He said Dr. Bawumia, after supervising the near-collapse of the economy, has gone mute on the economy which was his claim to fame, and now turned himself into a comical digitalization champion, all in a bid to distance himself from the political ramifications of abysmal performance.
The communications officer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Sammy Gyamfi, has called on Ghanaians to reject Vice President, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia in the 2024 general elections.

In an X post, Sammy Gyamfi said when Dr. Bawumia got the opportunity to manage the economy as the Chairman of the Economic Management Team, he turned out to be catastrophic and supervised the most abysmal economic performance in the history of the Fourth Republic.
According to him, Dr. Bawumia waxed lyrical about the economy and propounded lofty textbook theories on prudent economic management when he was in opposition.
He noted that it is a big shame despite the unprecedented vote-buying and personal phone calls to delegates, a significant number of the NPP delegates totaling 74,236 and constituting a whopping 39% voted against his candidature in the just-ended NPP presidential primaries.

Sammy Gyamfi added that Ghanaians currently find themselves in a total mess where hopelessness, recklessness, bankruptcy, hardships, corruption, and nepotism define the current state of Ghana.
He said Ghana needs change in 2024, and the change must take the form of a total reset and thus can only be brought about by an honest, visionary, and experienced leader the citizens can trust.
