In an interview with GhanaWeb on Monday 5th June 2023, Hon. Ali Suraj, an activist, member of the New Patriotic Party, and former Organiser of the New Patriotic Party in the United States, pleaded with delegates to consider voting for Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia as the party’s next Flagbearer in the impending delegate conference.

When making a decision, he encourages the delegate to consider history, competence, achievements, dedication, and loyalty.
He further claims that, in the global economy, digitalization has taken centre stage, and that the New Patriotic Party requires someone with the necessary qualifications to lead Ghana towards the digitalization drive in order to keep up with the speed in the digital world.

“History has it that the Danquah, Dombo, Busia tradition is the oldest political tradition in Ghana that dates as far back 1947, Chief Dombo represented the Northern territories through the Northern peoples party ( NPP).

“Busia who hails from Wenchi in the Ahafo Region was the prime minister from 1969 to 1972 who helped to restore civilian Government following military rule has been fully represented by the John Agyekum Kuffour Administration and Now J.B Danquah is fully represented by this current administration ( President Nana addo Danquah Akufo Addo).

“I think is time we rally behind Dr Bawumia who may represented Dombo and who many has said to the most active vice president since independence , the 2008 election petition is evidence that Dr Bawumia needs to be rewarded for his contribution when the party needs Men to represent them, he has able to distinguished himself during the court case and from then he became the darling boy of the grassroots of the party .
“Let bring someone who is a unifier and multilingual,who can bring unity among the rank and file of the party, what amazes me is his relationship with the Christian community and how well he relates with them. We need a leader who is tolerant and can bring all sects under one umbrella to move as a united nation void of any ethnic disagreement.

“His leadership role cannot be questioned and I think when given opportunity he will deliver because he is the only person who can bring all the candidates together at the end of the primaries due to his leadership skillsas as a united front,”he noted.
Then, Ali Suraj outlined some of Dr. Bawumia’s measures that, in his opinion, merit praise and should be taken into account when delegates are selecting the flagbearer.

As examples of the vice president’s accomplishments, he cited the use of drones for delivery, digitization, gold as a substitute for oil, paperless port systems, GhanaCard, and digital address systems.

Competent Bawumia is above all the aspirants – Prof. Kingsley Nyarko

Most credible politician
Most credible politician

Professor Kingsley Nyarko, the Member of Parliament for the Kwadaso constituency, has publicly voiced his support for Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia as the most deserving candidate for the New Patriotic Party‘s (NPP) flagbearership position.

According to him, Bawumia has delivered his role as vice president of Ghana with exceptional skill and effectiveness, making him a strong contender for the party’s highest leadership position.

Speaking in an interview with Pure FM on May 29, 2023, Professor Nyarko referred to Article 60, Clause 6 of the Ghanaian Constitution, which states that the vice president shall assume office for the unexpired term of the president in the event of their death, resignation, or removal from office.

He emphasized that the primary responsibility of the vice president is to support the president. Therefore, to assess Bawumia’s suitability for the flagbearership, one must evaluate his performance in fulfilling this role.

He went on to say that Bawumia has unquestionably proven himself as a capable leader, highlighting his accomplishments and impact.

He further used the initials of Bawumia’s name to describe him as one of the best candidates in the race.

According to Prof. Nyarko’s acronym, Bawumia represents the qualities of being the “Best achiever or accomplisher with unique unmatched… masterclass ideas above all the aspirants.”

“The Constitution of Ghana, Article 60, when you read Sub-clause 6… it says whenever the president dies, resigns, or is removed from office, the vice president shall assume office for the unexpired term of the office of the president with effect from the date of the death, resignation, or the removal of the president… all those who will contest have the capacity to lead, but why do we have to choose the vice-president? We choose him to come and support the president. So, you have to ask yourself, the work that he came to do, was he able to do it? Did he make any impact?

