“Dr. Bawumia is the very one who can break the ‘8’.”.
“He has worked with President Akufo-Addo for the past eight years. He knows where we started from and where we are now. So he has a story to tell.

“Apart from Dr. Bawumia, nobody can tell the story of the government, and that is why we are all supporting him,” she added.
Hawa Koomson also dismissed the notion that Bawumia is not a decision-maker in the government. She said that while he is the vice president, he is not a rubber stamp and can make his own decisions when he is in charge.
