Today your authoritative leading nation’s website Connectghananews.com, devotes its editorial to a pivotal question facing the New Patriotic Party (NPP): why the NPP delegates should endorse Dr. Yaw Osei Adutwum, the distinguished former Education Minister to become the party’s presidential candidate and wrestle power from the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in 2028.
This write up forms the considered opinion of our editorial team and does not attempt to discriminate against nor undermine any source.
Dr. Yaw Osei Adutwum, known widely as a fine gentleman, a seasoned politician and an accomplished educationist has played a noble and transformative role in the country during the tenure of Nana Akufo Addo.
His tenure at the Ministry of Education has earned him widespread acclaim with many acknowledging him as one of the best Education Ministers the country has ever had since gaining independence in 1957.
Indeed before Akufo Addo engaged him to hold the mantle of the educational sector Ghana’s education system was widely perceived to be in disarray.
However through programmatic and systematic policies spearheaded by Dr. Adutwum, the country was able to restore its educational challenges, laying a robust foundation for future generations.
Today, it is not gainsaying or mere lip service as Ghanaians themselves are eyewitnesses to the huge achievements made under his leadership, achievements that speak volumes of his capacity and vision.
Dr. Adutwum also admirably doubles as a Member of Parliament for Bosomrwe Constituency in the Ashanti Region.
Beyond his specific portfolio, Dr. Adutwum supported the Akufo Addo administration in diverse ways to move the economy forward.
Whilst it is a prevailing sentiment that the Akufo Addo regime’s performance was less compelling ultimately and leading to the party being voted out, internal sources lament that had Dr. Adutwum been tasked to join the National Economic Team, then led by the former Vice President Dr. Bawumia, the victory of the party would have been more visible in the last elections.
Such an assertion gives a vivid account that Dr. Adutwum possesses an inherent ability to transform what is decayed into new, breathing life into ailing systems and sectors.
At the constituency level, Dr. Osei Yaw Adutwum is well praised and recognised for his indelible transformation efforts
His leadership extends beyond policy as he is also lauded for his immense contribution towards party organisation, unity, and peace.
Whilst Connectghananews.com strongly believes that all the five presidential hopefuls of the NPP are mature and capable individuals who can deliver, Dr. Osei Yaw Adutwum stands unique above all, demonstrating qualities that are particularly crucial for the task ahead.
This uniqueness stems from the fact that the former Education Minister has consistently complied with the dictates of a true democratic campaign.
He has distinguished himself by refraining from attacking opponents by choosing instead to articulately explain his policies, vision, and what he can do for the nation.
This approach stands in stark contrast to others who are perceived to be on the opposite side by engaging in rhetoric that deviates from constructive discourse.
Can a person whose interests lie in insults and attacks truly possess the ability to lead or transform an economy?
As the adage goes, a word to the wise is enough and they say, “show me your friend and I will tell you your character.
Dr. Adutwum’s conduct speaks volumes of his character and leadership style.
As our nationwide survey indicates, Dr. Osei Yaw Adutwum is a potential winner in the NPP presidential race come the appointed date, embodying the hope and vision for a united and prosperous future.
