Bawumia represents the future; Mahama the past - Kow Essuman
Kow Essuman, Legal Counsel to President Akufo-Addo, has made a bold assertion about the future of Ghana’s leadership, stating that Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia represents the future of the country, while former President John Dramani Mahama symbolises the past.
His comments come in the context of ongoing political debates as the nation prepares for the upcoming 2024 general elections.
Mr Essuman argued that Dr. Bawumia embodies the qualities and vision necessary to propel Ghana into a new era of development and prosperity.
In a post on X on Monday, August 26, he highlighted the Vice President's track record in spearheading key initiatives, particularly in the areas of digital transformation and economic management.
According to Mr Essuman, Dr Bawumia’s forward-thinking approach and innovative policies have positioned him as the leader who can address the challenges of a modern Ghana and ensure sustainable growth.
In contrast, Mr Essuman described former President Mahama as a figure of the past whose leadership is associated with economic mismanagement and missed opportunities.
He criticised Mahama's tenure, pointing to issues such as the power crisis, rising public debt, and perceived corruption as evidence that the former President's policies were ineffective and detrimental to the nation.
The President’s legal counsel stressed that a return to Mahama's leadership would be a step backward for Ghana.
Mr Essuman's remarks reflect the broader narrative being promoted by the New Patriotic Party (NPP) as they seek to maintain their hold on power in the upcoming elections.
By positioning Dr. Bawumia as the candidate of the future, the NPP aims to contrast his dynamic leadership style with what they describe as the outdated and failed policies of the opposition.
"Bawumia represents the future. His main opponent represents the past. We are not talking about immediate past, oh. This is like almost a decade ago past. Two governments ago past."
"All I know is that we live our lives going forward, not going backwards," he posted.
