The statement clarified that Dr. Bryan Acheampong referred to Dr. Bawumia as a “victim of circumstances,” rather than a cause of division, and reiterated his deep respect for the former Vice President.
According to the statement, Dr. Bryan Acheampong’s comments were aimed at highlighting political strategies that have affected the New Patriotic Party’s performance in key regions and constituencies over the years especially in the Bawku area.
