NDC Member of Parliament(MP) for Bia East Constituency in the Western Region, Richard Acheampong has claimed the New Patriotic Party (NPP) deliberately organized the State of the Economy Address to “make Dr Bawumia popular again”.   
 
He said the address was “needless”- but only served the purpose to boost Dr Mahamudu Bawumia’s quest to lead the NPP in the next election.
 
Mr Richard Acheampong alleged that some bigwigs within the NPP are going all out to make the vice-president well-liked among his peers who have shown interest to contest for the flagbearership position within the NPP.
 
“It’s a campaign for Dr Bawumia. If indeed he [Dr Bawumia] wants to talk to Ghanaians, why do they allow rented supporters to wear his T-shirts?” he questioned in an interview with NEAT FM’s morning show, ‘Ghana Montie’.
 
Adding that, “He [Dr Bawumia] said nothing new on the economy, all he said has been said already. It was needless”.
