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.

I THINK BAWUMIAH IS TALKING TOO MUCH. TOO MUCH OF EVERYTHING IS BAD. WHO DOES HE THINKS HE IS? HE IS BEHAVING AS IF HE IS ON THE BALLOT BOX. THE NDC DO NOT TAKE ADVISE. RAWLINGS HAS SAID THE NPP ARE THE SAME PEOPLE THEY ONLY CHANGE THEIR NAME SO THE NDC SHOULD NOT FOLLOW THEN. BUT EACH TIME NAWUMIAH SPEAKS THEY WILL REPLY AND THEY ARE MAKING HIM POPULAR CANT THEY IGNORE HIM? THE MAN DOES NOT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT POLITICS HE IS RAW AND THE NDC ARE GIVING HIM UN NEEDED ATTENSION AND HE IS ENJOYING IT. LOOK AT THE WAY HE SPEAKS TO THE PRESIDENT? WHO DEOS HE THINKS HE IS?
that will be his end paa. why politicians dont move on with their business after they loose election. some words must be watch before authoring them.
"The one who loves Northerners is Nana Akufo-Addo" To you Mr. Bawumia if Nana Akufo Addo is the one who love Northerners the he in not fit to be the president of Ghana. What about the rest of Ghanaians.
You people don't get the debate. if indeed Mahama is a northerner and thinks best of the north, where is the Sada, Suba, Gyeeda, and the rest of Dada monies meant for the development of the north. Talk of the ***barred word*** thst G.Fowels has flew to Burkina Faso. All INTO THEIR STOMACH. Mahama is not trustworthy, period.
God open the eye's of Ghanaians who are still not seeing the wickedness of Mahama and NDC.
WHAT ELSE DO GHANAIANSNEED TO HEAR? THE WHOLE THING IS SAID BY BAWUMIA. HA HA HAAAAA. THE GUY IS GOOD. KEEP IT UP. YOUR STRUGGLE WILL NEVER BE IN VAIN. GOD WILL SURELY VIST GHANA
As for you Baumia I pity you a lot. If you fail to win this election that will be the end of you in NPP. I don't think any new flag bearer will name you again as running mate neither will NPP allow you to take over from Akuffo Addo. Just pray fervently that you win this election otherwise you are finish in NPP.
