The former Chairman of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Samuel Ofosu Ampofo has described Vice President, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia as a failure.

He criticised the Vice President for what he saw as attempts to distance himself from the country's economic woes.

Mr Ampofo rebuked Dr Bawumia for not meeting expectations regarding the country's economic situation.

“As the Vice President, it is your government. You are an integral part and the number two most important person. When he was appointed, the president indicated he was bringing Dr Bawumia because of his economic prowess and credentials to come and salvage the economy. So, he's completely a failure.”

“I wonder why a sitting Vice President would go and be making a certain statement and have forgotten his role as the Chairman of the Economic Management Team.

The former NDC Chairman stated that the Vice President has failed to deliver on his promises to improve the economy.

He said this in an interview with Accra-based ChannelOne TV.

For him, the leader of the Movement for Change, Alan Kyerematen has articulated better innovations and deserves a place over Dr Bawumia.

He highlighted Mr Kyerematen’s efforts to introduce innovative solutions as a stark contrast to Bawumia’s performance.
