Bright Kankam Boadu, the head of Sports of Pure FM has criticized Vice President, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia for failing to honor his promise to Ghanaians.
Kankam Boadu holds that Bawumia has abandoned his promise of ‘arresting’ the cedi to focus on things that in his view should not be a priority.
He expressed the view that Trade and Industry Minister, Alan Kwadwo Kyerematen and Member of Parliament for Assin Central, Kennedy Agyapong will improve the New Patriotic Party’s electoral chances compared to Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia.
He noted on the Pure FM morning show that Kennedy Agyapong, despite his occasional blunders would be a good fit for the NPP.
He noted Kennedy Agyapong’s honesty and entrepreneurship skills are lacking in the country and that his reign as president could help the country.
“If NPP have Alan and Kennedy Agyapong is better. I don’t think Bawumia should go. I love Kennedy Agyapong because he is honest,” she said.
“I don’t want to talk about Bawumia because he has failed to fulfill his promises. He promised to arrest the dollar but the dollar keeps rising. What’s digitalization when the dollar keeps rising? When you promise the youth something, you have to deliver. It worries me that there is no third force”, he said.
