“I’ve excelled as Vice President, please promote me to become president” -Dr Bawumia to Ghanaians
Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the 2024 flagbearer for the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has called on Ghanaians to elect him as their next president, highlighting his performance as Vice President as evidence of his capability for the higher office.
Speaking at the Youth Connect event in the Ashanti Region during his campaign tour, Dr. Bawumia emphasized his hard work and notable achievements, asserting that he has outperformed all other Vice Presidents in Ghana’s Fourth Republic.
“My work speaks for itself. If you compare the various Vice Presidents under the Fourth Republic, you can tell that my work rate stands out. If you ask John Mahama to point out even one policy initiative he spearheaded as Vice President, he can’t. I have 33 policies I’ve spearheaded. So the score is 33-0. Please promote me to become president because I’ve excelled as Vice President”, he said.
Dr. Bawumia also highlighted his long-term commitment to the people of Ghana, contrasting his potential eight-year term with John Mahama’s four-year term, arguing that his extended tenure would ensure greater accountability.
“It is best to vote for someone who will be accountable than someone who has asked for a honeymoon even though he has just four years to be president”, he said, addressing the enthusiastic crowd.