“If the answer is no, then it means he doesn’t qualify to be considered, but this is somebody who has become vice president, and all of us attest to the fact that the man has acquitted himself so well, he has worked in terms of supporting the president’s agenda… take a pen and write Bawumia vertically, so B stands for best, A, achiever or accomplisher, W, with, U, Unique/unmatched, M masterclass, I ideas, A, Above all the aspirants,” he said.

Meanwhile, five flagbearer hopefuls have picked up their nomination forms to contest the race. They include former Energy Minister Boakye Agyarko, Dr. Kofi Konadu Apraku, Francis Addai-Nimoh, former General Secretary of the NPP Kwabena Agyei Agyepong, and Dr. Owusu Afriyie, former minister of Food and Agriculture.

On the other hand, other notable figures like Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, Assin Central MP Kennedy Ohene Agyapong, and Alan Kyerematen are expected to pick their nominations in the coming days for the election, which is set for November 4,2023.

NPP gov’t is dedicated to its commitments- Credible Bawumia speaks

Credible Bawumia
Credible Bawumia

Vice President Dr. Mahamadu Bawumia has emphasised the necessity for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to overcome internal obstacles including petty disagreements, animosity, selfishness, and greed in order to accomplish their objective of “breaking the eight.”
Dr. Bawumia stressed the significance of translating the party’s goals into concrete action during his speech at the regional seminar of the Tertiary Students Confederacy of the NPP (TESCON) conducted at the University of Cape Coast.

Dr. Bawumia admitted that it is insufficient for the party to merely declare its goal to end the eight-year cycle of political power. He emphasised the importance of a cohesive party that addresses problems impeding both national and party advancement. The Vice President declared that by 2024, they will be able to end the eight-year cycle and expressed confidence in the government’s accomplishments.

Dr. Bawumia fully thought that Ghanaians would give the Nana Akufo-Addo government the chance to continue in power through 2024 if they built on their strong foundation, finished current projects, and kept the promises made in the 2020 manifesto. He reassured the populace that the NPP government is dedicated to keeping its commitments.

He said, “I bring you the assurances of President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo that we will do our best not to disappoint Ghanaians and you, our gallant soldiers.”
Dr. Bawumia mentioned the appointments made by President Akufo-Addo, notably those granted to the youth and TESCON members, in order to highlight the government’s priorities. He emphasised the importance of the NPP ending the eight-year cycle because of the significant advantages that Ghana and its people stood to gain by holding onto power.
“We are aware of the appointments of Nana Addo that have gone to the youth and TESCON members during the previous term and this term.
He added, “What this means is that, as we continue to work hard and hold on to power, the benefit that would accrue to Ghana and by extension to all of us would be enormous, and this is why it is important for us to break the 8.”
The Vice President reaffirmed the government’s dedication to creating an effective public sector, encouraging private sector expansion to create jobs, fighting bribery and corruption, and ensuring a prosperous future for the young and the following generation.

He proudly mentioned the government’s initiatives to increase opportunities in the quickly developing field of technology and digital innovation by offering free Wi-Fi to educational institutions, such as senior high schools, colleges of education, universities, and district education offices.

“We are committed to expanding their opportunities for the fast-emerging world of technological and digital innovation. I am proud that over the last years, we have set free Wifis to 722 Senior High Schools, 13 universities, 46 colleges of education and 216 district education offices,” the Vice President explained.
In order to show that the government is capable of overcoming obstacles, Dr. Bawumia also enumerated a number of issues that they have dealt with or are presently dealing with. These include employment creation, strong economic indicators, social intervention programmes to lessen suffering among citizens, and the digitization of the economy for the benefit of the populace.

Dr. Bawumia’s observations provide insight into the NPP’s priorities and the procedures required to accomplish their goal of ending the eight-year cycle.

Competent Bawumia is the man of the people; sends a clear signal

Credible Bawumia
Credible Bawumia

During his talks with New Patriotic Party (NPP) stakeholders in various Regions, Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia received a resounding backing for his ambition to be the party’s flag bearer.

