Prophet Opambour, the leader of the Ebenezer Miracle Worship Centre, has publicly criticized Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia for his recent comments likening his role in government to that of a “driver’s mate”. Opambour accused Bawumia of attempting to distance himself from the current administration’s performance, which he believes is a tactic to avoid accountability.
Opambour questioned Bawumia’s statement, asking whether he was implying that as “mate”, he had no control over the “driver’s” (President Akufo-Addo’s) actions. He expressed concern that Bawumia’s words could expose President Akufo-Addo to public ridicule and urged the Vice President to take ownership of the administration’s actions.
Opambour’s criticism highlights the ongoing debate about the role of the Vice President in the current government and their ability to effect change. His comments also underscore the importance of accountability in governance, emphasizing that leaders must take responsibility for their actions.
This development comes as the political landscape in Ghana heats up ahead of the upcoming elections, with leaders and parties vying for public support. Opambour’s endorsement of John Mahama and criticism of Bawumia’s stance have added a new dimension to the ongoing political discourse.
Opambour’s comments have sparked a lively debate among Ghanaians, with some supporting his call for accountability and others defending Bawumia’s comments as a legitimate expression of his role in the government. As the elections approach, it remains to be seen how this debate will shape the political landscape and influence the decisions of Ghanaian voters.
