Nana Akomea, the Chief Executive Officer of the State Transport Corporation (STC), says the Vice President of the Republic, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia cannot be blamed for the woes of the economy on Ghanaians.
The Vice President, who is the flagbearer of the governing New Patriotic Party, is set to deliver a nation address where he will outline his vision for the nation, however the opposition National Democratic Congress and their leader, John Dramani Mahama, have linked him to the bad living conditions of the citizenry, hence rubbishing Dr. Bawumia's presidential candidacy.
Mr. John Mahama and critics are of a strong opinion that Dr. Bawumia cannot be absolved when it comes to the economic burdens which have aggravated the livelihoods of Ghanaians.
In calling for the Ghanaian electorate to vote against Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia and the New Patriotic Party, former President Mahama and his party believe the Vice President is equally guilty as President Nana Addo is to fully blame for the plight of the citizens but Nana Akomea has refuted these claims.
Responding during Peace FM's panel discussion programme "Kokrokoo", Nana Akomea argued that though Dr. Bawumia is the Vice President, he is not in charge of the economic affairs, so what Ghanaians are experiencing isn't his fault.
"The campaign of the NDC is that the current economic woes are Bawumia's fault. Is Bawumia the President?", he replied.
"Bawumia hasn't said he is not a part of the government. He admits he is part whether good or bad but if you say every bad thing is Bawumia's fault, it is laughable", he asserted.
He further questioned; "As Vice President and President, who has the bigger responsibility?" and answered; "The President, of course, has the bigger responsibility".
To Nana Akomea, the Vice President deserves a chance to showcase what he is capable to do to better the lives of Ghanaians.

isn't it ironic that these same people blaming Dr, Bawumia for Ghana's challenges with then twist their mouths and call for a vote for John Mahama? you think the vice should be blamed for the challenges of the economy but the president who presided the worst economic performance in peace time should be voted for. what kind of witch logic is that?
Oh, Nana Akomea, you mean this government has failed? Wao.
Inferably you are suggesting Akuffo Addo has failed simple.
Was Amissah Arthiur then the president? The center can not hold. Concert people
less said about nana akomea the better because he has lost his credibility. That is what politics can do to "fine mind". just enjoy all you can as STC boss and prepare your handover notes bcos you said Nana Addo has failed
These kind of pronouncements are very unhelpful. Are you then claiming that Akufo Addo is responsible for the failures of his government and Bawumia is responsible for the achievements? Is that why Akufo Addo is not credited for the positives? This is definitely your campaign strategy for Bawumia but we'll always expose you guys, I am sure both Akufo Addo and Ofori Atta have agreed for you guys to push all the negatives on them and put all the positives on Bawumia because he's the one appearing on the ballot. But you don't realise that the foIly of Ghanaians in yester years has declined significantly?
