Vice-President Mahamudu Bawumia
Vice-President Mahamudu Bawumia has queried former President John Mahama for engaging in what he described as tribal politics.
According to him, during the former President’s campaign tour in the Nakpanduri-Bunkpurugu Constituency, he said the NPP has not demonstrated any care for the people of the Nakpanduri-Bunkpurugu Constituency.
But Dr. Bawumia dared him to mention any development project in the Nakpanduri-Bunkpurugu Constituency that the NDC government undertook when it was in power.
“The NPP appointed a Bimoba man as the North East Regional Minister, Solomon Boar and Deputy Attorney General Joseph Kpemka, can John Mahama tell us the Bimoba man he appointed in his eight years? So stop the tribal politics, as a former president we don’t expect you to do these types of politics if you have something to show then show it but don’t talk about tribal politics,” Dr. Bawumia asserted.
He indicated that the NPP has implemented the Free SHS policy, PFJ, One Constituency One Ambulance, One Village One Dam, NABCO, 1D1F among others which has transformed the lives of Ghanaians and the Bimoba community as well.
Addressing the people of Bunkpurugu in the Nakpanduri-Bunkpurugu Constituency, Dr. Bawumia said the NDC could not manage the country’s economy and for that matter had to cancel a lot of programmes.
He told the chiefs and people of Bunkpurugu that the NPP Government will soon implement a policy to support students who are able to pass their SHS examination and cannot afford to pay for their tertiary education.
The Vice-President said President Akufo-Addo cares for Ghanaians, especially those from poorer parts of the country and assured that government will ensure that children who are not privileged receive education to the university level.
“Our parents don’t have to sell their properties to pay for school fees so they will all go to school for free so that we all get the benefit of it,” he said.
Dr. Bawumia noted that President Akufo-Addo is running an inclusive government, adding that every Ghanaian will be included in every development of the country, and that the achievement of the NPP Government in the Nakpanduri-Bunkpurugu Constituency is unprecedented.
“You have seen the Bunkpurugu-Nalerigu road and for the first time it will be asphalt from Bunkpurugu-Nalerigu, the paperwork for the Bunkpurugu District Hospital has been completed so within next month, we expect the contractors to get to the grounds and start the construction of the Bunkpurugu District Hospital.
He urged the people of the Nakpanduri-Bunkpurugu Constituency to vote massively for President Akufo-Addo and the NPP Parliamentary Candidate Solomon Boar to do more in the constituency.
