A classmate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, identified as Aisha, has urged Ghanaians to give his colleague a chance to become the president of Ghana.
According to Aisha, Dr Bawumia has never placed second since they started school from Class One, adding that he was born with brains.
She further boldly declared that Dr Bawumia must become President of Ghana to turn the country into a board.
Speaking in a viral video, after paying a visit to Dr Bawumia, Aisha stated, “We started from class one, we started school the same day, we attended Sakasaka primary, and our school was one of the special schools in Tamale, you are taken there unless they test you. I sat with him for the test on the same day, and we were chosen.
When he started School he had never been second before; he is brilliant, so if Ghanaians give him a chance, he would use his brains to rule the country. He has to become president.
If he becomes president, Ghana will become like abroad. I have been abroad for 34 years. If I get the oppotuiny I will come back. He is very respectful and humble and has the patience to listen to everyone”.
Some Ghanaians reacting to her remarks stated, “In Class One, the syllabus is simple, but governance is a different exam entirely. If academic brilliance alone transformed nations, we wouldn’t still be debating basic infrastructure in 2026”.
“Dr Bawumia was born naturally with brilliance. Ghanaians must give this genius a chance. Well spoken, grandmom”, another netizen added.
Another Ghanaian added, “Bawumia’s brilliance is theoretical, and not practical. He lambasted the late Amissah Arthur here and there, but when he was given the mandate, he realised that there’s a difference between theory and practice. Governance is not about organising lectures here and there”.
“Chale, the talking is too much, and it’s even getting annoying. People who never chop first sef dey manage the economy better than him so were from this walk the talk let your works speak for you not the hype and too known things like this just dey vex”, one X user added.
One last netizen added, “Stop lying to the people. The man was I. Government for 8 years and had all the access he needed to be able to change the country, yet what did we go through? Hardships and sufferings from E levy to Covid tax to the cedi climbing mountains afajato when he lied, he put it in prison”
Meanwhile, Dr Arthur Kennedy, a veteran politician and founding member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has begged Ghanaians to give the former vice president and NPP flagbearer, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, a chance to become president of Ghana.
According to Arthur Kennedy, a vice President and a Presidential candidate are normally different people.
He cited instances where Vice Presidents who got opportunities to be Presidents turned out to be effective, naming Anwar Sadat and Richard Nixon.
Speaking on Joy News on February 2, 2026, Dr Arthur Kennedy explained, “We should all give Dr Mahamudu Bawumia a chance because a vice President and a Presidential candidate are normally different people”.
“Anwar Sadat was said to be cowardly as Nasser’s vice, but he turned out to be a very effective President in his own right”, he said.
“Richard Nixon was not a very impressive Vice President to Dwight Eisenhower, but he did an excellent job as President, until Watergate”.