Source

Dr. Bawumia has started consultations with important party members and outside parties over the past few weeks to let them know of his intentions and then to ask for their support before he formally announces his candidacy for the vacant NPP Flagbearership for the 2024 election.

Before meeting with important party blocks, including the crucial Majority Caucus, to formally advise them of his decision, sources claim he first contacted President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, Former President J.A. Kufuor, and other stalwarts of the NPP.

The Vice President is claimed to have informed and sought the permission of numerous traditional and religious officials around the country in order to show respect for these institutions, a critical step that his rivals skipped over.

By engaging with important stakeholders from throughout the Regions over the past two weeks, Dr. Bawumia has moved his focus to honoring the NPP’s regional structure, and the responses have been overwhelmingly positive.

He recently traveled to the Western North, Western, Central, Volta, and Oti Regions where he encountered ecstatic party members who were unreserved in their support for him.

Dr. Bawumia visited the three Bono and Ahafo Regions, the Ashanti and Northern Regions, as well as other places this week.

The Vice President has received a ton of support in each of the regions he has traveled to.

A former campaign manager for Alan Kyerematen, a candidate for the position of flagbearer, shocked the ebullient Regional party stakeholders in Volta Region when he announced his support for Dr. Bawumia.

Kofi Dzamesi, a former close associate of Alan Kyerematen, stated that “Dr. Bawumia is the only one who can break the 8 for the NPP and I support him.”

Numerous people charged outside in the Bono Region when Dr. Bawumia was locked in a meeting with the party stakeholders, yelling his name and demanding he address them.

The Vice President complied, but he stopped short of openly announcing his ambition to be the flagbearer.

Instead, he praised the tense audience, urged party cohesion, and reassured them that the administration would continue to function.

In the Ashanti Region, which is the NPP’s heartland, nothing changed.

Major players in the Region, including constituency executives, publicly screamed Bawumia’s name and vowed their unwavering support for him while praising his dedication and fidelity to the party.

Anthony Amankwaa, the constituency chairman for Oforikrom, summarized the feelings of his fellow Ashanti Regional constituency chairmen when he noted that they had long recognized Dr. Bawumia’s major contributions to the party and government and had been working hard for him.

“Dr., the campaign (to elect you) didn’t begin today. Together with our Chairman, Wontumi, we started the initiative a long time ago. Since we are already working, there is even no need for us to speak today. May God bless you,” Chairman Amankwaa said to thunderous applause from his colleagues. “We will see you through, and we trust you will go and break the 8 for us.

Collins Addai of Atwima Mponua, a different chairman, praised Dr. Bawumia for his enormous contributions to the NPP’s electoral success, highlighting in particular the areas where the NPP had historically struggled until the rise of Dr. Bawumia.

As he continued with his important stakeholder engagements in the Upper West, Savannah, and Northern Regions, the pattern of widespread stakeholder endorsement, favorable testimonies, and enthusiastic grassroots support for Dr. Bawumia persisted in the North.

Only time will tell what lies ahead as the NPP opens nominations for the presidential race the following week and Vice President Bawumia prepares to make a formal public declaration to start what promises to be a historic journey.

However, the early signs indicate that he will lead the NPP into the upcoming elections as the front-runner and the supporter.

The Delegates Will Reward Competent Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia for His Sacrifices and Loyalty to the Party

Competent Bawumia
Competent Bawumia

In this write-up, I would like to bring to bare the sacrifices, loyalty, dedication and commitment exhibited by H. E. Alhaji Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia to the New Patriotic Party (NPP) from the time of his nomination as a running mate in 2008 to the victory won in 2016. The previous write-up unearthed some of the untold contributions of Dr. Bawumia to the NPP government and by extension NPP in the former president J. A. Kufuor’s government.

Dr. Bawumia was working at the Central Bank of Ghana as a deputy governor. He was appointed by former president Kufuor. He was enjoying his work there as he was contributing his quota to the development of that sector and Ghana as a whole. Little did he know that he will be selected as a running mate to the then candidate Nana Akufo-Addo in 2008. However, he made a very risky but important decision by leaving his job at the Bank of Ghana and accepting a running mate slot that was not a guarantee that he will automatically become the Vice President of Ghana. This decision he took, marked the beginning of his sacrifices for NPP.

