The National Democratic Congress (NDC) Director of Legal Affairs has described the Vice President, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia as an over-hyped economist, who has failed with the management of the economy.
According to Godwin Edudzi Tameklo, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) before the 2016 election touted Dr Bawumia as an Economic Messiah.
Mr Tameklo remarked that, Dr Bawumia once hailed as an economic hero, has now fallen from grace to zero.
“As a personal philosophy, I become worried when people begin to hype me too much. The hype on Bawumia was too much and unnecessary and that has created the problem for him.
“Because the impression created was that you are an economic messiah and your wife even called you Economic Wizkid so we handed the economy over to you. But the course of the Ghana economy will humble you. It doesn’t respond to anything,” he said.
In an interview on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen programme, he said the NPP flagbearer despite his reputed expertise has failed to meet the expectation of Ghanaians and is now wobbling.
Expressing deep concern over the state of the economy which he believes Dr Bawumia cannot disassociate himself from.
“You should be suspicious when people hype you with the economy. He held several economic lectures with distinguished names but look at us now. Today he is telling us that what will he do when elected President if he fulfills all promises now,” he said sarcastically.
