A private legal practitioner and the campaign advisor for the Presidential Candidate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr Kwabena Kokofu, says the campaign strategy of the party's running mate has been approved to shield Dr Mahamudu Bawumia.
Speaking to Nana Kwadwo Jantuah on Nhyira Fm’s KuroYiMuNsem show, the outspoken politician indicated the party is not worried about how Dr Matthew Opoku Prempeh delivers his campaign message.
According to him, it is a strategy to draw criticism to himself while the presidential candidate goes around to campaign smoothly without distractions.
"Dr Bawumia shielded Nana Addo, and NAPO is doing the same for Bawumia. He is intentionally drawing criticism to himself. This is what many people don't understand but it is a strategy we have employed to achieve a certain goal. You know, this will help Dr Bawumia in his campaign," he stated.
He further revealed plans to prepare Dr Matthew Opoku Prempeh for leadership position in the party. He believes the party's running mate has a lot of potential to lead the party but needs some form of training which has begun.
"Dr Bawumia's training has made him a leading candidate of the party and we are replicating this with NAPO. It is clear that every good leader needs grooming and that's exactly what the party is doing to make sure that the country has competent leaders to steer affairs," he stated.
