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.”

If this guy Kwesi Pratt is a little intelligent he would realized that the President knew what Bawumia can do that is why he imposed confidence in him by retaining him as his running mate for three consecutive times. Nana Addo choosed Bawumia to do what he is doing. If I were Pratt I would rather daft my hat for the President for spotting Bawumia.
Mr. Pratt, there is something call TEAM WORK, please learn.
Does the Graphic have 46 pages or more?? Just asking ooo...
is the most ***barred word*** man in Ghana politics if not the world
***barred word*** kwesi
As if he likes Nana Addo, look at a hypocrite! ***barred word***!!
And where from this one too???
ev.il mind. he thinks he can create a problem between Nana and Bawumia. God forbid
***barred word***man weed smocker just shup up and get sales for your ***barred word*** news paper
Kwesi Pratt shame unto you, you are not a man at all, you are a complete coward. Why is it that when you go to Peace FM or Adom FM you don't talk trash but when you go Radio Gold you talk trash? You are a complete disgrace to journalism
