Ghanaians descend heavily on Bawumia for comparing ‘dumsor’ to Covid-19

The vice president of Ghana, His excellency Dr. Bawumia has come under severe attacks from a section of Ghanaians for taking a swipe at former president John Mahama .

Dr. Bawumia said the former President must apprise himself with the right data on the state of the country’s economy before making contrary statements that set him up for embarrassment.

Speaking at a media interaction after a COVID-19 response team meeting on Monday, the Vice President said John Mahama’s claims of the economy being in disarray due to the COVID-19 outbreak should be disregarded because it is untrue.

“My humble advice to former President John Mahama is [that he should] take a look at the data, this is not green book data. Take a look at the data before you speak, otherwise, you will end up embarrassing yourself. When it comes to the data, it has been very clear; in agricultural growth, we have performed better; industry growth, we have performed better; inflation,

we have performed better, on interest rate, we did perform better; exchange rate depreciation, we have performed better. That is the data.

This statement from Dr. Bawumia comes after John Mahama in a Facebook interaction session last week, said the much-hyped economy by the governing New Patriotic Party has failed the test of time as it is currently in shambles a month after the Coronavirus outbreak.

This statement from the vice president has angered a section of Ghanaians who went ahead to question the credibility of Dr.Bawumia as vice president.
