Ghana’s former Finance Minister Dr. Kwabena Duffuor has said Ghanaians should treat claims making rounds in sections of the media that he is eyeing the presidency in 2020 with contempt.
According to him, he has “no intention, whatsoever, to contest for any elective public office” hence posters announcing his Election 2020 bid on social media are false.
“I have served my country in various capacities and consider myself a statesman who is retired from active politics,” the former Governor of the Bank of Ghana stressed in a statement.
Below is the full statement
RE; KWABENA DUFFUOR TO RUN FOR PRESIDENT IN 2020.
My attention has been drawn to various publications on some media outlets and social media suggesting that I intend to contest for President in 2020.
For the avoidance of any doubt, I wish to put on record that I have no intention, whatsoever, to contest for any elective public office.
I have served my country in various capacities and consider myself a statesman who is retired from active politics.
God bless Ghana.
SGD
Dr. Kwabena Duffuor
