A few days ago, Dr. Bawumia, the Vice Presidential candidate of the NPP held a lecture at the National Theatre in Accra on the state of Ghana’s economy–from his perspective.
The lecture has been celebrated by the NPP and has been labelled as intellectually dishonest by the NDC.
Interesting, the Vice President of Ghana, Dr. Amissah-Arthur is also an economist like Bawumia, and people have been calling on him to show his academic excellence in a way of a rebuttal lecture.
According to DailyGuide, a Lecture was advertised under the theme – “Ghana’s Economy – Separating Truth from Fiction” to be delivered by Dr. Amissah-Arthur—but it has been cancelled.
“An announcement of the event, which was put out first on social media, indicates that Chairman of the Ghana Infrastructure Investment Fund (GIIF) and former Presidential Advisor, Ato Ahwoi will be the Chairman for the Public Lecture which was also scheduled for the National Theatre, the same venue for Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia’s Lecture last week,” the newspaper said.
The newspaper added that “the Lecture was widely advertised on pro-government and NDC social media accounts and which was confirmed on Peace FM’sKokrokoo programme by Communications Specialist at the Presidency, Sam George on Wednesday, who insisted that the Vice President was not just going to respond to Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia but to set the records straight on the performance of the economy after he was queried by NPP MP for Bantama, Kwabena Kokofu.”
But a tweet said to be from the Vice President’s official twitter account announced the lecture had been cancelled and blame the rains.
“Due to the Rains this morning we have decided to call off my Public Lecture. A new date will be communicated in the coming weeks”, the tweet said.
This comes after Dr. Amissah-Arthur had indicated a party rally in Ashaiman that he was about to set Bawumia’s false records straight. He said “at the appropriate time, we shall respond in full measure to all the lies that have been told; at the appropriate time, we shall correct him and teach him the things that he doesn’t know but thinks he knows.”
