The race for the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) presidential nomination is heating up, with aspirants engaging in a war of words. Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, a contender, made headlines with a statement that sparked controversy. “I may not be rich, but I have rich ideas. Poor people can also be Presidents of Ghana,” he said, seemingly targeting his critics and opponents.
Kennedy Agyapong, supporters, shot back at Dr. Bawumia, saying, “Ideas bring riches. So, use your ideas to be rich.” This witty response has left many Ghanaians talking, with some wondering if Dr. Bawumia’s approach is playing into the hands of his opponents.
The exchange highlights the competitive nature of the NPP primaries, where aspirants are vying for the party’s nod to become the next President of Ghana. As the campaign trail unfolds, it’s clear that the battle for the presidency will be fierce, with each candidate showcasing their unique strengths and weaknesses.
Dr. Bawumia’s statement has raised questions about his economic policies and how he plans to leverage his “rich ideas” to benefit Ghanaians. Meanwhile, Kennedy Agyapong’s supporters have sparked debate about the role of wealth and economic success in politics.
As the NPP primaries approach, Ghanaians will be watching closely to see which candidate emerges victorious. Will it be Dr. Bawumia’s “rich ideas” or Kennedy Agyapong’s business acumen that wins the day? Only time will tell.
