Provost for College of Humanities and Social Sciences KNUST, Prof Charles Marfo has cautioned the Vice President and Flagbearer for the ruling New Patriotic Party to distance his campaign from President Nana Akufo-Addo if he hopes to win the upcoming Presidential election.
Prof Charles Marfo advise comes as some Ghanaians have taken swipe at the President for distorting Ghana’s history to favour his family members.
According to Prof Charles Marfo, Dr Bawumia’s campaign team has apparently intentional distanced themselves from the President, a step he believes is strategic.
He said “Even some vibrant people in the party have seen this, so for me am not so surprised the core team of Bawumia campaign they hardly come along with him.
He added “It’s intentional, but if it’s not intentional, am telling Dr Bawumia campaign it should be intentional”.
Speaking in an interview with Millicent Safo-Adu on Bresosem at Abusuafm, Prof Marfo revealed that Dr Bawumia has the chance of winning this election looking at how the opposition National Democratic Congress is struggling to gain momentum in their campaign stating “If you see how the NDC is struggling with their campaign. Bawumia has a clear chance of winning”.
He warned Dr Bawumia to be mindful of the company he keeps on the stumping tour, urging him to avoid standing on the same campaign platform with individuals who may irritate voters with their choice of words.
“If he wants to win, he should not be standing on a platform with personalities who will come and use words that will only irritate people”, he stated
He further urged President Akufo-Addo to repent from the way he conducts his affairs, otherwise, when he is out of power, even within his own party, he will hardly see people coming to greet him. He believes this kills a lot of people
