Former Sports Minister and Member of for Odododiodio Constituency, Nii Lante Vanderpuye, has offered candid advice to Dr Yaw Osei Adu-Twum, urging him not to rely solely on his tenure as Minister of Education as justification for his New Patriotic Party (NPP) Flagbearership bid, Speaking in a media interview on Channel 1 tv, Vanderpuye acknowledged Dr Adu-Twum as a "fine gentleman" known for his calm and respectful demeanor.
He expressed admiration for Adu-Twum's decision to throw his hat into the ring for his party's flagbearership, describing it as a legitimate aspiration.
However, Vanderpuye cautioned the aspiring flagbearer against using his record at the Education Ministry as the main basis for his candidacy, noting that the performance there was, in his view, mixed. "His performance at the Ministry is 50/50.
There are certain things he did right, but there are a lot of things he did wrong which will not give him the sort of credit he is looking for," Vanderpuye said.
