Henry Kwabena Kokofu, the Chief Executive Officer of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and an ardent member of Dr. Bawumia's campaign team, has admonished his colleagues in other camps to stop accusing them of following the Vice President for their parochial gains.
The EPA Chief Executive Officer has disclosed that he is a polling agent in the Ashanti Region for Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia and strongly believes the Veep will win the November 4 presidential election of the New Patriotic Party.
Dr. Henry Kokofu, who has secured a 7-day leave from his official duties as he revealed to Nana Yaw Kesseh on Peace FM's morning show "Kokrokoo", cautioned the delegates, members, and supporters of the party to watch their reactions during and after the election.
"If you love Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia and the New Patriotic Party, let your utterances and celebrations be in moderation. It is a path of reconciliation," he said.
Having advised the party against engaging in violence and other activities that will have negative effects on the New Patriotic Party going into the 2024 elections, the EPA boss debunked claims that the followers of Dr. Bawumia want to secure positions in his government.
"If any person tells you that those following Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia are doing so because of their selfish interest, because the person wants to secure his position, there is no iota of truth in it. The appointing authority who gives someone a job can wake up tomorrow and say, my friend, go home...So, your security of job doesn't depend on your campaign for somebody", he said.
"In any case, if you have the right to follow someone on his campaign tour, why don't you accord the same respect to your colleague who has decided to look elsewhere?", he asked.

@edem kudzo, it's always difficult understanding how Bawumia and his followers reason o. Who was going to have the audacity to sack or publicly displace the only few ministers or top appointees who followed Alan? Won't that be too obvious and terrible for Akufo Addo who has consistently upheld his top appointees who were even caught stealing? On the contrary, behind closed doors, do you know what those people are going through in the hands of the government? No sane people looking out for Ghana's good will even think about another Bawumia / Nana Addo government. Reasoning Ghanaians are far more than those on the other side and they will humiliate you people in 2024 God willing!
There were ministers of state who followed Alan and still working,no one threatened them neither sanction nor fired them,coz I think NPP have matured in democracy,it believes in competition and diversity...in fact,in competition lies excellence.And again,all those following each and every aspirant are adult/mautre, they are self-made people so it's an insult to their intelligence to even say that...so should one also say those following Ken is coz of money, since it's obvious he wouldn't win they're just following him for money!
These politicians have all the certificates like PhDs but they cannot do anything meaningful for themselves apart from perpetual dependence on government salary. Why do you fear to leave the government sector or politics? These politicians just lack ideas to do something for themselves.
Then you are following him because you lack foresight and don't mean well for Ghana. How can any well meaning person root for Bawumia to become Ghana's president at a time his collaboration with Nana has brought Ghana to her knees? We need serious minded people to come and lay foundation for the rebuilding of the collapsed Ghana.
I thought Hon Kokofu would tell the truth, how can an old man like you be a polling agent for Dr Bawumia? Are you not ashamed of yourself as a chief executive? Will you be a polling agent for Dr Bawumia in 2024? No matter what you do, the delegates will massively vote for Hon Ken because you guys have failed the country and the party. Dr Bawumia will definitely lose the election . You guys want to protect your jobs after 2024 but isn’t going to work. Delegates please vote for Hon Ken who has fought for you since 2017. Delegates please, please please, don’t make a mistake which you will regret one day. A vote for Hon Ken is a vote for development, a vote for Hon Ken is a vote for jobs, a vote for Hon Ken is a vote discipline in the country. A vote for Hon Ken is a vote for economic freedom but a vote for the system candidate is a vote for gallamsey, corruption, unemployment, hardship in the country. If the fundamentals are weak, the exchange rate will expose you. 1 dollar was 4 cedis under president Mahama but he was described by the system candidate as incompetent, when the competent man took over from 4 cedis to a dollar, now 1 dollar is 12 cedis under the competent one. Very shameful to Hon kokofu to support Dr Bawumia. Stomach politicians who just think about themselves and not the country. Aren’t you people ashamed as leaders in government? Delegates please vote for Hon Ken.
