A former Chief Executive Officer of the National Entrepreneurship and Innovation Programme (NEIP), Kofi Ofosu Nkansah, has fiercely responded to a social media post by Jennifer Oppong a known supporter of Kennedy Agyapong, after she compared former Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia to President John Dramani Mahama.

In a Facebook post, Jennifer Oppong criticised the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) flagbearer for the 2024 elections, Dr Bawumia, suggesting he underperformed in office for his entire eight years and could not be compared to Mahama’s government in less than six months.

“John Mahama has made Bawumia incompetent! He’s doing exactly what Bawumia couldn’t do in eight years! NPP will be so doomed to present Bawumia because Ghanaians will finish us!” she wrote.

But her post drew a sharp reaction from Kofi Ofosu Nkansah, who described her comments as illogical and disrespectful.

Kofi argued that Jennifer’s preferred candidate, Kennedy Agyapong, a former Member of Parliament for Assin Central and NPP flagbearer hopeful for the 2024 election was himself a board member within the government.

Therefore, if the previous NPP administration failed, as Jennifer suggested, the entire government machinery must be held responsible, not just Dr Bawumia.

“Don’t be silly, NPP had far better goodwill 6 months into power. If we failed, it was collective, from the President to the last appointee. Your candidate was a Board Chairman and therefore part of the Government. If you weren’t silly, you won’t be comparing a President to a Vice President.”

He continued, “You write such rubbish and complain when others go after your preferred candidate. Nonsense.”
