Dr Mahamudu Bawumia and Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo
Media personality Omanhene Kwabena Asante has described Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the 2024 Flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), as a victim of circumstances.
Speaking in an interview on Wontumi TV, monitored by GhanaWeb on Monday, March 31, 2025, he stated that the political fortunes of the former Vice President were tied to the legacy of his boss, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, during the 2024 elections.
“If you are a student of politics and analyse the Ghanaian situation, you will realise that Dr Bawumia was a victim of circumstances. How he can build on this victimisation is another issue.
“The sins of Nana Addo affected his Vice President, and you cannot run away from that. If Prof. Naana Jane decides to run for president, it will be on the back of John Mahama’s legacy,” he added.
He also criticised the Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo-led administration for being indifferent to the plight of Ghanaians during his tenure.
“Look, regarding Nana Addo’s legacy, there was no reshuffle, and it was a government that was indifferent to the plight of Ghanaians,” he concluded.
