Election 2024: ‘Throw Bawumia out; he is the worst to have managed Ghana's economy’ — Kwakye Ofosu to Ghanaians

A leading Member of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Felix Kwakye Ofosu, says Ghanaians should vote against the NPP flagbearer Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia based on the worst depreciation of the Cedi.

The former Deputy Information Minister intimated that the Vice President has been the worst manager of the economy despite the promises and lectures on economic management in opposition.

“The Ghana cedi now exchanges at GHS 13.75 to a dollar. Recall that Bawumia,the flatfooted Head of the Economic Management Team, held lectures in opposition purporting to teach us how to manage the exchange rate. He is the worst to have managed the Ghanaian economy. Throw him out!!” he wrote via X on Monday, March 25.
