Frederick Opare-Ansah, Campaign Manager for Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia in the 2024 presidential election, has stated that the former Vice President has not distanced himself from the shortcomings of the previous government.
This comes amid concerns that Dr. Bawumia had sought to dissociate himself from the failings of the administration he served.
Speaking in an interview on Citi Prime News on Monday, April 28, Opare-Ansah said, “I am yet to hear the former Vice President and our flagbearer speak anywhere and dissociate himself from actions of government. He hasn’t done that anywhere.”
He emphasised that Bawumia’s frequent use of the pronoun “we” in his speeches reflects an acceptance of collective responsibility for the government’s actions.
“In all his speeches, the pronoun that has been used most widely has been ‘we.’ He tells them that all research has shown that, including the research conducted by people who went to the base of the constituency level, at the polling stations, to interact with the people, and what they have found is that we didn’t listen to them while we were in government.”
“They said we should reshuffle, but we did not reshuffle. He didn’t say you said Mr. A should reshuffle and Mr. A didn’t reshuffle. He said you said you don’t like the E-levy, and we did not listen to you. We brought E-levy,” Opare-Ansah pointed out.
