Bawumia’s Convoy Not Blocked - Spokesperson Clarifies

Gideon Boako, the Spokesperson of Vice President and Presidential candidate of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr.

Mahamudu Bawumia, has refuted the narrative that some enraged youth blocked the Vice President’s convoy on the Nkawkaw-Kumasi highway on Saturday, 4th May, 2024.Dr.

Boako explained that the Vice President was not even on that road during the entire week.The Vice President was in the Western region on 1st and 2nd May, then moved to the Western North region on Thursday, 3rd May, and arrived in Kumasi around 10 pm the same day.He left Kumasi in the morning of Saturday, 4th May, to Accra by air, and did not use the Nkawkaw-Kumasi road.According to Dr.

Boako’s understanding, the blockade was due to an accident in which a loaded fuel tanker had fallen on the main road.The youth, in an attempt to prevent large casualties in the unfortunate event of an explosion, blocked the road until the fire service and other security agencies cleared it for commuters to use. Read statement below:
