The President of Ghana, Nana Addo Dankwah Akufo-Addo, has retreated his belief in the vice president and the flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, to assume the presidency after him.
According to him, the unwavering support and tireless efforts of Dr. Bawumia have rightfully earned his place and will receive full support for his presidential ambitions following the conclusion of his term.
President Akufo Addo also applauds Dr. Bawumia for his contributions to the advancement of Muslim communities, stressing the importance of maintaining this momentum.
During the national Eid celebration on Thursday, April 11, President Akufo-Addo reiterated his unwavering confidence in Dr. Bawumia’s leadership capabilities and dedication to the nation’s service.
Recognizing Dr. Bawumia’s historic nomination as the New Patriotic Party’s first Muslim flagbearer, President Akufo-Addo emphasized the significance of this milestone.
“Fortunately, the Vice President, Alhaji Mahamudu Bawumia, is the elected flagbearer of my party, the New Patriotic Party (NPP), indeed, the first of the Muslim faith to occupy that important position, and is in pole position, by the grace and benediction of Almighty Allah, to take over from me on January 7, 2025, Insha Allah.”
“As a Muslim, I do not doubt that he will continue to work with you to enhance the benefits of the Fund for the development of Zongo communities. I have no doubt that I have been an inclusive president. I plead with you to uphold this principle of inclusivity for the equitable development of our country,” President Akufo-Addo said.
