The Vice President of the Republic, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia is scheduled on Wednesday, February 7, 2024 to deliver a nation address outlining his vision and manifesto for Ghana after elected flagbearer of the ruling New Patriotic Party.
Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia was in November last year elected to lead the New Patriotic Party into the December 7 polls and in line with his vision to win the elections, he has chosen tomorrow as the day for Ghanaians to hear his economic plans for them.
He is expected to touch on the current condition of the country under his and President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo's leadership as well as highlight his future plans towards developing Ghana should the electorates give him the nod to be President.
The theme for Dr. Bawumia's speech is "Ghana’s Next Chapter: Selfless Leadership and Bold Solutions for the Future".
But Dr. Bawumia and his team have been advised to rescheduled the date for the speech as it will clash with major AFCON matches that may either interrupt the address or sway people's focus on the things that he has to say.
There will be semi-final matches between Nigeria and South Africa at 5:00 pm which is around the same time for Dr. Bawumia's speech and on the same day at 8 pm, the host nation of the AFCON, Cote D'Ivoire will be up against Dr. Congo.
These matches are crucial for soccer lovers and media stations will be running commentaries - since most of these commentaries are sponsored - which will conflict with the timing for the Veep's nation address.
In view of this, the host of Peace FM's "Kokrokoo" show, Kwami Sefa Kayi has suggested Dr. Bawumia's team revises the event in order not to lose the many Ghanaians who will choose the AFCON over the Vice President's important engagement with the citizenry.
"Apart from the conflicting radio stations who have to run commentary and so forth, you may also have a divided attention. So, free consultancy, shift it to Thursday", Sefa Kayi brought the attention of the Vice President and his team to tomorrow's game.

Blame the journalist of today for their poor job… they also make the same mistake and say Mahama to address the Nation which is not correct. It is only a sitting president that can address the state.
listen to a ***barred word*** attacking kweku, can we all be president? so people should not talk about Nana addo/bawumia bad governance unless they contest as president. myopic minds
He should go to the moon and back , we'll vote him and the NPP party out of power. No PR work will save him .A renowned liar who'll lie even when it's clear. Such a liar who's destroyed the nation. Ah Bawumia. You're as dumb as the party NPP.
Bawumia has done nothing for Ghana. He and Akuffo Addo are criminals. They have impoverished our country. As for Bawumia, they are pushing him to disgrace himself. As for you stomach zombie journalist Kwame Sefa Kayi, no one will listen to your Boss Bawumia. You have disgraced yourself as a journalist with your ffoolish bald head. You have no brains just like Bawumia. The way we are suffering in this country we should go and vote for him. Tell your family people to go and listen to him.
Kweku you should be ashamed of yourself! Criticizing Bawumia as if He is God turned man. If you believe you are more selfless and without blemish and can bring something better to Ghana go and contest the presidency as independent candidate. Talk is cheap. In any case, talking about Samira Bawumia and her dressing, before she became a second lady was she naked? Or using jute bags or Ghana must Go as clothes? Mention any vice president who has contributed to Ghanas development othe than Bawumia! Stop the propaganda!
He is addressing which nation? As what or who? Is he now the president to be addressing the nation or you guys don't know the import of that? By the way which credible and neutral person is concerned about a long fictional stories on selfless leadership when the speaker hasn't shown selflessness as a vice president. Where will a selfless leader get over a hundred million from to buy delegates? Even if they got it for free, selfless leaders will be sensitive to the happenings in their society and exercise good judgement or discretion on the utilisation of money. A person who has set the precedence of buying delegates is not futuristic and is very selfish and corrupt. His wife is carrying herself about as wasteful celebrity adorning irrelevant and extremely expensive accessories. Meanwhile, not only are the tax payers hit hard with so many nuisance taxes and levies, their hard earned investments have been touched by this insensitive government. And Bawumia is the head of the economy, he surely cannot be deemed a selfless person, or it is stolen speech?
