Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has launched a strong attack on his main opponent, former President John Dramani Mahama, likening him to a “reckless driver with a poor track record” who poses a significant risk to the country’s progress.
According to him, former President Mahama, as a driver, failed to steer the country to its desired destination, plunging the nation into “four years of dumsor,” where even teachers struggled to afford “common chalk to teach in schools.”
“These issues make him a very bad driver with terrible experience, and handing the country over to him again will mean we are going back to the old sufferings under his leadership,” Dr. Bawumia emphasized.
“As a humble mate, I have acquired the right experience to help drive the country to a better destination. Giving me the steer means the country will move forward.” Dr. Bawumia also asserted.
Also, Majority Leader and Member of Parliament for Effutu, Alexander Afenyo Markin, highlighted the NPP’s selection of Dr. Bawumia, a Muslim, as flagbearer, as a testament to the party’s patriotism and unifying force.
He pointed out that, the NDC has removed all Muslims from influential leadership positions, citing the recent removal of former Minority Leader Haruna Iddrisu as an example.
