Adutwum Takes NPP Running Mate ‘Campaign’ To Ashanti Traditional Council But Insiders Mock
[ad_1]
The Minister for Education, Dr Yaw Osei Adutwum, took his Running Mate antics to Kumasi as he appeared before the Ashanti Regional House of Chiefs chaired by Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu.
The Minister was spotted kneeling and showing what analysts say is “pretentious humility” to the Chiefs who make up the traditional council of the “kingmaker region”.
The former Deputy Minister who was elevated to full Minister claims to have gone to Kumasi to address the House on the Free SHS policy and its impact on the region.
He also claims to have been there to brief them on the model junior high schools under construction, STEM schools, WASSCE results under FSHS, National Standardised Test (NST), National Education Leadership Institute, Teacher Licensure Examination, the Academic Calendar, and others.
Insiders say the Bosomtwe MP is fighting with all his arsenals to be considered as running mate to the 2024 flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.
Using Chief Imam for Image Laundry
The Minister who had then allegedly been unable to account for a US$2Million World Bank project paid what he called a “courtesy call” on the National Chief Imam as part of a supposed “working visit” to prominent and key personalities within the Ghanaian society.
The issues surrounding the World Bank project cash were later amicably resolved.
The contract which had the Nigerian wife of Secretary to the President Nana Asante Bediatuo involved was revoked after the parties allegedly disagreed over the sharing of the money from the contract.
