He revealed this in an interview on Okay FM’s ‘Adea Kyea Bia’ Show, on January 12, 2023.

According to him, he is prepared to do anything within his power to ensure Bawumia wins the 2024 election to become the President of Ghana.

“I told you I went to Walewale to see the graves of Bawumia’s parents and asked for their spiritual support. I told them that, if spirits indeed operate, then they should be behind me to give glory to their son Bawumia and themselves. I also went to CK Tedam’s grave to do the same thing because while he was alive, he really liked me,” Ghanaweb quotes Obiri Boahen as saying.

Bawumia is one of the people contesting the NPP’s primaries to lead the party into the 2024 elections.
