Popular radio presenter, Kofi Kum Bilson, last week stunned his audience and the nation with a startling revelation of a deliberate plot by the political opponents of former Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia to deliberately smear him as a liar.

While celebrating the former Veep on his 62nd birthday, the host of Peace FM's popular mid-morning show said his birthday wish for Bawumia was to clarify a concocted narrative that Bawumia is a liar.

The narrative, Kofi Kum Bilson noted, was a deliberate political orchestration to label Bawumia a liar, in retaliation to how President Mahama was also labelled incompetent by the NPP.

"Bawumia is not a liar. It was just a political orchestration," Kofi Kum Bilson said.

"What brought all these issues was that it was a retaliation for them (NPP) labelling Mahama as incompetent. So they (NDC) also plotted and tagged Bawumia as Bawuliar to discredit him," the presenter alleged, as he celebrated the former Vice President on his birthday.

Kofi Kum Bilson added that he was surprised how some people, who ought to know better, believed such narratives, sharing a story of how an elderly man in his church also believed it, even without any basis.

"He was an elderly man but he believed it, and I said how could such an elderly man believe a thing like this?' But I told him it's not true; it was a smear campaign, just as Mahama was labelled incomptent."

"Ghanaians, let me clarify today that Bawumia is not a liar. It was just a political orchestration to discredit him," he claimed.
