Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, Running Mate of Nana Akufo-Addo, has pointed out that looking at the actions and policy decisions of the NDC government, there is no truth in their claim that they love Northerners but what is clear is that they love their stomachs and pockets.
The NPP Vice-Presidential candidate who made this point on Sunday at a mini-rally at Buipe in the Yapei-Kusawgu Constituency of the Northern region said that after losing the argument on the real issues that affect the livelihoods of people of the North, the NDC is now seeking to benefit from tribalism by claiming that they are ones who love Northerners but debunked that assertion as nothing but an empty lie borne out of desperation.
“The NDC has run out of the arguments, they cannot win the policy debate so they are resorting to tribalism, they want to divide this country. They say John Mahama is a Northerner, but what happened to the SADA Money? Who chopped the SADA Money? If they loved Northerners they wouldn’t have looted the SADA money”
“They say they love Northerners but they haven’t paid school feeding grants for our secondary schools in the north for two terms in a row; they say they love the Northerners but who chopped the GYEEDA money?” he stated.
Dr. Bawumia also cited the cancellation of the Teacher and Nursing Trainee Allowances which has greatly helped people from the North to train as teachers and nurses and whose cancellation has virtually ended the dreams of many thousands to pursue training in these important sectors.
“Who has refused to pay the Teacher training allowances which benefits Ghanaians including Northerners? Who has refused to pay the Nursing training allowances that benefits Ghanaians including northerners? They say they love Northerners, why has prices of fertilizers gone up so high? Our youth cannot find jobs and yet they say they love Northerners”, he said.
Continuing, Dr. Bawumia observed that the evidence only indicates that officials of the current John Mahama government only love their stomachs and boldly stated that Ghanaians are not going to vote on tribal basis but will vote for Nana Akufo-Addo who has demonstrated the necessary compassion, honesty and vision to secure the future of Ghanaians.
“They only love their stomachs. They only love their stomachs. The one who loves Northerners is Nana Akufo-Addo. We have to vote for a government of integrity, a government that has compassion, a government that has honesty and a government that has vision, we are not going to vote on tribal basis, we are going to vote for our future and that future rests with a government under Nana Akufo-Addo”, he noted.

Bawumia is awesome! What a scholar! What an Economist and what a man! Ghana is blessed to have such a in our next government.
Bawumia is a Certified Guaranteed Pathological Liar.
If mahama doesn't love northerners you think your nana addo that will forget about his Chebi people and solve the problems of northerners?? we are smarter than you bawumia.We have eyes for ourselves and can see weather mahama is doing well or bad. Have you been able to provide us even a single bole for any community in the north during the Kufour administration when you were the deputy governor of bank of Ghana?? we know you and your party npp. You only change names and probably your colors but your attitudes remain the same. JM toaso.
ATOPAHENE JOHN FORD MAHAMA IS THE GREATEST JULOR AND ***barred word*** GHANA EVER HAD AS A PRESIDENT. AS FOR THAT ONE HE IS THE WINNER. WITH HIS AND HIS BROTHER IBRAHIM'S BILLIONS OF DOLLARS OF INVESTMENTS IN DUBAI AND 23 CHILDREN AND COUNTING, NO ONE CAN CHALLENGE MAHAMA AND HIS GANG OF NDC JULOR. THAT IS WHY IT IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR GHANAIANS TO VOTE JULOR MAHAMA OUT IN DECEMBER 2016. INSHA ALLAHU!!!
This guy is too much,i admire him a great deal.His message is clear and real.Nana/Bawumia will rule Ghana better.CHANGE this corrupt,ethnocentic and incompetent Mahama gov't.
Even the founder of NDC no longer supports NDC or Mahama. Leave Bawumia alone. He speaks truth and sometime truth hurts.
I know your father will be turning in his grave for hearing all these non';sense from you. From JJ Rawlings, Prof. Mills and JDM,we know who had made the ultimate effort to make those of us feel as part of Ghana. Now you, Bawumia, can even wear batakari with pride because the ndc brought it to light as a national wear. Have you forgot what Ursula owusu, osafo marfo, and kennedy agyapong said about northners? tell me what change did the npp in it 8 years bring to the north. You are a disgrace to the north for bowing so low to the dirty work of the npp. I pity your end after December 7th
This elections is ISSUE BASED and the earlier all persons who have refused to accept this fact do that the better it will be for them. Are the issues being raised by Bawumia true of false? One cannot answer this question by attacking the person of Bawumia. In the same way, castings aspersions at Bawumia and prophesying on his future wont wash. It is only persons who has no answer to the issues raised who do this and the discerning electorates who read these things are gradually making up their minds on which party is making meaning of the issues at stake. The earlier politicians and their supporters take the electorates serious, the better.
God bless Dr.Bawumia. Ghana is forked by the NDC and everybody is suffering. High electricity bills, NHIS collapse, no money in the system, etc. Ghana is firmly in a ditch and we must change course. Tribalism by the Ndc this time will not work.
Bawumia is a very intelligent Ghanaian with book smarts. If NPP lose, God forbid, he is going to be just fine and can get work anywhere in the world. You my friend should about where you will be if Mahama wins. The country is already in sh1t. Ghana will be dead if Ndc win.
