The representative for the 2024 Bawumia campaign team, Dennis Miracles Aboagye, has claimed that Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has demonstrated exceptional performance as Vice President, surpassing that of former President John Mahama.
Dennis Miracles Aboagye emphasized that Dr. Bawumia has achieved significant milestones in his role, earning recognition as the most prominent and influential vice president in the history of Ghana’s democracy.
During an appearance on Citi FM’s Eyewitness News on Monday, November 4, 2024, Dennis Miracles Aboagye remarked that under Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia’s commendable leadership, the government has successfully implemented effective strategies to tackle the economic difficulties faced by Ghanaians due to the depreciation of the Ghana cedi.
Additionally, Aboagye acknowledged the existing challenges related to the Ghana cedi but contended that its performance has been notably better during the Akufo-Addo/Bawumia administration compared to the previous Mahama administration.
He also reflected on Dr. Bawumia’s well-documented comments made during Mahama’s time in office.
You can engage in all the propaganda you want, but if the fundamentals are weak, the exchange rate will expose you.
Miracles Aboagye observed that during that period, the exchange rate was approximately GH¢4 per dollar. Dennis Aboagye conveyed his optimism regarding Dr. Bawumia’s prospects in the forthcoming December 2024 elections, asserting that Dr. Bawumia distinguishes himself from all other candidates on the ballot.
Between Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia and John Mahama, the two persons and the two governments, we have evidence of a government that has deliberately put in place mechanisms and structures to ensure that we rebuild these weak fundamentals to ensure that we will be able to fix this permanently.
Dennis Abogaye remarked on Dr. Bawumia’s well-known stance regarding the exchange rate, highlighting the underlying weak fundamentals.
He’s (Bawumia) always insisted that that statement he made then is still true and remains and it hasn’t changed. The statement was not meant to flaw anybody. It was meant to make a statement about the structure of our economy.
Dr Mahamudu Bawumia’s 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 . . . it is targeted at our economy.
