In a forceful statement, NDC’s Kingsford Oduro has criticized Dr. Bawumia’s recent campaign message, asserting that the presidency should be treated with the seriousness it deserves rather than as a platform for comedic promises. Oduro’s warning comes in response to a campaign proposal suggesting that mobile phones would be distributed to the public, with payments made in installments of 1 to 2 cedis.
Oduro argued that such promises are emblematic of the same tactics used by Nana Akomea and Dr. Bawumia during their 2020 campaign. Back then, they assured the youth that their rent would be covered, a promise that, according to Oduro, was never fulfilled. He suggested that these kinds of deceptive promises undermine the credibility of political leaders and erode public trust in politicians.
Furthermore, Oduro emphasized that Dr. Bawumia, as the chairman of the economic management team, should focus on developing and presenting constructive strategies to revamp Ghana’s struggling economy. He criticized Bawumia’s policies, arguing that they have plunged the country into economic hardship. The outspoken politicain stressed the importance of genuine, actionable plans to address the economic challenges rather than resorting to superficial and impractical campaign promises.
Moreover, Oduro pointed out that Ghana is currently at a crossroads, facing severe economic challenges and widespread hardship. He warned that the country cannot afford to entertain what he termed as “comic utterances” from the NPP flag barer, as he give no hope and campaign carries no message but rather comedy as it has been the routine of his campaign tour aggravating the anger in the Ghanaian citizens, as these could exacerbate public frustration and potentially lead to civil unrest. The vibrant politician’s message emphasized the need for serious, thoughtful leadership that addresses the real issues facing the nation.
He finally urged Dr. Bawumia, his running and their team to focus on substantial, realistic policies that can genuinely improve the lives of Ghanaians. The presidency, he insists, is not a stage for comedians but a position that demands integrity, dedication, and a commitment to meaningful change. Ending that, the mate is confused.
