He predicts that Dr Bawumia will run back into hiding after the lecture because of the pressure that will be mounted on him subsequently.

He said the vice president, as head of the Nana Akufo-Addo government’s Economic Management Team, did a lousy job managing the economy.

He cited ballooning public debts, high budget deficit, dangerous debt to GDP ratio and the cedi depreciation as some of the harmful outcomes of Dr Bawumia’s stewardship.

“In light of this, expect him to be limited to ridiculous excuse-making to shirk responsibility for the economic catastrophe and the falsification of economic theories in an attempt to explain away his disastrous performance as the very worst Head of the Economic Management Team,” he predicts.

He then concluded: “He will run back into his favourite rat hole because we will be ready.”
