The Managing Editor of the Insight newspaper has criticised the ‘hyping’ of Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia in some pro-government newspapers.
Speaking on Radio Gold’s 'Alhaji and Alhaji' political talk show, Saturday, Kwesi Pratt Jnr. does not understand why a section of the media is putting prominence on the Vice President's activities, relegating that of the President.
He said when one examines the pro-government newspapers, “one thing that is being hyped or perhaps overhyped is Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia; anything he says is wisdom, anything he does is excellent and so on and sometimes one even gets the impression that it takes precedence over the President."
According to him, “there have been many occasions where both President and Vice President have performed public functions at the same time; you find the President’s story on page 46 of the Graphic and find Bawumia’s story on the front page. So it does appear that Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia is enjoying the limelight perhaps more than anybody else in this administration and sometimes it makes me wonder what actually is happening.”
He added that various comments made by President Akufo-Addo shows that he will be running for a second term hence; “the hyping of Bawumia may not be particularly useful.”

DR BAWUMIA DID NOT TAKE NANAADDO'S SHINE WHEN THEY WERE CAMPAGNING, DR TOOK SOON AFTER THEY FORMED GOVERNMENT. THIS INFERIOR TACTICS WILL NOT WORK AS FAR AS NPP IS CONCERNED,KWASI PRATT
Uncle Kwesi, as for this one dea, haba! please, please, don't even start. Obviously you're trying to sow a seed of discord between the President and his able Vice, and to whose benefit? JM? ebei oo!
If the Vice President returns from China with something that benefits the whole country and the President attends a durbar of chiefs at Kibi, which one should take precedence over the other? I think there is something wrong with this Pratt man.
Kwesi only desire to break nana and Bawumia apart.Shame on Mr Pratt. Nana,We love what you are doing.keep on keeping on.
Complementary, delegation, teamwork, shared goals and working towards it? Taking responsibility !!! Abi
Pratt leave our future president in waiting alone and stop that dirty smearing.
WE LEAVE TO SEE. NPP IS USING DR BAWUMIA AND DAPT HIM. WE KNOWNS YOU GUYS WHAT YOU CAN DO.
SHAME ON YOU PRATT......
He wants Bawumia to be treated like the way his NDC treated Ammisah-Arthur. It will not happen here. We have a Commander in chief who is so confident of himself that he does not mind giving responsibilities to his deputy.
This is a strong characteristic of a great leader. He wants to put his deputy out there for exposure and experience to prepare him for the limelight. He will oneday take over from him and he is not intimidated by letting him lead. Kwesi Pratt, we now know you ooooo Your pay masters are in opposition so nothing positive or negative you say holds water. Everyone knows what you are made of now Tweaaaaaaa
