Flagbearer for the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia
Flagbearer for the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Alhaji Mahamudu Bawumia, made a bold statement regarding his chances in the upcoming presidential elections during a high-energy rally in Saboba, Northern Ghana.
With a sense of unwavering confidence, Bawumia told a large crowd of supporters that his victory was not only inevitable but also a matter of how wide the margin would be.
“Victory is not a question; it’s certain,” Bawumia declared, his voice resonating with determination. “The only thing that remains unclear is the margin by which I will win. But we are going to win, and we will win decisively.” His words were met with loud cheers and applause as the people of Saboba expressed their confidence in his leadership.
The rally, which drew thousands of NPP supporters, saw Bawumia urging them to show up at the polls in large numbers to ensure a landslide victory. He emphasized that a decisive win would help neutralize the efforts of his adversaries and put the country on a path of continued progress.
Bawumia, who hails from the Northern Region, took the opportunity to criticize his main political rival, former President John Dramani Mahama, accusing him of neglecting the region during his tenure in office.
He pointed to Mahama’s failure to deliver on promises despite significant financial resources allocated to development projects.
“Former President Mahama had access to substantial funds for development, but what did he do with them?” Bawumia asked. “He mismanaged the funds that were meant for the SADA project, and we saw nothing but empty promises and failures.”
The SADA (Savannah Accelerated Development Authority) initiative, meant to address the developmental challenges in the northern regions, faced heavy criticism during Mahama’s presidency due to alleged mismanagement and unaccounted funds.
Bawumia did not hold back, pointing to what he described as a significant example of misallocated resource, the “Guinness fowls” that were never accounted for, a reference to a scandal involving the project’s supposed investment in poultry.
“The money was there,” Bawumia continued, “but the people of the North did not see the benefits. The living conditions of the people did not improve, and the promises made during the SADA project were never fulfilled.”