The New Patriotic Party went into the 2008 general elections with Dr. Bawumia as its running mate. He toured the length and breadth of the country, canvassing for votes for the party to retain power and possibly break the eight then. Unfortunately, the party lost power to the then largest opposition party.

After the 2008 general elections in Ghana, Dr. Bawumia had many high-profile job opportunities and among them was Resident Representative of the African Development Bank for Zimbabwe. He worked there for some time until he was called by his boss, Nana Akufo-Addo again to partner him for the 2012 Ghana’s general elections for the second time. Dr. Bawumia answered the call again to serve NPP by leaving that enviable position again at the AfDB. The love of Dr Bawumia for NPP is undoubtedly unquantifiable evidence by the critical sacrifices he has made so far for the party.

The delegates saw how Dr. Bawumia campaigned vigorously in 2012 general elections. He committed himself to the course of the party and as usual travelled across the whole country severally until the D-Day where he cast his vote in Kperiga in the Walewale constituency. The declaration of the results was not in favor of the NPP.

The NPP as a law-abiding party did not resort to violence but rather filed a petition at the Supreme Court to challenge the electoral process and the results of the elections. A very important question is that, who was the key witness to the NPP’s petition in court? Dr. Bawumia! It will interest you to know that no one was ready to enter the witness box but Dr Bawumia availed himself despite the potential political risk associated with it. I am aware he was advised against the decision to enter the witness box but for his love and loyalty to the party, he opted to defend the party. He defended the party creditably well while in the witness box at the Supreme Court.

Interestingly, National Democratic Congress (NDC) also went to court in 2021 following the declaration of the 2020 general elections after unsuccessful street protest amidst burning of car tyres on major roads in parts of the country. There was a clear difference between Dr. Bawumia as a key witness to the 2012 general elections’ petition and Mr. Asiedu Nketiah (General Mosquito) as a key witness to the 2020 general elections’ petition. The famous calculations by General Mosquito and I did not bring any figure to court in mind. Dr. Bawumia as a witness exposed a lot of flaws in the electoral process in the Ghanaian elections in 2012 and there is no doubt that it helped in shaping and guiding subsequent elections in Ghana. He sacrificed his time, family, job, resources, among others and stayed to the course of NPP until the final judgement was made. It must be stated clearly that the 2012 general elections’ petition ran for a period of eight months continuously. This kind of sacrifices can only be made by the only and only delegates’ choice, Dr Bawumia.

The undesirable results of the Supreme Court judgement in 2013 did not dampen the spirit of Dr. Bawumia at all as he continued his efforts in getting NPP back to power. In fact, he did not even look for any job again but devoted his all to the party’s course. He fought hard in 2016 general elections and finally, God delivered victory to the party. It is a common knowledge that the victory of NPP in the 2016 elections was largely attributed to the ever loyal, dedicated, committed and hard-working Dr. Bawumia.

As a result of the sacrifices and unflinching loyalty of Dr. Bawumia to the party and Nana Akufo-Addo, he has been selected as a running mate for four consecutive times to partner Nana Akufo-Addo. This is unprecedented in the history of the fourth republic of Ghana if not the whole of Africa. This rare opportunity can only happen to a rare gem like H. E Alhaji. Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.

In conclusion, it is evident that Dr. Bawumia’s sacrifices and loyalty to the NPP is noticed by both majority of delegates and non-delegates alike within the party. The delegates are saying that, the massive support Dr Bawumia is enjoying today is earned through the many sacrifices he has made and continue to make for the party. Hence, the delegates are ready to reward him with a resounding victory on 4th November, 2023 to lead NPP in the 2024 general elections to break the eight.

