After amassing wealth as Vice President you are now saying saying “if I do everything now, what will I do when I come to office” meaning the E-levy and other taxes is the President way...you are now coming to introduce your own way to amass wealth #BawumiaHostsTheMedia pic.twitter.com/sgyJ9xUbdW

We can see the positives at least a lot people are interested now, maybe we’ll get there one day. We can hate Paul Adom Otchere but I don’t think what he said was a lie. This political year has been a lot more about policies. https://t.co/QakaJ3LZm9

'COCOBOD is on the verge of collapse? I'm not aware of that'. This is the person who wants to become President of Ghana. The chairman of our economic management team claims he's not aware of a state agency in charge of one of our cash cows as a country. pic.twitter.com/v8R0TPXqgL

I guess I doctored the tape to include “I cannot comment on that”.
Cocoa is a very important commodity. Cocobod is a critical state institution. For years, that entity has consistently made losses. The audited financials speak to Cocobod’s health. Why is he not aware? pic.twitter.com/6nBVfD0CSO

The moment Vice President Dr.Mahamudu Bawumia was caught fumbling in his response to claims of COCOBOD being on the verge of collapsing. The job hard oo, E over am.🤣🤣🤣 pic.twitter.com/vVhwK8os2x

This chart is why the VP @MBawumia can’t be unaware of the struggles of Cocobod.

After we peaked under the Mills admin with over a 1M tonnes production, the worst 2 all happened in his second term.
With Cocoa being top 3 export earnings it needs all the attention it can get pic.twitter.com/IPE7VIRHKc
