He said the Vice President is poised to take over from him at the end of his tenure and would receive the full support of the New Patriotic Party and Ghanaians in his presidential pursuit.
Delivering his final Eid-al-Fitr message at Independence Square, Akufo-Addo said Bawumia’s historic nomination as the NPP’s first Muslim flagbearer was a significant milestone to be celebrated by all Muslims across the countries.
He noted that during the Vice President’s tenure, he has demonstrated commendable dedication and commitment to uplifting Muslim communities nationwide.

Akufo-Addo expressed deep confidence in Dr Bawumia’s leadership capabilities to transform the nation and uplift its citizens should he be given the nod to lead the country.
Bawumia clears all doubt about his stance on LGBTQ+
Earlier, Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia unequivocally stated his stance concerning homosexuality and the LGBTQ+ community in Ghana.
In his Eid message to Ghanaians, he noted that Ghana’s cultural and societal norms and values frown on the practice of homosexuality, and thus, such behaviour cannot be accepted within Ghanaian society.
He noted that his personal faith, Islam, also abhors the practice, leaving no room for flexibility on the subject.
He noted that his stance on the subject will remain unchanged should he be elected President in the upcoming December 7 elections.
His comment follows pressure from Ghana’s religious sects and the opposition party, the National Democratic Congress, demanding that both the President and his Vice declare their stance on homosexuality and the anti-LGBT bill.
