Mahama only ‘good at making our money disappear’: Bawumia
Vice-presidential candidate of the main opposition
New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr Mahamudu Bawumia has
said although President John Mahama says he is not
a “magician” to be putting money in the
pockets of jobless youth in the country, he has
proven to be a very good magician when it comes to
squandering Ghana’s money through dubious
schemes.

“He (President Mahama) tells us he’s not a
magician. He says he’s not a magician to solve
the problem of unemployment. But, he’s a very
good magician when it comes to the disappearance
of Ghana’s money under ‘create, loot and
share’ schemes like SADA, Woyome, Ameri,
Karpower, GYEEDA, Waterville, ISOFOTON, etc.

“President Mahama is a very good magician [who
is good] at making our money disappear. We want
change. We want to elect a new President. We
don’t want a dead goat as a president. A dead
goat is a dead goat, whether in Ashanti, Volta,
Greater Accra, Brong Ahafo, Eastern, Upper West,
Upper East, Western, Central or Northern. We
don’t want to vote for a dead goat,” Dr
Bawumia told NPP supporters in the Volta Region on
Sunday.

He also described Mr Mahama as a “dead goat”
who is no more needed by Ghanaians. “They cannot
pay for School Feeding, they cannot pay for Mass
Cocoa Spraying. The National Youth Employment
Programme has collapsed under their watch and they
cannot pay contractors. That is why we are saying
they are an incompetent government,” he said.

Dr Bawumia was confident that the people of Ghana
“don’t want to vote for a president who cannot
think far. Of what use is a president who cannot
think far? We want a farsighted President. We
don’t want to vote for a president whose
government is corrupt, and we definitely don’t
want to vote for an incompetent President.”

He assured the people of the Volta Region that
“in 18 days’ time a new Ghana will be born,
and we will begin to see the restoration of a
leadership of vision, integrity and
incorruptibility under Nana Addo Dankwa
Akufo-Addo. In 18 days’ time, we will have a new
President-Elect of the Republic of Ghana. We will
replace this corrupt and incompetent government of
President Mahama.”

Dr. Bawumia added that “in 18 days’ time, you
will begin to see the process of the restoration
of the teacher training and nursing allowances. We
will begin the process of transformation of the
economy which brings down unemployment and brings
jobs to our people.”

He, therefore, urged residents of Aflao and the
populace of the Volta Region to unite and ignore
the tribal and ethnocentric politics being waged
by President Mahama.

“Let us all come together as one country, and
let us not allow President Mahama to divide us. He
has no message, he has lost the argument. You
cannot govern with propaganda and tribalism. Away
with tribalism and let’s get together with unity
under Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo,” he
appealed.

Thanking the people of Aflao who turned out in
their thousands to attend the rally, Dr. Bawumia
stated that “from what I am seeing today, I can
see why some people are panicking. I can see why
they are making nonsensical statements, and I can
see why, Insha Allah, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo
will be the next President of Ghana.”
