Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the flagbearer of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), has advised Ghanaians not to put former President John Dramani Mahama back in office due to his appalling record.
Speaking in the Eastern Region as part of his constituency-focused statewide campaign tour, Dr. Bawumia emphasized that, despite the lack of any significant global economic problems during his presidency, Mahama only kept 28% of his campaign promises.
“Ghanaians don’t need to go back to a leader who woefully failed and only fulfilled 28% of his promises as President,” Dr. Bawumia emphasized during the tour at Nsawam-Adoagyiri, Ayensuano and Suhum constituencies on Saturday.
“We have faced unprecedented global economic challenges, but our government has made significant strides in fulfilling its campaign promises,” he said while engaging chiefs, heads of religious bodies and a cross-section of society in the constituencies.
The remarks made by Dr. Bawumia coincide with former President Mahama’s attempt to retake office in the next elections while flying the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) flag.
The NPP flagbearer used his Facebook page to restate his previous remarks, emphasizing the importance of new leadership in Ghana. He underlined that the nation needs a fresh leader with audacious ideas and a clear vision for the future.
Ghana deserves better, according to the NPP flagbearer, and it’s time for new leaders to step up and assume the mantle.
“Ghana needs a new leader with fresh and innovative ideas and a mindset to craft and implement bold solutions for the future,” the flagbearer posted.
His previous critique of former President Mahama’s leadership, which he deemed to be dreadfully inadequate, is reinforced by this statement.
“We don’t need to go back to a leader who woefully failed and only fulfilled 28% of his promises as President, even in the absence of the sort of global economic crisis we have faced recently. Let’s look forward and not backward,” he stressed.
