Vice-President, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia
A malicious plot by a minister in the current NPP government to use selected journalists to slander Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia has come to light.
The minister, who intends to present himself as the standard bearer when the NPP opens nominations for the party’s 2024 presidential ticket, and his team, see Dr Bawumia as a major stumbling block to his desire and thus have devised a serious plan to vilify the vice president.
In a confidential meeting held at the Buka Restaurant in Osu, Accra on Saturday, October 9, agents of the minister led carefully selected journalists through an elaborate but vicious strategy to attack Dr Bawumia to destroy his image and his strong potential as the obvious heir to President Akufo-Addo’s mantle as the next NPP leader, and possibly the President of Ghana.
Minister’s aides told assembled reporters how seriously worried they were about Dr Bawumia’s growing popularity in the nuclear power plant and the need to curb his meteoric rise.
To achieve this, the minister’s assistants suggested a number of destructive measures to the assembled journalists.
One strategy is to play the tribal and religious cards by denouncing the vice president as being from the minority groups of the NPP party. In this regard, potential mercenary journalists were also educated on how they would project their treasurer as coming from a majority group within the NPP and why he should be elected to lead the NPP instead of the vice president, to continue. the tradition of NPP. .
Journalists were also urged to link every economic issue to Dr Bawumia and brutally attack him about it.
The most frightening proposal for journalists was a plan to attack and downplay the positive effects of every NPP government policy spearheaded by Dr Bawumia.
Among those named were the government’s flagship digitization campaign and the sinohydro project.
Like the tribal and religious agenda, reporters were asked to go back to the Kufuor era and point out some initiatives of the Kuffour government and credit the minister for these initiatives. They were also asked to continuously project this minister-presidential hopeful, as the main person behind every initiative of the current government under his ministry.
The escape
At least five journalists who were part of the meeting and were shocked at the depth of the vicious plan to destroy Dr Bawumia’s work for the Akufo-Addo government, details of the meeting revealed, including all participants in some. senior government officials.
Participants included journalists and producers from media houses, mainly from Accra.
Interestingly, some of the journalists and producers were from media houses perceived to be sympathetic to the NDC opposition.
Similar meetings have also taken place in other parts of the country for the same reason.
The NPP will have a new flag bearer for the first time in 16 years for the 2024 presidential elections, following the departure of President Akufo-Addo.
Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia is considered by many to be the clear favorite to win the NPP flag bearer race.
