Mahama Ayariga, MP for Bawku Central, has urged voters to reject the New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer Dr Mahamudu Bawumia in the 2024 general elections.
He accused Dr Bawumia of driving the country to the brink of collapse through his leadership of the government’s Economic Management Team.
Speaking at the National Democratic Congress (NDC) campaign launch on Saturday, July 27, Ayariga emphasised that Dr Bawumia has a proven track record of mismanaging the economy.
In a comparison between NDC flagbearer John Dramani Mahama and Dr Bawumia, Ayariga noted that the former has a track record of delivering a strong economy, whereas the latter does not.
“Mahama produced the best economic growth as Chairman of the Economic Management Team in 2010, not in the history of Ghana, but the whole world. The second Northern Candidate Dr Mahamudu Bawumia is the Chairman of the Economic Management Team of NPP government, even though he has been running away from that fact.
“Under his leadership, this country has suffered a near economic collapse, our banking sector has collapsed, our finances have collapsed, we have become one of the indebted countries and corruption has become rife. The challenge that confronts us as a people of the North is to make a choice between these two people [Bawumia, Mahama].
“One that has a track record of collapsing our economy and finances, and the one that has a track record of delivering the best economy that this country has ever experienced. Who will we vote for? John Dramani Mahama.”
