A Person of Great Integrity: Bishop Dr. Hilliard Dogbe Commends Bawumia’s Humility and Character | Discuss Ghana

The Presiding Bishop of the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church (AME Zion Church), Rt. Rev. Dr. Hilliard K. Dela Dogbe, has highly praised the leadership character and integrity of Vice President and New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.

Speaking on Thursday, June 11, 2026, during a high-profile consultative meeting between an NPP delegation and the leadership of the Christian Council of Ghana, the respected prelate delivered a powerful character witness for the Vice President. Reflecting on his years of personal and professional interactions with Bawumia, Bishop Dogbe bypassed typical partisan politics, describing him as a leader who consistently models profound humility, honor, and mutual respect in public service.

A Call to Consistency and Faithful Leadership

The consultative dialogue focused entirely on national development, shared progress, and maintaining socio-religious peace. During his address, Bishop Dogbe offered foundational counsel to the NPP leader:

The Shield of Character: Bishop Dogbe described Bawumia as a trusted figure, stating unequivocally: “If you ask me over and over again, what do you think of Dr. Bawumia, I'll tell you again and again... He's a person of great humility, very humble. He's a person of great honor and integrity.”

The Mandate to Stay Focused: The prelate strongly urged the flagbearer to remain unshakeable and consistent in his messaging, advising him to stand firm on the cardinal principles that initially guided him into national leadership.

Guarding Against Distractions: Cautioning against the intense political white noise of the campaign season, the cleric reminded the Vice President that a leader's ultimate success is shaped by personal discipline and the quality of advisors they choose to surround themselves with.
