Bawumia\u2019s policies, particularly his focus on training the youth in entrepreneurial and digital skills, are good. If you don\u2019t want this, what do you want? So I plead with you, he is not just coming for the NPP but for the whole country,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mr Kufuor highlighted Dr Bawumia\u2019s approach to inclusive governance, lauding his efforts to address the suffering of Ghanaians:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHe is coming for an inclusive government. His policies will alleviate the suffering of Ghanaians. I have listened to all those talking about their policies, but I haven\u2019t seen anyone with policies as good as Bawumia\u2019s.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The former President\u2019s remarks came amid backlash over his endorsement of Dr Bawumia, with critics, including Movement for Change flagbearer Alan Kwadwo Kyerematen, urging him to abstain from public endorsements. Detractors argued that Mr. Kufuor\u2019s status as a statesman required neutrality on election matters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a defiant response, Mr Kufuor defended his position during an event at the Ofori Panin Palace in the Abuakwa South constituency, where he was accompanied by NPP running mate Dr Matthew Opoku Prempeh. He reiterated his belief in Dr Bawumia\u2019s leadership capabilities and urged Ghanaians to support the NPP in the 2024 elections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI am facing criticism for voicing my opinions on national matters due to my position as a statesman. Experience and wisdom are often associated with age,\u201d Mr. Kufuor remarked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He further underscored his political allegiance and Dr Bawumia\u2019s track record, stating:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe New Patriotic Party (NPP) is my political affiliation, and it was through this party that I attained the presidency. Additionally, my child, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, has been elected through the party.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cDuring my administration, he was a member of the Bank of Ghana team and demonstrated remarkable performance during a challenging period when Ghana was in financial distress. Their efforts were instrumental in revitalizing the economy at that time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mr Kufuor\u2019s endorsement marks a significant boost for Dr Bawumia\u2019s campaign, reinforcing the NPP\u2019s message of continuity and progress as the country heads to the polls in 2024.<\/p>\n\n                <p><strong>DISCLAIMER: <\/strong>The Views, Comments, Opinions, Contributions and Statements made by Readers and Contributors on this platform do not necessarily represent the views or policy of Multimedia Group Limited.<\/p>      \n               \n <!-- Post Tags -->\n                \n\n                        \n\n    \n                                 \n                                             \n                    <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former President John Agyekum Kufuor has commended the policies of Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, the New Patriotic Party\u2019s (NPP) presidential candidate, describing them as pivotal for Ghana\u2019s development.
