The incessant attacks on vice president Dr. Bawumia by members of the opposition National Democratic Congress; especially, former president Mahama, is borne out of jealousy the Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party, has said.
Mr. Antwi Boasiako, has explained that the “competence” of vice president Dr. Bawumia makes members of the National Democratic Congress uncomfortable, hence their attacks on him.
He further noted that Mr. John Dramani Mahama had chosen to pick a fight with Dr. Bawumia mainly because the latter continues to demonstrate that “unlike the incompetent former president, there are thousands of Northerners who can manage top positions in government with ease without being corrupt”.
“Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia and President Akufo-Addo’s introduction of the mobile money interoperability service in the country has bore fruit but what can you say about former president Mahama? He is known to be corrupt and is shocked Dr. Bawumia isn’t committing the same erronous mistakes he made whilst in office. He wants Bawumia to award contracts to his siblings just like he did with Ibrahim Mahama but he has waited for long and sees no sign of that coming.”
Mr. Bernard Antwi-Boasiako popularly known as Chairman Wontumi continued that the New Patriotic Party is blessed to have a gem like Dr. Bawumia whose presence has contributed significantly to the steady growth of Ghana’s economy.
He warned that insults from the NDC, won’t distract the Vice President from performing his task and for that matter, they should humbly learn from him rather than attack him.
A former appointee of former president Mahama, Felix Ofosu Kwakye is on record to have recently described Vice President Bawumia as a “narrow-minded” person. He made the attack after the Vice President had said the NDC, did not introduce any social intervention programme in its eight-year rule.
According to Felix Kwakye-Ofosu, Dr. Bawumia’s comment demonstrates he lacks the technical know-how when it comes to issues of social intervention, saying “There is a fundamental flaw of the appreciation of social intervention by the Vice President”.
But Chairman Wontumi responded by indicating that “mercenaries like Ofosu Kwakye and others should be forgiven since he lacks wisdom and served under a regime that institutionalized corruption”.
He explained that unlike the experience under former president Mahama, president Akufo-Addo and Dr. Bawumia have managed to embark on several social intervention programmes to ease the sufferings of the people through the reduction of electricity and water tariffs, the abolition of nuisance taxes and expanding the welfare safety net by increasing the share of the District Assemblies Common Fund (DACF) allocated to Persons with Disability (PWDs).
Chairman Wontumi noted that Dr. Bawumia played a role in providing opportunities for 100,000 graduates to gain practical experience through the Nation Builders Corps.
After taking over from the NDC, Chairman Wontumi explained that the current government has managed to expand the school feeding programme from 1.6 million to 2.1 million and have also expanded the Livelihood Empowerment Against Poverty (LEAP) to cover an additional 150,000 people.
He praised Vice President Bawumia for ably supporting President Akufo-Addo and advised former President Mahama to stop hating on him.

@Sam, have you read the constitution very well? Do you know what is Indemnity Clause? This was smuggled into the constitution by your founder and his cabal of governance misfits. If you know this, you would not ask why Mahama has not been sent to court.This is why Bawumia will tell you NDCs that you don't read and that you guys are incompetent. Kudos Dr. Bawumia, Sam has really proven you right..... They don't read and therefore, they are incompetent
As a vice, Mahama was incompetent and corrupt. Forgot the plane whose accessories were more expensive than the actual plane? As a vice he was under investigation by his own boss. Remember Kwabena Adjei and co deemed him unfit for the presidency? And as a president he proved them right! He was so incompetent that he could not coin a common campaign message! After serving about 5 years as a president he still has no message for his primary electioneering campaign. What a pity? As for corruption, until the guinea fowls return from Burkina no one will listen to his followers. What is phenomenal about him is how one man can own patents for both corruption and incompetence! This is for the Guinness Book of Records and the latest version of The Book of Origins.
If mahama is indeed corrupt, and for two years you've been in government yet you have not brought one corrupt charge in court against him then you are very stoupid. How can brand someone corrupt and wield all the powers to jail him but you sit down and talk, are you not a fuuuuuuul or better still a liar? Barwumia is competent, really? His competence is why the cedi is running like Usain bolt. His competence has made market women and businessmen in general cry each day. His competence is why virtually every Ghanaian is complaining of times are hard. Gimifo wontumi.
Bawumia attacking and insulting Mahama = Imcompetence Mahama criticising Bawumia = Jealousy. Ghana is a funny place where people in government tickle themselves and laugh!
Apuuuuuiii
HOW CAN A FORMER PRESIDENT JEALOUS A CURRENT VICE PRESIDENT WHEN THEY ARE NOT EQUALS. BAWUMIA HAS NEVER BEEN A PRESIDENT AND YOU SHOULD UNDERSTAND THAT OR YOU PEOPLE DON'T UNDERSTAND THE MEANING OF THE JEALOUSY?. YOU SHOULD ALL GO BACK AND LEARN ENGLISH AND USE THE WORDS IN THEIR RIGHT CONTEXT. MAHAMA CAN ONLY BE COMPARED TO NANA ADDO AND NOT BAWUMIA WHO IS A VICE PRESIDENT.
MAHAMA DOESN'T COME NEAR GOVERNANCE EQUATION AT ALL. YOU CAN'T FACTOR HIM IN ANYTHING ABOUT GOVERNANCE. HE WAS JUST INCOMPETENT. WE NEED SERIOUS MINDED PEOPLE TO LEAD GHANA INTO PROSPERITY. NOT NDC.
As for Bawumia Mahama don’t try kuraaaa. He has captured our heart in the north. We won’t be blind again and follow you just because you say you come from here. At last another man from here to is ruling as we like his better than yours.
So Mahama can’t spot the difference between him and Dr Bawumia? Me teeli wo anaa me blow wo? Mahama is incompetent and Bawumia is simply competent when it comes to governance. But when it comes to corruption Bawumia can’t do it so he is incompetent and Mahama is competent with corruption. Have a nice day ndc
After taking ford as bribe, giving Ibrahim Mahama lots of concessions, buying jet under dubious circumstances, chopping our money with girls and John Dumelo. Allowing Dtan Dogbe to attack journalist, you have now sent Ofosu Kwakye to also start erh? Mahama your morda waaa
