Vice President of policy think tank, IMANI Africa, Kofi Bentil, has orated that Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia is the best contender to lead the New Patriotic Party (NPP) after President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo’s tenure.
Although Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has not shown any signs of contending for the NPP’s flagbearership, Kofi Bentil is confident that he (Bawumia) will make a good leader.
Seemingly impressed by Dr Mahamadu’s strides as Akufo-Addo’s running mate, the private legal practitioner declared, “On my own assessment I believe presently, if you look across the political scene the best person to take over after President Nana Addo will be Mahamudu Bawumia.”
Kofi Bentil made the above assertion when he took his turn on the ’21 minutes with KKB’ show hosted by Ghanaweb’s Editor, Kwabena Kyenkyenhene Boateng.
Quizzed on whether Dr. Bawumia will have his vote should in case he makes his next political ambitions clear, he (Bentil) affirmed, “If he continues the way he is going. If he continues to give me the confidence he gives me, I might vote for him.”
Although he quickly added that he would vouch for any other person who gives him ‘greater confidence’ than Bawumia while showering praises on the Economic guru.
“He’s really come a very long way- people deteriorate, all kinds of things can happen. But I have no problem saying that if nobody emerges to give me greater confidence then absolutely I might vote for Mahamudu Bawumia,” Kofi Bentil averred
