NPP race: Dr Adutwum is not short like Akufo-Addo; he is tall and humble like Kufuor - Team member
Patrick Okyere Afriyie, a member of the communication team of NPP flagbearer aspirant Dr Yaw Osei Adutwum, has said the former education minister is tall and humble like former President John Agyekum Kufuor.
The internal election, which is set to take place in January 2026, will witness the former education minister go in stiff competition with former Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, Kennedy Agyapong, Kwabena Agyei Agyapong and Bryan Acheampong.
Speaking as a special guest on Hot 93.9FM’s political talk show, ‘This Week In Parliament’ hosted by Bonohemaa, Patrick Okyere Afriyie, while explaining why delegates of the party should vote Dr Adutwum as the flag bearer of the party, said: “One of the reasons delegates must vote for Dr Adutwum is because he is like former President Kufuor. He is just like him... He is very humble like Kufuor and very tall like him.”
Upon persuasion by the host Bonohemaa, for Patrick Okyere to explain why he didn’t liken the former education minister to the immediate past president Nana Akufo-Addo, he quipped: “It is because Akufo-Addo is short. I am looking at their heights. Dr Adutwum is tall like Kufuor, and he is also humble like Kufuor.”
