President Akufo-Addo’s continued presence in office has raised eyebrows, particularly in light of his previously stated support for Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia’s potential presidential candidacy.
Reverend J.B. Danquah, a retired Methodist Minister and former chaplain to the U.S. Military Hospital, has questioned the sincerity of President Akufo-Addo’s support for Bawumia. “If you truly want someone to succeed you, you would clear the path for them,” Reverend Danquah asserted. “Why remain at post when you acknowledge underperformance and have publicly stated your desire for Bawumia to take over?”
Reverend Danquah’s remarks point to a perceived inconsistency between President Akufo-Addo’s words and actions. He suggests that a true supporter would prioritize their ally’s success and create opportunities for them to gain experience and demonstrate their leadership capabilities.
The article highlights a growing sentiment among some observers that President Akufo-Addo’s continued presence in office may hinder Vice President Bawumia’s potential candidacy. Critics argue that this situation creates a complex political dynamic where the incumbent’s leadership overshadows his designated successor.
