Delivering a lecture on the Ghanaian economy themed “the state of the Ghanaian economy; a foundation of concrete or straw” Dr. Bawumia urged Ghanaians to dump the NDC saying it will be suicidal to retain the NDC.

“The fact is that you cannot achieve brighter days with mismanagement, incompetence and corruption,” added the former deputy governor of the Bank of Ghana.
Former President Kufour who chaired the event stated that Ghanaians are suffocating under the leadership of president Mahama saying the economy is the most topical issue in the country.
“Ghanaians are mourning,” he lamented, urging Ghanaians to give the NPP the chance in the forthcoming elections.
