The Vice President has revealed that the regions in the Northern part of Ghana have all been witnesses to former President and flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress, Mr. John Dramani Mahama’s tribal politics.
The Vice President made this revelation when he interacted with the Chiefs and good people of the Gbankoni, a town in the Bunkpurgu constituency in the North East region of Ghana.
According to Dr. Bawumia, the former president who has served as the Vice President and later President, never did anything significant thing for the Northern regions. This, according to Dr. Bawumia, led to the electorates neglecting him in 2016.
He added that Mr. Mahama is back to the region preaching the politics of hypocrisy is and deceit.
He said;
“A few days ago, the former President, John Mahama, was in Bunkpurgu saying the NPP government has not demonstrated any care for the Bimobas and asking them to vote for him to be President again.”
He added;
“This is John Dramani Mahama who was in office for eight years and cannot show what he did in Bimoba land and he is coming to say NPP, which is doing so much hasn’t done anything for the people. This is what I call ‘munaafiki’ politics (politics of hypocrisy). We don’t want munaafiki politics.
”You were in government for eight years and you did very little for the Bunkpurugu constituency. The NPP has been in office for just 4 years and if you ask us what we have done for our people, we will tell you what we have done. We have Planting for Food and Jobs which is helping our farmers.
We have One Village One Dam, One Constituency One Ambulance, One District One Factory, we have NABCO and we have Free SHS. We have infrastructure projects in virtually every community in Bunkpurugu constituency.
The vice president then noted that the Akuffo Addo led government is committed to doing more for the people of the Northern regions and for that matter every Ghanaian.
He said;
“So we know, as for the government of Nana Akufo-Addo, we can point out what we have done, but John Mahama cannot point out what he did for the Bunkpurgu Constituency .”
According to him, former President Mahama has no legacy, hence everything he has promised to do is an evidence of a desperate flagbearer.
“He has no legacy in Bunkpurugu constituency but he is going round asking for your votes again.” Instead of talking about his record, he is rather saying NPP has ignored Bimobas.”
“The north has long seen through Mahama’s politics of tribalism.”
Dr. Bawumia noted that president Akufo-Addo understood the real needs of the Ghanaian people after extensive consultations across the country prior to the 2016 elections, hence the government’s many pro poor interventions and all-inclusive development policies.
He continued by saying;
“The government of Akufo-Addo has proven that it is a government for the people because of it’s all-inclusive policies as well as infrastructure development.”
He encouraged all Ghanaians to vote massively for the New Patriotic government come December 7, 2020.
