Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, running mate to Nana Akufo-Addo for the December 7 election, has observed that the NDC is resorting to the message of division, regionalism and tribalism because they realise that their record, which has been characterised by unprecedented corruption and incompetence, is poor.
Speaking at Diaso in the Upper West Denkyira Constituency of the Central region on Wednesday, Dr. Bawumia stated that the NDC realising that the record of John Mahama is a bad one on which they cannot campaign and win, have decided to seek refuge in the message of division.
He, however, informed the NDC that their tactic is destined to fail because the people of Ghana will ultimately remember the John Mahama administration for its corruption, mismanagement and the hardships being faced.
“The NDC know that they have not performed. They know they did not work for us and so they have decided to preach division in this country with the hope that it will help them. They have begun and will tell you that the NPP does not like Northerners or this group or the other group so don’t vote for them. Is this what develops a nation? If you have performed, everyone will know you have performed, you will not need to play one group against the other to win”, he said to loud cheers from the hundreds that had come out of their homes or closed their shops in the Diaso township to listen to him.
The North Will Remember the SADA Loot Under Mahama
Referencing a statement made by the Chief of Staff over the weekend that Northerners should vote for Mahama because he is a Northerner, Dr. Bawumia wondered why the Chief of Staff was not applying the same principle since he is from the Eastern region, where Nana Akufo-Addo also hails from, if indeed voting for someone from “your region is what is needed to positively transform the lives of an individual or group”.
“Over the weekend we heard the Chief of Staff in the North saying that John Mahama is from the North so people from the North should vote for him; ironically, the Chief of Staff is from the Eastern region, so why is he not voting for Nana Akufo-Addo? The Chief of Staff thinks he can deceive us.
“The people of the North do not need the Chief of Staff to remind them that Mahama is their brother; the people of the North are witnesses to the corruption and incompetence. What happened to the SADA money? The people of the North remember how John Mahama allowed money meant for their development to be stolen by his people”, he said.
Stressing that it was ultimately about who can deliver and improve on the lives of the people, Dr. Bawumia noted that even though he is from the North, he won’t just campaign on that fact but indicated that the most important reason why the NPP must be voted for in the December Election is that the Nana Akufo-Addo – Mahamudu Bawumia – NPP is the competent and visionary team that can be trusted to change the lives of Ghanaians positively and bring the development, jobs and prosperity desired.
Dr. Bawumia who has been on a tour of constituencies in the Central region since Monday, was accompanied on his tour in the Upper West Denkyira Constituency by Member of Parliament for the Constituency, Benjamin Ayeh and NPP Parliamentary Candidate for the Constituency, Samuel Nsonwa Gyan.
So far, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has visited the Gomoa East, Asikuma-Odoben-Brakwa, Ekumfi, Ajumako-Enyan-Essiam and the Upper West Denkyira Constituencies.

I have realised that anytime Dr. Bawumia speaks, members of NDC became confused and started speaking in tongues . Especially, that block headed deputy general secretary of NDC. (what's his name). Anytime he Dr. Speaks Koku is always the first person to speak in tongues followed by the President himself.
see who is talking bawumia d most unfortunate human being i haf ever come across on earth is he not de one who claimed to haf got a voters register in his box where is de register look i dont think he is a compitent economist infact the opposite is true about him wab0npaaa he knows nothing but thankfully december is just at de corner and we shall see who is who in ghana politics they will see their real size in this country governance is not about arrogance oooo is about brain use not cheap talk like he does with his boss mr 73
When you ask all Muslims to vote for NPP there was nothing wrong with that statement. Confuse man
And you are combining policonomics with religion and tribalism. Snake man. Your agenda is to steel the minds of the people, kill them and destroy the nation but Mahama came to change lives, remove inequalities and transform Ghana. Can't you see what is happening to the ports, the schools, the hospitals, the roads. Even roads which have been ignored for many years are being transformed. Only the devil and his angels cannot see this transformation.
TALKING OF POOR RECORD????? THEN LOOK WHO`S TALKING..... SOME ECONOMIST INDEED. BUT SOMETIMES I BEGRUDGE THE TOP ECHELONS OF THE RULING PARTY FOR KEEPING CERTAIN RECORDS CONFIDENCIAL FOR DECOROUS REASONS. OTHERWISE THIS TH.IE.F. WILL BE PUT IN HIS PROPER PLACE OR IN SOME DUNGEON SOMEWHERE IN AFGHANISTAN OR SIBERIA. WHY SHOULD PRESIDENT ASK ROBERT MOGABE TO CALL OFF HIS TRIP TO GHANA? WHERE IS BUMPTY AKUFFO ADDO? AND HOW DID HE MARRY THAT FULANI HAR.LOT? IF ONLY GHANAIANS KNOW WHAT THIS CURSE HAS DONE TO THE NATION, THEY WILL PUKE EVEN AT THE MENTION OF HIS NAME.
NDC has become desperate. They are losing control of their campaign and are scared of Nana's confidence and bawumia's intelligence. Mahama is truly doomed
I can smell the impending NPP victory thru the desperation in NDC's empty words. Most floating voters are clearly not going to vote for ndc. NPP, the victory is clearly yours!!!
Please Doc. don't worry yourself about this dying soul.He is aware his master is definitely going to lose this election. All those campaigning for this administration are those who have had their share of the booty or just ***barred word*** - they don't understand what is happening
We will not vote for tribalistic preaching NDC
This Bawumia is God sent to Ghana. Nana Akufo Addo is truly a visionary. How did he know Bawumia was this good? I am amazed. This is an intelligent submission amongst many. NDC do tribal politics too much.
