Bawumia Were In Ato Forson’s Position Ghana Would Have Collapsed By Malik Adama

NDC National Vice Chairman aspirant Malik Adama has claimed that Ghana would have collapsed if former Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia were currently occupying the position of Finance Minister held by Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson.Kasapa 102.5 FM report of 12 November 2026; statement by Malik Adama, NDC National Vice Chairman Aspirant.

Speaking in comments reported on 12 November 2026, Adama contrasted the economic management of the current administration with that of the previous New Patriotic Party government. He argued that the present Finance Minister has demonstrated greater competence in stabilising the economy under difficult conditions.

According to Adama, the challenges inherited by the National Democratic Congress government required careful and pragmatic handling. He maintained that Dr. Ato Forson’s approach has helped prevent a deeper economic crisis, while suggesting that Dr. Bawumia’s previous policies and style of management would have worsened the situation.

The remarks form part of the ongoing political debate over economic performance and responsibility for Ghana’s fiscal difficulties. The NPP has consistently blamed the current government for the state of the economy, while the NDC attributes the problems to the legacy of the previous administration.

By making such a direct comparison, Adama is seeking to reinforce the NDC’s narrative that its team is better equipped to manage the economy. The statement also serves to elevate the profile of Finance Minister Ato Forson while criticising the economic credentials of the former Vice President, who remains a leading figure in the opposition.

Political observers note that such sharp contrasts are typical of Ghana’s polarised political environment, where both sides frequently claim superior economic management skills. As the country continues to navigate economic recovery, claims of this nature are likely to feature prominently in public discourse.

For now, Malik Adama’s assertion has added another layer to the contest over who is better placed to steward Ghana’s economy.
