"He has to be the President of Ghana. I started Primary School with him at Sakasaka Primary. He was always first, never second, since class one. He was born with brains. If Ghanaians give him the opportunity, he would use his knowledge to govern the country."

"He is respectful, humble and does not discriminate. In the 2028 elections, Ghanaians should vote for Dr Bawumia, and they will not regret it," she added.

"Dr. Bawumia was born naturally with brilliance. Ghanaians must give this genius a chance. Well spoken grandmom."

@Samdork91 said:

"In Class One, the syllabus is simple, but governance is a different exam entirely. If academic brilliance alone transformed nations, we wouldn’t still be debating basic infrastructure in 2026."

"Being first in school doesn't necessarily translate into success in life. I was first in my class throughout my SHS science class, but there were some struggling to even pass. Now, I see them, and I ask, does being brilliant in school really bring anything?"

@MohRabiu4 said:

"Bawumia’s brilliance is theoretical, and not practical. He lambasted the late Amissah Arthur here and there, but when he was given the mandate, he realised that there’s a difference between theory and practice. Governance is not about organising lectures here and there."

"Stop lying to the people. The man was I. Government for 8 years and had all the access he needed to be able to change the country, yet what did we go through? Hardships and sufferings from E levy to Covid tax to the cedi climbing mountains afajato when he lied, he put it in prison 😏."

"Academic excellence is admirable, but leadership and governance are not classroom competitions. Being “first in class” doesn’t automatically translate into effective presidency. What matters is proven results in managing an economy, improving living standards, and creating jobs."
