Former Second Lady Samira Bawumia has said her husband, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, will be the president for the young people and a president who thinks about the next generation.
According to Samira Bawumia, Dr Bawumia will introduce policies that will secure a better future for Ghanaian youths.
Speaking to some NPP delegates, Samira Bawumia stated, “He will be a president for the young people. He will be a president who thinks about the next generation and introduces policies that will secure a better future for you.”
So I beg of you, on January 31, help us place our faith in me as a mother, as a big sister, as someone who cares about you. I will work hard to help.
The government, I will not be part but I will be behind him, so whatever you tell me, I will make him know”.
However, some Ghanaians have reacted to Samira Bawumia’s comments, saying, “Why didn’t he do all these things as a VP for eight solid years? All the so-called lecture notes to stabilise the cedi, gold for oil, all failed miserably”.
“Dr Bawumia is a great role model in academia, but a misfit when it comes to actual economic management and the presidency. “Wow, what a solid economic management team”, another netizen added.
An X user stated, “A president for the youth? Come on. When her husband was running the economy, youth unemployment shot past 14%, inflation hit 40%, and the cedi was doing backflips. His digital Ghana talk didn’t stop prices from choking the average Ghanaian”.
A Ghanaian noted, “There are preachers on the street everywhere. What they say is different from what they do. We have heard such promises in 2016, only for the worse to have happened to our nation”.
“I genuinely wonder what she sees when she looks at this country. Because to campaign for Bawumia now, after all we’ve endured, feels more like delusion, deceit, or desperation”, a netizen added.
“The Dr Bawumia we know is a man for the youth. He’s the only man who consistently fights for the youth of this country by creating youth-centred policies”, one more X user added.
Also, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, a former Vice President and New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer hopeful, has said he is in politics to serve the people of Ghana and not to enrich himself.
According to Dr Bawumia, his political motivation for entering politics is rooted in service to the nation.
Dr Bawumia detailed that if he were in power to enrich himself, he would not have cancelled the Mobile Money Interoperability project, which the NDC had proposed a contract worth $1.2 billion.
He revealed that the entire project was completed for just $4.5 million and could have pocketed the rest to enrich himself.
He highlighted that his greatest joy comes from seeing how his projects are transforming the lives of Ghanaians.
Speaking to delegates during his campaign tour of Amenfi West in the Western Region, Dr Bawumia stated, “I entered politics to serve the people, not to enrich myself. When we initiated the Mobile Money Interoperability project, the NDC had proposed a contract worth $1.2 billion.
We cancelled that deal and completed the entire project for just $4.5 million, not even up to $5 million. This initiative has greatly benefited Ghanaians and created thousands of jobs,” he said.
He added, “My greatest joy comes from seeing how these projects are transforming lives, not from personal gain. I am not in politics for money; I am here to make a difference in the lives of ordinary Ghanaians,” he added.
