My Vote is For Bawumia, This is Why!

To start with, let me give credit to His Excellency President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo for braving the tempests of foreign induced difficulties that plagued the world in 2020/21 with the outbreak of Covid-19 and the sudden Russia/Ukraine war that soon became a tsunami gone haywire. The prudence before, after, and current ensured our safety and security, and a major turnaround of our economy, the latter not being a streak of good luck but by virtue of the economic genius we have in Ghana as Vice President, in the name of Dr Mahmoud Bawumia.

It is one thing to sit on the fence and shout instructions at the players on the field and another to actually play the game. Dr Mahmoud Bawumia was behind every single digital innovation that debuted in Ghana without prejudice to the general good works of the government. Today, there is little you cannot do with your mobile phone in terms of purchases, online registration of National Health Insurance, company registration, information checks, payments, emergency relief, deliveries, and so on.

Given the choice to rally behind an astute economist fashioned by time and experience into the finest Vice-President this country has ever had, it would be an absolute curse and a blight on the conscience of any voter not to vote for Dr Bawumia to continue the good works ongoing at this time, and to implement the plans he has for our great nation as President of Ghana.

Under his Presidency, students with disability will have the benefit of free tertiary education, including the children of cocoa farmers who number approximately 87,000 souls (eighty seven thousand). I am elated at the thought that the massive infrastructure works currently in progress will continue to expand at a phenomenal rate because he will hit the road running as did His Excellency President Akufo-Addo, a man future Ghanaian Presidents will continue to learn from the great legacy he will leave behind when he completes his term in office.

Teacher trainees will not suffer as they did under John Mahama, who cancelled their allowances. Nurses will not remain unpaid for two years and salaries for 21 months forfeited. That is what John Mahama did to the nurses; he paid three out of the 24 months that his government owed them in salaries and told them to kiss their fortunes good bye!

Dr Mahmoud Bawumia will not allow two million guinea fowls to fly to Burkina Faso to forage. He would ensure that they remained in Ghana and enjoyed like the juicy “afa Baba” zabo in Tamale. Aha, you get the drift? Under a Bawumia Presidency, millions of jobs will be secured through partnerships, and other initiatives unlike the sorry situation under John Mahama who gave Agambire five million US Dollars to train 15000 youth in ICT and …. well the money vanished into thin air! Or was it into Government Official One’s pocket? I hope that by now you have gotten the picture!

Dr Bawumia will come with the friendliest tax reforms ever to transform our economy. Certain initiatives that he had no control over as head of the EMT, like the E-levy for example, would be cancelled to save the pockets of Ghanaians. Of course, there were instances that he had no control over because in Cabinet some issues were voted on, and the E-levy was one that he did not approve but had to contend with the majority that carried the vote.

Turning to agriculture, there will be mechanised centers throughout the districts to enhance food production and create a reversal of the mass exodus that we have seen over the years of folks from the rural to the urban areas. This is real, unlike John Mahama, who was content with a stunt in this regard after showcasing Zainabu, a rural single mother, who raised her swinery from one pig to ten. The intentional insult to Muslims by using a Muslima for this propaganda is outrageous, knowing that Muslims do not rear, trade, or consume swine! Was he also her customer, chewing pork as he binged on his toxic alcoholic drinks?

Anyway, the medical drones that Dr Bawumia brought to Ghana have saved thousands of lives by delivering much needed medicines on time to needy patients far away. He was commended by the US Vice-President on many occasions as she drew parallels with this all-too-fantastic life-saving initiative. How then can we not vote for Dr Bawumia?

John Mahama took 51 million US Dollars as support money to introduce LGBTQ, then he lost the 2016 elections. What happened to the money? You understand? It is no wonder that he came up with the idea of a 24 hour economy, which will showcase the proliferation of vice at the cost of dignity, morality, and chastity! After all, only two places in the world have such systems called, “Red Light District” in Holland and Belgium, where sex is traded on a 24 hour basis. So his idea of running 24 hour Discos carries the same banner of infidelity and incivility. To accept a 24 hour economy, you must either be a thief or a witch cum wizard or a useless liability of a human being because these are the categories of beings that commit excesses, loosening their grip on sanity! Dr Bawumia has totally refused to entertain the idea of LGBTQ in Ghana because it violates the tenets of all religions, including the traditional.

And of course, unlike John Mahama, who has promised to cancel Free SHS, a claim confirmed by palm wine tapper Asiedu Ntetia, Dr Bawumia will certainly not cancel it. How can he cancel what he started with President Akufo-Addo, and how can he do so now that he has announced extension of same to tertiary students with disabilities and children of cocoa farmers?

So a vote for John Mahama is a vote to sink Ghana into the invisible darkness of an abyss out of which there might not be a return while a vote for Dr Bawumia means honour, dignity, enhanced morality, thriving businesses in a digitalised economy where we have the opportunity to work on our own without limitations that once inhibited our progress, enhanced mechanised agriculture, and continued free SHS.

Long live Dr Bawumia, long live the NPP, and long live our living legend – President Nana Akufo-Addo!