H. E. Alhaji Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, president of Ghana, 2025. It is possible, In Sha Allah. Thank You

Alhaji Salifu Hadara

‘Policy-less’ John Mahama runs away from competent Bawumia’s 1 question

Competent Bawumia
Competent Bawumia
Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia

With his more than three decades of public service, most credible vice president, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia has condemned former president John Dramani Mahama, calling him a politician without any policies.
At a public event in the Ayawaso Central Constituency, Bawumia declared he would keep asking John Mahama the same question in the future because he thinks the former president will never be able to provide an answer.
“I asked John Mahama one question, he has not yet answered it. So far, I asked him just one question.

“I say, John Mahama, you have been Assemblyman, you have been deputy minister, you have been minister, you have been vice president, you have been president; over the last 30 years, so tell us one policy we can associate with you over 30 years of political life,” he stressed.

The first time Bawumia launched the ‘attack’ on Mahama was at a party rally last month in Mpraeso in the Eastern Region.

“Just one, not two, one policy that you can say, as for this one, John Mahama did it. He has not yet answered it and he cannot answer it,” Bawumia said to cheers from the audience as he is flanked by Greater Accra Regional minister, Henry Quartey.

“So, if he cannot answer one question, then I wouldn’t bother with 700 questions this time around. I would just leave it at one, I am waiting for the answer and in the future, I will keep asking,” he added.
Though he has not publicly declared his candidature, Bawumia is widely regarded as the front-runner in the New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearership race expected to take place later this year. Senior aides have promised that he will run to lead the NPP into the election of 2024.

Currently on a national campaign tour, John Mahama is vying to be chosen as the National Democratic Congress’s (NDC) flagbearer in the 2024 elections. A primary election scheduled for May 13 will pit him against Kojo Bonsu and Kwabena Duffuor.

THE DISLOYALTY OF ALAN KYEREMATEN AGAINST PRESIDENT KUFUOR

Alan
Alan
Alan Kyerematen

Come November 4, 2023, will be that time in the life of every Patriot of the Elephant family to make a decision that will somewhat make or break the party. Of course, the fortune of every patriot is dependent on the candidate we present for the general elections come December 2024.

Loyalty won’t be taken for granted when accessing the right candidate to lead the party. Alan Kyeremanten over the years has shown enough of his disloyalty to persons who gave him a shoulder to stand on when it mattered most.

It is a no-brainer that Alan Kyerematen rose to the political and national limelight due to the benevolence of President Kufour.

President Kufuor first appointed Alan Kyerematen as Ghana’s ambassador to the US in 2001 and then as a Minister of Trade and Industry until he resigned to contest as NPP flag bearer in 2007.

Those of us who were active in government and party saw how President Kufuor gave his huge shoulders for Alan Kyerematen to stand on. Alan became so powerful that he could appoint, transfer or remove appointees at will.

Former Trade Minister

Alan Kyeremayen was seen engaging in an opulence campaign. Sharing money both GhanaCedis and US dollars all over, hence the name Alan Cash.

Alan Kyerematen was abusing his power by flying Presidential jets and military helicopters to go and meet with delegates.

Unfortunately, Alan Kyerematen lost the Presidential primaries to Nana Akufo Addo.

Since then, Alan Kyerematen has consistently exhibited his disloyalty, self-seeking and ingratitude traits toward President Kufuor.

Alan Kyerematen has over the years boasted to close circles that he does not owe any loyalty to President Kufour. According to Alan, President Kufuor smartly tilted toward him at the end when he saw that Alan was the obvious choice to succeed him.

Alan Kyerematen gets furious when he is described as a protege of President Kufuor.

This is the reason why Alan never visited President Kufuor after the latter left power. Alan as a Trade Minister who never visited President Kufuor privately at his residence except showing up during birthdays to take pictures.

Alan never visited President Kufuor until it occurred to him that he will be contesting another Presidential primary and needed to create an impression in the eyes of his supporters.

Why is Alan Kyerematen trying hard to take cover from President Kufuor now that things are getting more difficult for him?

