Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia exchanging pleasantries with former President J.A. Kufuor<\/strong><\/p>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n
Former President Kufuor believes Vice President Bawumia should be the next to lead the country after President Akufo-Addo.<\/p>\n
He sees him as man on a mission who is determined by destiny, considering how he came into politics and his performance over the years.<\/p>\n
This was when he spoke at the maiden address of Dr. Bawumia to outline his vision for the country in Accra Wednesday evening.<\/p>\n
Mr. Kufuor, who is credited by many Ghanaians for his sterling performance during his eight years as president of nation said, \u201cif anybody aspire to be a leader without command of the new technologies, like digitalisation and also without a deep grasp of geopolitics, old disciplines like say, economics, politics and all that, I tell you, he may be found wanting sooner or later.\u201d<\/p>\n
Interestingly, he said, \u201cThis young man (Bawumia) has these instruments under his belt, digitalisation, geopolitics and additionally, we\u2019ve seen him perform loyally under President Akufo-Addo, and he has also been in public view since he got selected as the vice presidential candidate (of NPP) in 2008.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mr. Kufuor added, \u201c\u2026 on the arena of presidency now, it seems this man (Bawumia) for this time is the best for Ghana, and I am appealing to the whole nation to give him the chance to come \u2026 he is truly the man of the moment and Ghana must accept him.\u201d<\/p>\n
The former president spoke highly of Dr. Bawumia, who is now the presidential candidate of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the upcoming general elections, saying, \u201cHe is hallmarked by humility and the temperance requisite for the job of leading Ghana on the way forward.\u201d<\/p>\n
He therefore noted that, \u201cGhana has come to the crossroads, and I am serious here, it is not the normal regular politics we want. We want a leadership with a vision, even in the complex world, a leader who will be able to match up with the new technologies to pick the requisite manpower.\u201d<\/p>\n
He therefore had no option but to appeal to the conscience of Ghanaians in entirety, \u201cPlease let us all accept him to continue (as president of Ghana).\u201d<\/p>\n
That, he said, was because \u201cWe happen to be living in times where the whole world is in a flux; leadership is very, very scarce, quality leadership\u201d since in his own words, \u201cHe (Bawumia) is a man of destiny.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd here, allow me, I am a party man\u2026, I tell you, we should be talking about the nation and not so much about the party.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe must get people of competence to work with him, to find our way out of the confusion our society and economy has been plunged into. I wouldn\u2019t blame any side, look at the track records of all parties and I tell you, you can\u2019t find one that can say that in their time they were excellent or superb, no. We are in a new situation,\u201d he pointed out.<\/p>\n
He thus insisted, \u201cThe time has come for this man, and I like the theme that is pasted on the wall \u2013 Bold solutions for the future.\u201d<\/p>\n
