Economic Advisor to the Vice President, Dr. Gideon Boako says they [NPP] diligently welcome and accept the new name given the Vice President by the National Democratic Congress [NDC].
“Frankly, we thank God that members of the NDC have realized Vice President Dr. Mahamadu Bawumia is a ‘Walewale Adam Smith’, simply meaning, the father of Economics in Ghana who hails from Walewale in the Northern part of Ghana,” he said.
Member of Parliament for Bolgatanga Central in the Upper East Region, Isaac Adongo on its public lecture on the theme “The state of the Ghanaian Economy; Myths and Truths” christened the Vice President as the Walewale Version of Adam Smith.
Adam Smith was a Scottish philosopher and economist best known as the author of An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations in 1776. He lived from 1723 to 1790.
On UTV’s ‘Mpu ne Mpu’ programme, Dr. Gideon Boako called on members of the largest opposition party to learn from the Vice President if not for anything at all, the name they have given him.
“My advice to members of the NDC especially their economic team is to humble themselves and learn more from him [Vice President],” he said.
However, he debunked Ato Forson’s claim that the cedi depreciates anytime the Vice President speaks.
“ . . Ato Forson cannot prove that the cedi depreciates any time Dr. Bawumia talks . . . it is just a political talk,” he said.

That pito drinking and dog chewing Adongo must first pay his overdue loan to GN Bank. Ndc has NOBODY the caliber of Dr.Bawumia. Is it fine for me to call ex president as Bole Atta Ayi?
only walewale people will understood his economic lectures walewale adam smith
The name ''Walewale Adam Smith'' is casting sarcasm at the Economic prowess of Bawumia, PhD. Actually, he was touted as an economic guru, but in effect, he couldn't understand Ghana's economy. His prowess can only understand the economy of walewale
Dr. i also thought same ooo, that this people did they understood calling the Veep Adam Smith. It was an acceptance of his acumen. you see how IN-COMPETENT these people are? Even when they want to bash you they in-competently rather lift you. HIGHLY IN-COMPETENTLY IN-COMPETENT.
