HAJIA SAMIRA Bawumia, wife of the vice
presidential candidate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has taken a big shot at
the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC) and its leader, President John
Dramani Mahama, describing it as a corrupt government.She noted that
Ghanaians have seen the corrupt deeds and bad governance of the president and
want to change them on December 7.
According to her, the youth and
well-meaning Ghanaians have taken a decision to elect an incorruptible leader
like Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, flag bearer of the NPP, to rescue the country
from total collapse.
Mrs Samira Bawumia stressed, “We need a competent
leader. We need a selfless leader. We need a visionary leader, a leader with
good judgement and a leader who loves the country more than he loves his
pockets.”
She took on the Mahama government for wasting millions of the
taxpayers’ money on rebranding some 116 MMT buses at the expense of the
suffering masses.
“You misappropriated our money to rebrand buses with
your images, and when we complained, you called our bluff and vowed to do even
more. You then proceeded to use our money to rebrand the whole of Ghana with
your giant billboards and campaign posters. Every nook and cranny of this
country has been rebranded with John Mahama’s campaign billboards and NDC
parliamentary candidates for the various constituencies.
“Well, President
Mahama wants every Ghanaian to see him everywhere, hence his decision to mount
those giant billboards which are very expensive. Okay, we want to tell him that
yes, we see those billboards, but we also see corruption. We see those
billboards, but we also see incompetence. We see those billboards, but we also
see suffering. We see those billboards, but we also see mismanagement,” Samira
charged.
The wife of NPP’s vice presidential candidate was speaking at
the party’s Greater Accra Regional campaign launch in Tema on
Sunday.
Samira further accused the NDC of not taking a cue from the
GH¢3.6 million of Ghana oil revenue for the rebranding than to continue branding
the nation with tax payers’ money on party paraphernalia and giant bill boards
across the length and breadth of the country.
Mrs Bawumia recalled, “NDC
used millions of our monies on bus rebranding. Ghanaians wailed and advised the
NDC to withdraw the contract but they didn’t heed to the advice. Currently, NDC
flags and Mahama’s billboards are all over. They’ve branded every part of Ghana
with Mahama’s posters.” |
