Senior Analyst for Sub-Saharan Africa at Fitch Solutions and spokesperson for Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, Dr Gideon Boako, has defended Bawumia's competence, asserting his suitability to become the next president of Ghana in the 2024 elections.

Highlighting various accomplishments of the vice president since taking office, Dr. Boako challenged critics who label the vice president as all talk and no action to identify a single promise he made in opposition that he has not fulfilled since assuming office.

Speaking on Peace FM's Kokrokoo morning show with host Kwame Sefa Kaye, Dr. Boako emphasised that everything Dr. Bawumia extensively lectured on while in opposition has been realised.

And these interventions, he said, have alleviated the burdens of middle-class men like himself.

He said, "Bawumia's interventions since assuming the vice presidency have alleviated some of our burdens. These are the issues he extensively lectured on while we were in opposition. However, today, there is little to show for it.

I challenge anyone to dispute that while we were in opposition, Bawumia made numerous promises, and none have come to fruition.I want to be challenged, but there is not a single person to do so because everything Bawumia said, he has accomplished."

Citing some achievements of Dr Bawumia and its impact on the Ghanaian economy, Dr Baako mentioned that "For instance, he introduced the Ghana Card system, which has simplified borrower tracking for banks.Banks can now easily identify and trace borrowers, leading to reduced interest rates as a result of mitigated borrowing risks."
