'COCOBOD is on the verge of collapse? I'm not aware of that'. This is the person who wants to become President of Ghana. The chairman of our economic management team claims he's not aware of a state agency in charge of one of our cash cows as a country. pic.twitter.com/v8R0TPXqgL

The whole campaign posturing of Bawumia is nothing but directly attacking the personality of Mahama. Mahama won’t make you president. Ghanaians will. Tell Ghanaians how you’ve improved their lives in the last 8 years. Sell your achievements. Mahama is not your problem. The… https://t.co/Tp7Zjrmqyl

Wallahi Bawumia as President in 2025 would be a crime and you have a responsibility as a citizen to help prevent crime or report criminal activity.

I don’t even mean this offensively but I think Bawumia’s an idiot. It might be a fact.

What Bawumia says is not annoying like the way he laughs after his utterances

Cocoa production is at its lowest in 13 years.

Cocoa farmers have been complaining about how Galamseyers are threatening their livelihood

A new European Union deforestation regulation is likely to create more chaos

Bawumia skipping the Cocobod question is pretty serious

I don’t know who proposed this idea that Bawumia should do this, meet the press, but they’ve done him a great disservice. What a shit show. The man is clueless 😂. Always diverting with “I’ll meet ABC to know what is happening” 😂. Shameful

When will Ghanaian politicians admit that being the Vice President does NOT necessarily mean you MUST become the President one day? Someone like Bawumia should have just found something else to do with his life after the Vice Presidency.Not all mates must become driver’s one day

What if Bawumia becomes President and he comes to say as a president, if he solves everything, what will he come and do in his second term as president ??

When Bawumia said Mahama left an “abysmal” economic record, i was thinking he would compare their record in inflation, exhange rate and government borrowing but then he decided to speak about Health insurance scheme, dumsor. libraries, toilets and astro turfs built.
