Bawumia Was An Unknown Northerner; He Should Be Grateful If He Loses Flagbearership – Arthur Kennedy
Vice president Dr Mahamudu Bawumia was an unknown Northerner when he was picked to balance the ticket of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
According to Dr Arthur Kennedy, a leading member of the NPP, the assertion that the party does not want Northerners as a presidential candidate is bogus and ‘untrue’.
To him, for an unknown Northerner like Bawumia to be selected to partner Akufo-Addo in the NPP was a huge benefit and so if he fails to be elected as flagbearer, the least he can do is to be grateful instead of creating the impression that the NPP does not like Northerners.
He said there are a lot of people who put far more toil including, myself who have never had the opportunity near the benefit Bawumia has had, and so if you were not chosen as a candidate, then he should thank the NPP for the blessings that were bestowed on him and work to support the one who is chosen as the candidate.
