President Mahama and Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia
President John Mahama has stated that the New Patriotic Party (NPP) will dump Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the vice presidential candidate after using him for the party’s dirty job.
According to the President, the NPP would never consider Northerners for leadership positions.
He said, “Alhaji Aliu Mahama was Vice President under the NPP government. He served faithfully under President Kufuor, and so when eight years was up and President Kufuor was leaving, the natural order of succession is that he should have been given the opportunity to lead that party, but 17 people contested him and defeated him.”
“I feel sad when I see some of our northern brothers running around and also doing certain things. They will use you and dump you.”
He cautioned Northerners in the NPP to be cautious about the political choice they make.
The President made this known on his three-day campaign tour of the Upper West region ahead of the general elections.
He assured residents that the Jambusi Water Project would be inaugurated in two weeks’ time to supply 3 million gallons of water to inhabitants in Wa and its environs to lessen their plight.
Meanwhile, President Mahama has inaugurated the Lambussie Community-Day Senior High School (SHS) in the Upper West Region.
