Minister for Works and Housing, Francis Asenso Boakye is urging Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia not to settle on persons who are paying monies to lobbyists to do their bidding.
Though the Bantama lawmaker failed to name persons suspected to be engaged in such acts, he indicated that there was no need for people to pay or try to use powerful individuals to influence Bawumia’s decision to choose them as his running mate ahead of the 2024 polls
“I don’t see it as anything big. If I was Dr Bawumia I wouldn’t choose a candidate who will pay people to lobby for him or make noise in the media for attention. Me if I’m the candidate and you do that, I won’t choose you”, Asenso Boakye said.
Asenso Boakye also noted that whoever is chosen is only going to assist the Vice President Dr Bawumia when he is elected president. “So, we don’t have to make the running mate matter a big deal”, he advised.
Asked on Kumasi-based Angel Fm if he would accept to be a running mate to the Vice President if offered the opportunity, he responded “There are a lot of people in the New Patriotic Party (NPP) who have served the party well and stand a better chance of becoming a running mate to the flagbearer Dr Mahamadu Bawumia”
“For now, I’m serving Bantama. And of course, we’ll cross that bridge when we get there. But also, there are a lot of people in the party who have served well and deserve that position and I believe they can do that job better”
