Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer, has levelled an allegation that the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC).
According to Dr Bawumia, the NDC is stealing the roads constructed and commissioned by the former NPP government under the Akufo-Addo government.
He disclosed that the NPP have now compiled videos of all the roads they completed while in office to ensure that the NDC does not steal their roads.
Speaking to the Minority Caucus in a closed-door briefing on the eve of Parliament’s resumption, Dr Bawumia stated, The Yendi to Tatale road, it’s amazing they had the audacity to claim, it is obviously clear those like that we have commission.
Thankfully, now we have put together all the videos of roads that we completed when we were in office, and we will make them available to our communicators and to all of you so that they cannot steal any roads,” he added.
Some Ghanaians reacting to the viral video shared on X wrote, “Is the road belongs to them or all Ghanaians to benefit from eeiish this guy is not presidential material aswer what’s this nonsense eno be him talk say Ghanaians no go chop road”.
“Hrrrr @MBawumia, are u sure you want to become the president of Ghana? Paa, what nonsense are u talking abt the Ndc is stealing ur roads. S3 s3n does the roads benefit Ghanaians, including u or it belong to ur family members only? Are you the same guy who said we’re not going chop roads, you, eh?”, one X user added.
A netizen added, “Now it’s confirmed that Bawumia does not speak from what he knows and believes, but some people are just giving this innocent man some speech to go read for the public to vilify him”.
“A man cannot just make any reasonable statement that depicts someone who is mentally sound to be president. Anytime he speaks, people hate him more. Maybe they should be writing speeches for him. He is just not a good speaker”, one X user added.
“They can’t steal what belongs to Ghana as a country. We don’t care who fixed the road; we just need it fixed.
And the fact that you first think about NDC stealing the roads is so telling about the NPP party’s character”, a netizen added.
In related news, Dr Bawumia has made a decisive signal that the party has finished the period of introspection following their defeat in the 2024 elections.
According to Dr Bawumia, the NPP’s posture going into the new parliamentary session must be that of a “government-in-waiting” ahead of the 2028 general elections.
Dr Bawumia highlighted that the minority should no longer view itself as a wounded political group.
He stressed that the action in Parliament, public statement and constituency engagement must reinforce the perception that the NPP is ready to govern again.
Dr Bawumia stated, “Let every Ghanaian who watches this session come away thinking: the NPP is ready, and the NPP is on our side.
“The road to 2028 will not be won in one rally or one manifesto launch,” he told the Caucus. “It will be won day by day, question by question, statement by statement, community by community, and constituency by constituency. And in that work, you, the Minority Caucus, are indispensable.”
“We have finished the period of introspection. We must now position ourselves credibly as a party preparing to govern from 7th January 2029,” he stated.
Dr Bawumia added, “We must always project this posture, that we are a party preparing to govern. This will send a strong and well-meaning message to the people of Ghana and emphasise our belief that it is only the NPP that can move this nation on a glorious path”.
“I will be directly involved in supporting you to achieve this. The entire party is also building a strong architecture to support you through the sector committees, so that we sing from the same hymn sheet and act with a coordinated strategy at every point in time,” he added.
