The office of Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has denied claims by Professor Stephen Adei that the Vice President moves around the country with a 16-vehicle long convoy.<\/p>\n

The academic has warned he will embark on a one-man campaign against the government if the Vice President does not move away from his elaborate convoy.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd so far the government is doing well except that if you go to the right quarters tell them that the next time I see Bawumia or any of them travelling with 16 Four-Wheel-Drives and then occupying the two lanes so that coming and going should stop, I am going to do a one-man crusade,\u201d the former GIMPA boss said at the 20th-anniversary celebrations of Morrison and Associations (an international audit firm).<\/p>\n

Reacting to the claim, the office of Mr. Bawumia said: \u201cThe Office would like to make it clear that the Vice President and his team use a maximum of 7 vehicles on trips outside Accra and not 16. The 7 vehicles include a leading police vehicle, security detail, Protocol, the media team and an ambulance. On this particular trip to Cape Coast, the Vice President used a total of 7 cars\u201d.<\/p>\n

Below is the full statement<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

THE VICE PRESIDENT USES A MAXIMUM OF 7 CARS, NOT 16 FOR TRAVELS OUTSIDE ACCRA.<\/p>\n

The attention of the Office of the Vice President, Alhaji Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, has been drawn to a recent media publication following comments by Professor Stephen Adei, former Rector of GIMPA, that the convoy of the Vice President on a recent trip to Cape Coast consisted of 16 SUVs.<\/p>\n

The Office would like to make it clear that the Vice President and his team use a maximum of 7 vehicles on trips outside Accra and not 16. The 7 vehicles include a leading police vehicle, security detail, Protocol, the media team and an ambulance. On this particular trip to Cape Coast, the Vice President used a total of 7 cars.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

It should however be noted that on many occasions (including funerals) while on a trip, several other people, including the Police Commander of the area, Ministers, MPs, MMDCEs, CEOs and party officials may decide to meet and accompany the Vice President on arrival.<\/p>\n
