Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia
The flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, has assured Ghanaians that he is a solution-oriented action man who gets things done, with a vision for future growth and prosperity.
According to him, he has been leading efforts to ensure Ghana’s youth can fully participate in the global economy, and reiterated his leadership mantra, “To Lead is to Solve.”
Addressing a huge crowd of supporters at Takoradi on Sunday where the party unveiled its manifesto for the upcoming elections, Dr. Bawumia emphasised that the NPP’s proposals are designed to provide solutions to everyday issues for all Ghanaians and the business community, including business growth, jobs, and prosperity.
He highlighted his values-based, selfless leadership style, which prioritises integrity and brings people together regardless of their background.
Dr. Bawumia said the “To Lead is to Solve” mantra, which resonates throughout the NPP’s manifesto, demonstrates his commitment to problem-solving leadership and a brighter future for Ghana.
“We are in the middle of a global revolution; the Fourth Industrial Revolution. It is reshaping and disrupting our world in so many ways. And rapidly too.
“Entire industries have, and continue to be, disrupted by the technologies powering this revolution, including blockchain
technologies, artificial intelligence (AI), data analytics, cloud computing, robotics and engineering, quantum computing, augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), IOT (Internet of things), advanced materials, digital manufacturing, and mobile internet, among others. Ghana cannot afford to be left behind,” he asserted.
He added that fortunately, Ghana has an innovative, creative, and energised human resource base in its youth, with the capabilities to rise, under the right leadership, to the occasion. Leadership with bold solutions for this new future.
“I have demonstrated my understanding of the issues, my commitment, and my willingness to lead Ghana, especially our youth, in taking advantage of the opportunities a digital, high-tech world provides,” Dr. Bawumia noted.
He continued, “My vision is to create a tent big enough to accommodate all our people, to tap into the resourcefulness and talents of our people irrespective of our different political and religious views, to channel our energies into building the kind of country that assures a safe, prosperous, and dignified future for all Ghanaians, and to create sustainable jobs with meaningful pay for all, and for Ghana to participate fully in the global digital revolution.”
“If you want a President you can trust to initiate and drive innovative and impactful ideas to transform Ghana; who has personal integrity, and can be trusted to fight corruption; a President you can trust to work hard, tirelessly and selflessly, for Ghana; who has a proven track record to create jobs for the youth; a man with the vision and commitment to prepare Ghana for the Fourth Industrial Revolution; a man committed to protecting and using our
natural resources for the benefit of Ghanaians, I am your man for the job.
“Above all, if you want a President who would be more accountable to Ghanaians and will take a long-term view of developing Ghana because he will have to resubmit himself to you, Ghanaians, again, after this year’s election as a President, I am your man,” the NPP flagbearer said.
He indicated further, “I have clarity in my mind on what to do from Day One when you elect me as your President. I am prepared and ready to work when you give me the opportunity. Together, we can succeed in building a progressive society of possibilities, enterprise, compassion, open opportunities and shared prosperity for every Ghanaian born rich or poor, born in the north or the south, born Christian, Muslim or of other faith, or born a girl or boy.”
“I have the courage to accept when things do not go as well as planned, but I also have a mindset of possibilities, and faith in ourselves, that we can rise and achieve great things in our lifetime. I am focused on practical, achievable, high-value objectives with destiny-changing payoffs for the next generation, and with your help, will execute well.
“What I am offering you, and every Ghanaian of every creed or faith, age, gender, social status, or ability, is a values-based, Selfless Leadership with Bold Solutions for Jobs and Business.
“I am excited about the prospects of the nation we are building, and the brilliant minds being nurtured. Join me, as I seek to provide a problem-solving leadership of integrity for the next generation,” he appealed.
The party called for support and votes to elect Dr. Bawumia as President and NPP parliamentary candidates, to translate their plans into reality.
With the help of the Almighty God and the people’s votes, the NPP aims to build a Ghana of possibilities and prosperity.
“We have also shown how our Presidential Candidate, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, is the man who can bring values-based, selfless leadership with integrity to the job as President, and as a solution-oriented action man who gets things done.
“A man who brings people together, irrespective of faith, gender, age, ethnic origin, economic or social status. A visionary man who understands what will drive future growth and prosperity and has been leading from the front in ensuring the youth of this country can fully participate in the global economy.
“He is a leader who means business and has demonstrated he is not afraid of hard work. We ask for your support and your votes to elect him as President, and also elect our NPP parliamentary candidates, to translate these well-thought-out plans into reality,” the party stressed.