It is not surprising that President Kufuor has never publicly or privately said anything good about Alan.

The future is indeed pregnant. To be continued…..

Years of slavery, colonialism has left Africa with an impossibility mindset- Bawumia

Bawumia, Man of integrity
Bawumia, Man of integrity

Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the most competent vice president of the Republic of Ghana, has lamented the inability of Africans to deal with everyday issues.
He claims that the continent’s incapacity to solve issues is largely a result of its mentality of impossible.

Dr. Bawumia, a credible politician


“In my view, the greatest bane to the development of Africa is our inability to solve the basic problems of the absence of unique identity for our population, functioning property address systems, financial inclusion, payment systems, efficient public service delivery, etc. that underpin our economic activities. For many years after independence, we have been trying to transform our economies without data and transparent systems. Without data and systems, African countries cannot participate in the Fourth Industrial Revolution.


“The truth is that we have for long been shackled by an impossibility mindset that is probably the result of the experience of years of slavery and colonialism. We don’t believe in ourselves,” Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia shared over the weekend.


The Vice President expressed these ideas while serving as a guest speaker at Harvard University’s African Development Conference at the Harvard Law School.
Dr. Bawumia thinks that Africa has capacity and has to start tackling its problems.


“for us to realize our full potential and set ourselves apart we need to break the shackles of impossibility mindset and embrace the mindset of possibility. African countries can do what the advanced countries have done and more. It is possible,” Bawumia stressed.
Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia also discussed his thoughts on the subject of envisioning Africa’s development on our terms.
He also said that the transformative potential of technology lies at the core of this idea.

Isaac Adongo may be the biggest liar in Ghana?

Isaac Adongo is the biggest liar in Ghana
Isaac Adongo is the biggest liar in Ghana
Isaac Adongo, biggest liar in Ghana

Rex Asanga, a New Patriotic Party (NPP) parliamentary candidate in the Upper East, claims that his opponent has resorted to lying in a last-ditch effort to retain the Bolgatanga Central seat.

He contends that the candidate for the National Democratic Congress (NDC) lacks experience and is thus forced to use fabrications to damage the well-earned reputation he has built up in the constituency over the years.
He said that someone of Isaac Adongo’s caliber should refrain from lying in order to garner votes since Bolgatanga Central voters are intelligent and won’t fall for his outright lies this election.
Rex Asanga stated that Adongo is on record “according to the Station the Hon MP while addressing NDC supporters at an event stated that I have been going around and telling people that he, Isaac Adongo was in collusion with Hon Kofi Adda, the Minister for Aviation and MP for Navrongo Central and His Excellency President Akufo Addo to relocate the Bolgatanga airport project to Navro.” This is not merely a fabrication but a diabolical strategy aimed at causing bad blood between myself and the Hon Minister and His Excellency the President”.
He is surprised by Isaac Adongo’s assertion that he sponsored a brain operation in India for one of Rex Asanga’s children who was close to passing away.


“Another wicked lie the Hon member of parliament told in the write up is that he had paid the medical bills for one of my sons for a brain surgery in India. This is a very wicked lie and i urge all to disregarded it with all the contempt it deserves. Since their birth, never at any stage of their lives have my sons or daughter needed a surgery, let alone being flown abroad under the imagined benevolence of Jon Isaac Adongo for a brain surgery. Not even an extended family or member of my clan has had any such medical condition or any financial assistance from Hon Adongo.Just a few years ago, the Hon MP’s name was in the newspapers for non payment of loans owed the then struggling GN Bank. This contributed to the eventual collapse and liquidation of the bank. Isn’t it curious then that he suddenly has the financial wherewithal to sponsor people to India for imagined brain surgery.”
He took advantage of the opportunity to urge residents of the Bolgatanga Municipality to vote out Isaac Adongo and change the face of politics in the Constituency.
“I have a track record to campaign on and do not need to rely on falsehood, lies and fabrications to help me make my case to the good people of Bolgatanga. I call on all and sundry to let us unite to change the face of our politics by showing this MP the exit. Bolgatanga Central deserves better.”

