The statement was not meant to flaw anybody. It was meant to make a statement about the structure of our economy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c\u2026Dr Mahamudu Bawumia\u2019s point has always been the fact we are running a Guggisberg economy, an economy that is import dependent, an economy that lacks the fundamentals that would ensure that we have the industries that are building and manufacturing the things that we use in this country so that we would have a very strong currency\u2026It is targeted at our economy,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>#GhanaPolls2024<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>#CitiVerify<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>#ElectionBureau<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p><em><strong>Explore the world of impactful news with CitiNewsroom on WhatsApp!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Click on the link to join the\u00a0\u00a0<span class=\"google-anno-t\">Citi Newsroom<\/span>\u00a0channel for curated, meaningful stories tailored just for YOU<\/strong>:\u00a0<strong>https:\/\/whatsapp.com\/channel\/0029VaCYzPRAYlUPudDDe53x<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"google-auto-placed ap_container\">\n<p><em style=\"background-color: #ffffff;\"><strong>No spam, just the stories that truly matter! #StayInformed #CitiNewsroom #CNRDigital<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dennis Miracles Aboagye, the spokesperson for the 2024 Bawumia campaign team, has stated that Dr Mahamudu Bawumia\u2019s economic performance as Vice President surpasses that of former President John Mahama.
