Economist and spokesperson for Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, Dr Gideon Boako, has disclosed the genre of music that Dr Bawumia loves most.

During a media run on Dr Bawumia's presidential campaign, Dr Boako, who was on Peace FM's morning show Kokrokoo with Kwame Sefa Kayi, said that Dr Bawumia's musical preference reflects his personality.

"Recently I said in an interview with Umaru Sanda that Dr Bawumia's favourite genre of music is gospel music. He sings it all the time," he said.

He recalled an incident between Dr Bawumia and the Moderator of the Presbyterian Church of Ghana, Joseph Obiri Yeboah Mante, where Dr Bawumia impressed the moderator by singing word for word some Presby hymns during an event.

"There was a time when the Presby moderator said that he attended an event where Dr Bawumia was present, and they happened to be seated close to each other. As they sang some Presby hymns, he realised that Dr Bawumia had sung along to all the hymns correctly. He wondered how a Muslim could properly sing Presby hymns in such a manner. And Dr Bawumia responded and said, 'Oh, do not be surprised, my mother was a Methodist before she became a Muslim'," Dr Boako recounted.

According to Dr Boako, such traits displayed by Dr Bawumia, his love for God and his unbiased respect for everyone, are characteristics that have been with him since childhood and are verifiable by all who have known him over the years.

"All positive comments about Dr Bawumia are not coming out of the blue. It is an attitude he has exhibited since childhood and throughout his professional life up to this point. Everybody in this country knows that Dr Bawumia is God-fearing and humble.

He respects everyone no matter who they are, in everything he does. Those who know him from his childhood days and know his history know that he is a respectful and humble person who likes unifying people," Dr Boako added.

The Vice President's spokesperson then advised all Ghanaians as well as members of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to develop or encourage a culture of unity just as Dr Bawumia does, for the sole benefit of the country's development.

"And so that attitude of unity and peace is what we need, so we can be unified as a country first of all, and as a party, New Patriotic Party (NPP) members, so that when we gain power again, God will give us wisdom to rule the nation. And so Dr Bawumia's campaign is going on very well."

Dr Bawumia is contesting for the position of flagbearer for the NPP in the upcoming general election in 2024. As part of efforts to boost his campaign, his team has launched a website under the name bawumia.com, where all information about his campaign is published.
