Imani Ghana Vice President Kofi Bentil claims that after endorsing Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the vice president of the 2024 NPP, his life and business are in danger.
He called the development sad, but he is unaffected and would continue to voice his opinions despite the danger.
He revealed, “I had a very interesting week and I was forced to put it on my Facebook page,” to Joy News’s Newsfile host Samson Lardy Anyeni on Saturday, February 10.
“People were meeting on attacking me and there were efforts afoot. You hear a lot of these things and I am not saying this is NDC, but there are all kinds of surrogates and people who feel upset about it.
“I don’t have a problem with debate and discourse no matter how vigorous. I block a lot of people on Facebook but I do that only when you insult me. But if you want to debate me, fine…people are planning to attack me with people saying when NDC comes into office, they will collapse my business.”
The attorney for private practice stated that he is conscious of the significant costs associated with publicly endorsing the vice president.
Mr. Bentil urged Ghanaians to give Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia a fair and impartial hearing in a Facebook post.
Mr. Bentil feels that Dr. Bawumia, who has never served as president, ought to have the chance to demonstrate his ability.
Comparing himself to former President John Mahama, Bentil emphasized how critical it is to evaluate both candidates fairly.
Many people called the policy analyst a conflicted individual, particularly those in the NDC camp, and took him to the cleaners.
Before addressing Ghanaians, he made it clear that he was simply providing what he thought to be accurate information regarding Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.
He asserts that the information he provided regarding Dr. Bawumia is verifiable. Mr. Bentil emphasized the value of disseminating information and said that persuading people is a different story.
He went on to say that he is supporting the NPP flagbearer because, as a former president and NDC flagbearer, he is a superior choice.
