Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, the former vice president and New Patriotic Party (NPP) presidential candidate in the 2024 elections, has stated he may not be rich, but he has rich ideas.
The former vice president tackled Kennedy Agyapong over his recent claims that he could raise $7 million with one phone call.
Kennedy Agyapong, who contested the party’s 2023 flagbearer race and remains a strong contender, pledged to raise up to $7 million to support grassroots organisations if the party agrees to restructure from the bottom up.
Speaking to some NPP constituency chairmen in Kumasi on Saturday, Kennedy Agyapong stated, “I don’t care if I personally lack funds. With one phone call, I can secure $7 million to help organise the party from the bottom up and make sure we do things properly”.
The former Vice President, speaking in a meeting with over 200 former MMDCEs, says poor people can also be the President of Ghana.
His remarks come just days after Kennedy Agyapong told party constituency chairmen, he could raise $7 million with a single phone call to organise the party’s internal elections.
Dr Bawumia is quoted by JOY NEWS to have stated, “ I may not be rich, but I have rich ideas. Poor people can also be presidents of Ghana”.
