The Member of Parliament for Akuapem North, Sammy Awuku, has praised the former Vice President and New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer hopeful for 2028, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, describing him as a man of his words who is genuine, respectful, and values people.
Awuku’s comments highlight Dr. Bawumia’s reputation as a leader who is committed to his principles and is held in high regard by his colleagues and constituents.
According to Awuku, Dr. Bawumia’s character is a rare quality in politics, and he is an inspiration to many.
He noted that Dr. Bawumia remains the same in both private and public settings, unlike individuals who adopt a friendlier posture only when seeking political office.
Awuku explained that his long working relationship with Dr. Bawumia has given him firsthand insight into his character, which he believes has remained unchanged over the years.
“There are people who suddenly become friendly when they need positions,” he said. “But Dr. Bawumia has never acted that way. His approach to people is natural, and he doesn’t pretend for political gain.”
He also touched on recent internal party debates, arguing that if a long-serving Vice President can be labelled a “stranger,” then figures with minimal political exposure would face even greater criticism.
Awuku’s comments came when Dr. Bawumia toured the Akuapem North constituency on Friday, November 28 as part of his engagements in the Eastern Region.
The MP’s remarks underscore the respect and admiration that Dr. Bawumia has earned from his peers and the people he serves.
