Bawumia is becoming too desperate for NPP flagbearer position – NDC’s Sarfo Duku

A member of Legal Team of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the Ashanti Region, Sarfo Duku, says Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia is doing anything just for power.

Lawyer Duku’s comments come on the back of Dr. Bawumia’s tour of the Region in a bus with support from many bigwigs of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).

The NDC member believes that these are antics Dr. Bawumia wants to use to lure the unsuspecting public to vote for him to get power and it smacks of desperation.

“The desperation of our senior brother, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumi,a sometimes, you know, pushes him to engage in narratives and conducts that make anyone remotely related to him squirm. You feel ashamed,” he said.

“You feel embarrassed but perhaps maybe for political expediency, some quickly pick themselves up. But if you take out the politics and rationally analyse some of the things he says, you can’t help but sometimes feel ashamed if you are in any way related to this man.”

Lawyer Sarfo Duku said these on Wonsom, the weekend political show on Akoma FM with Aduanaba Kofi Asante Ennin.

“His desperation to be president is sometimes nauseating. He is willing to do and say anything for power. Just watch him from the days that he was running mate. He has no standards and he has no barriers when it comes to what he is required to do in order to get power,” the private legal practitioner added.

The Vice President of the Republic of Ghana, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, during the submission of his nomination forms, had disclosed that he had to engage in menial jobs to pay for his fees in Senior High School and universities.

“From Sakasaka Primary School to Tamale Secondary School to Oxford University to the Bank of Ghana as Deputy Governor and then to become Vice President of the Republic of Ghana, it has been an amazing journey and I thank God for how far he has brought me.

“I have been a by-day worker on farms during the holidays in Secondary school, I have been a warehouse boy even after finishing University, and I have been a mini truck driver. I was only able to pay fees for one term during my studies at Oxford University and I had to survive for the rest of my studies without paying fees, thanks to my colleagues. I only settled my fees in arrears after I worked following the completion of my PhD in Canada. I have also been a cleaner of dormitories in my university days in Canada, so I can say I have not had it easy at all,” Dr. Bawumia said at the NPP headquarters on June 16, 2023.

But Mr Sarfo Duku believes many people went through such difficulties in life as well and to bring it up sums up a desperation for power.

He criticised the Vice President for abandoning government business at the Jubilee House to engage in propaganda in Ashanti Region.

He noted that the Vice President and his team were wrongfully blaming the media for the party’s woes because none of the NPP’s “tricks” was working, intimating that the NPP Presidential hopeful was demanding media support since his campaign kept on stumbling.