READ FULL STATEMENT HERE
Lies are a Sign of Desperation My attention was drawn to some very disturbing and astonishing claims made by Hon Isaac Adongo, the MP for Bolgatanga Central Constituency on his official Facebook page on the 8th of October. My first response was that such a claim couldn’t be made by Mr. Adongo, arguing that the Hon MP wouldn’t peddle such palpable falsehoods about me or my family knowing very well that those lies will be exposed sooner or later.


However, as prove, the informant screenshot the statement and sent it to me as confirmation. He (Adongo) has since pulled down the post for reasons best known to him. However, given the fact that many people have already read the story before it was pulled down, I deem it appropriate to make a response so that people will know that they are total fabrications and an effigy of his own imagination. I am therefore writing this piece to let all and sundry know that Hon Adongo peddled lies and falsehood in that write up. His aim in peddling those lies must be obvious to all. It us intended to tarnish my image and make me appear a bad person in the eyes of the public all in the hope that he could salvage his own sinking image.
The only truth in that worthless piece of write-up is that i am a staunch Catholic. Let me add that, not only am i a Catholic, but an active one who plays various roles in the church including marriage counselling, Communiun Minister and a teacher. In view of my Christian faith, I am married to one wife and not many women as Mr Adongo has sought to portray. Despite this being public knowledge Hon Isaac Adongo chooses the path of deliberate mischief thinking he can bring my Christian character into question and disrepute for his selfish political ends.


Another wicked lie the Hon member of parliament told in the write up is that he had paid the medical bills for one of my sons for a brain surgery in India. This is a very wicked lie and i urge all to disregarded it with all the contempt it deserves. Since their birth, never at any stage of their lives have my sons or daughter needed a surgery, let alone being flown abroad under the imagined benevolence of Jon Isaac Adongo for a brain surgery.
Not even an extended family or member of my clan has had any such medical condition or any financial assistance from Hon Adongo.Just a few years ago, the Hon MP’s name was in the newspapers for non payment of loans owed the then struggling GN Bank. This contributed to the eventual collapse and liquidation of the bank. Isn’t it curious then that he suddenly has the financial wherewithal to sponsor people to India for imagined brain surgery. While I was figuring out how to respond to these lies, i was hit with yet another lie by the Hon Adongo.


A Bolgatanga based FM radio station, A1, called me and ask me for my response to another pack of lies peddled by the Hon MP against me. According to the Station the Hon MP while addressing NDC supporters at an event stated that I have been going around and telling people that he, Isaac Adongo was in collusion with Hon Kofi Adda, the Minister for Aviation and MP for Navrongo Central and His Excellency President Akufo Addo to relocate the Bolgatanga airport project to Navrongo.
This is not only a lie but a wicked scheme aimed at creating bad blood between myself and the Hon Minister and His Excellency the President. It is very clear that the desperation of Hon Isaac Adongo is getting to fever pitch. In his frustration, he is clawing at everything possible in an effort to cause disaffection for me, for his own narrow and temporal political ends. But I can assure him that he has already failed. I urge the public to disregard the MP’s unguarded comments as they are just a figment of his own imagination and a spillover of his desperation.


I remain an honest and focused Politician who will not trade my integrity on the altar of lies. Winning the Bolgatanga Central seat in the upcoming elections is my focus and I will not be distracted from it with such infantile lies. Hon Isaac Adongo’s sudden love for lies are only a sign of the extent of his desperation, haven realised that the people of Bolgatanga Central have resolved to show him the exit in the December polls, for none performance and his lack of concern for matters affecting the Constituency and their very lives. All who know me can testify that all my life I have worked to transform the lives of people within the Constituency and the UER in general.


I have a track record to campaign on and do not need to rely on falsehood, lies and fabrications to help me make my case to the good people of Bolgatanga. I call on all and sundry to let us unite to change the face of our politics by showing this MP the exit. Bolgatanga Central deserves better.
