After lauding his exploits and ‘prophesying’ into his political life, former President John Agyekum Kufuor, has implored the citizenry, to accept Dr. Mahamadu Bawumia, as he is the “man of the moment.”
The ex President says Dr. Bawumia is the man to turn the fortunes of Ghana around, asking that he should be given the chance to prove what he has got for the nation.
Speaking prior to a speech for the Vice President to outline his vision for Ghanaians Wednesday, February 07, 2023, John Kufuor indicated that what he saw Dr. Bawumia doing for the NPP and the nation some two decades ago bolstered his confidence in what he could do for the state, should he keep up with what he started as a research assistant to then governor of the Bank of Ghana.
“Give him the chance to come. I have a strong feeling he is truly the man of the moment and Ghana must accept,” John Kufuor noted, also describing him as a man of destiny.
This, according to John Kufuor, was after his second meeting with Bawumia, following their earlier encounter in London where he ‘prophesied’ unto his life.
“This young man delivered a paper at an international conference of giants from the city of London in financial wealth and some powerful people of governments.
“But there was something in his statement and about him. In fact till then, I hadn’t spoken with him ever before. But I sent somebody; “go and call me that young man”, he came, I congratulated him and I don’t know what came in me. Prophetically I told him, “carry on like that and you’ll go far.”
“Then in 2008 when I was stepping down as the party had chosen then candidate Akufo-Addo, who later became President and somehow Akufo-Addo named the same young man to be his running mate. Bawumia was not even in the main realm of the party,” he disclosed at the event.
“…then at a party meeting at the Alisa Hotel, I met him again and I remembered my first meeting with him in London and what I told him then it dawned on me again to, –call it prophesy, –I told this party just to allow this man to carry on, man of destiny,” he revealed.
Prior to becoming flag bearer of the NPP, Dr. Bawumia gave so many lectures which according some political pundits, made the magic for the NPP to flip power from the then ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC).
This address, is the first he is going to give after assuming the office of the party’s presidential candidate.
May the Lord be your help as you step out into your own day – KON tells Bawumia
