Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia can’t be exornerated from blame for the mess created by President Akufo-Addo’s government.

According to him, the Vice President and the President are siamese twins bounded by incompetence and corruption.

“It is an incontrovertible fact that Bawumia, is responsible for the unprecedented economic mess Ghanaians are facing now. He and Akufo-Addo are siamese twins bounded by incompetence and corruption. No amount of political subterfuge or lies can change this fact,” Sammy Gyamfi said in a statement.

This comes after Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia said in his National Address last week that he did not have decision-making powers as Chairman of the Economic Management Team.

For Sammy Gyamfi, the Vice President has shown hypocrisy at the highest level and must not be taken seriously.

“Again, Bawumia on his own website claims that he is the chair of the EMT responsible for shaping government policies and guiding the implementation of government policies. That clearly is not a mere advisory role.

“Lastly, recall that Bawumia in opposition directed 170 questions to then Vice President, Amissah Arthur who was head of the EMT at the time. If Vice Presidents are mere mates and advisors, why did Bawumia direct his 170 questions to Amissah Arthur? Hypocrisy at its apogee,” Sammy Gyamfi said.

The National Communications Officer in the statement urged Ghanaians to avoid Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia and choose ex-President John Dramani Mahama in the 2024 general elections.
