The NPP’s Communications Director has rejected suggestions that former Vice President is attempting to distance himself from the Akufo-Addo government’s shortcomings during the party’s ongoing ‘Thank You’ tour.
Richard Ahiagbah’s comments follow growing scrutiny of Dr Mahamudu Bawumia’s statements on the tour, with some critics alleging that he may be trying to avoid responsibility for the NPP administration’s perceived failures.
Responding to these claims, Ahiagbah defended Bawumia’s tone, explaining that his messaging should be understood as inclusive and reflective of a collective legacy rather than an effort to disassociate from past decisions.
“I don’t think he is distancing himself. It’s a way of speaking…If you listen to him, you’ll realise he is speaking from a collective standpoint,” Mr Ahiagbah explained during an appearance on Channel One’s Newsroom on Monday, April 28.
Ahiagbah further emphasised that Bawumia remains committed to the administration’s policies and direction, having played a pivotal role in shaping governance.
“There is no way Dr. Bawumia will distance himself because we are all together in that decision. If he made any attempts to distance himself, perhaps I would ask questions myself,” he remarked.
The NPP communications chief also questioned the rationale behind any potential political gain from distancing oneself, asserting that Bawumia’s approach is grounded in unity, collective responsibility, and a vision for the future.
“What benefit would that bring to anybody to want to distance himself from collective efforts?” he queried.
