Mahamudu Bawumia says President Nana Addo is a very energetic man. He revealed that the leader of the NPP is always on the ground whenever he wants something done.
According to him, Akufo-Addo is a workaholic who expects much to be done even at his old age however, the systems do not allow for an easy flow and that sometimes draws government back in its delivery process.
The Vice President who was speaking on Accra-based Peace Fm said, regardless of the bottlenecks that exist in government, he and his team do well to work against the tides to ensure that things are done to meet the President’s timelines.
“AS VICE PRESIDENT . . . I HAVE A BOSS WHO REALLY WANTS THINGS TO BE DONE IN A HURRY; HE’S ALMOST A WORKAHOLIC . . . AT HIS AGE HE IS STRONGER THAN US THE YOUNGER MEN; HE’S DEMANDING AND IT’S SOMETHING THAT WE ALL HAVE TO WORK TO . . . YOU CANNOT RELAX; YOU HAVE TO KEEP GOING AT IT . . . IT CAN BE A CHALLENGE BUT IT ALSO HELPS US ALL KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON . . . THE WHOLE ISSUE OF WANTING TO DELIVER QUICKLY BUT SOMETIMES GOVERNMENT DOESN’T MOVE AS QUICKLY AS YOU DO. I REALIZED IN GOVERNMENT THAT IF YOU WANT SOMETHING IN SIX MONTHS TIME YOU SHOULD SAY YOU WANT IT IN THREE MONTHS TIME”.
