Strategists don't cause the cedi to deprecate to dangerous levels

The NPP flagbearer hopeful also slammed the vice president, touted as an Economic whizz-kid, for superintending over the unprecedented depreciation of the cedi against the dollar, a situation that has spiralled inflation to dangerous levels.

"It is only in Ghana that you can run to the IMF for economic bailout and still claim you are a strategist. When you came to power, $1 was equivalent to GH¢4. Today $1 equals GH¢12. Are you a strategist? Excuse me." he teased.

He told NPP delegates in Kintampo East Constituency when he toured the area as part of his campaign in the middle of July that he was ready to take on the Bawumia campaign if they attack his person.
