In a video, Victoria Duncan-Williams said even though the NPP has voted Dr Mahamudu Bawumia as the 2028 flagbearer, he would never become President of Ghana.

"Fear delegates. I'm really surprised at the delegates again. I told them the last time that 'if you bring Bawumia, you'd go to the opposition' and they are bringing back Bawumia. I'm saying this with authority, Bawumia will never be President in Ghana."

"He came to destroy the NPP just like his father destroyed UP. He has destroyed the NPP, and that's the end," she added.

Victoria Duncan-Williams, who supports Kennedy Agyapong, further stated that Dr Bawumia's religious affiliation does not make him a winnable candidate.

"Christians are the majority in Ghana. There is no way the majority will sit for the minority to rule," she said.

Ryabaabdulhakeem said:

"Ma’am, with all due respect, your reasoning is absolutely flawed. The US has a majority-white population; however, a black man became president. Ghana is not a Christian country. Ghana is a constitutional democracy, and our Constitution guarantees freedom of religion and equality for all citizens. Leadership is decided by competence, not by tribe or faith or where someone prays. Saying a Muslim can never be president is not patriotism; it’s discrimination, and it’s assimilated by gullible people. And I pray God keeps me alive long enough to see an individual of a different faith become President."

"I don't really support what she is saying, but seeing what is happening in Nigeria, where the Muslims so hate the Christians, doing everything to kick the Christians into extinction. The proof is now by refusing to make a Christian a vice president to a Muslim president. One thing we have to know is that every Muslim represent his religion."
