Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia has ranked the Mahama presidency as the worst in the history of the Fourth Republic.
According to the NPP flagbearer, the former president’s track record is a testament to failure.
During a gathering with religious leaders in the Central Region, Dr Bawumia emphasised the importance of having a visionary leader with a solid reputation and credibility for development.
He highlighted his proven track record as a problem solver, showcasing the impact of policies he initiated while serving as Ghana’s Vice President.
These initiatives include the digital national identity system, the national property address system, mobile money interoperability, and the digitalization of public services to enhance efficiency and reduce corruption.
“I am a problem solver and forward-thinking individual with innovative solutions. My tenure as Vice-President speaks to my capabilities,” he said.
“While I have not held the position of president, my dedication as Vice-President demonstrates my commitment to addressing challenges hindering our sustainable development.”
Drawing a comparison between himself and the NDC flagbearer, Dr Bawumia confidently stated that he stood superior, based on his “track record, work ethic and vision.”
“Former President Mahama has previously held the position, but his track record is a testament to failure. He struggled to combat corruption and address numerous issues.’’
“Economically, Mahama’s presidency ranks as the poorest in the Fourth Republic,” Dr Bawumia said.
“John Mahama does not embody change, having been rebuffed in both the 2016 and 2020 elections. On the contrary, my fresh perspective and proven track record as Vice-President represent the future of our nation.”
“I intend to seek the people’s mandate beyond 2024. Mahama’s single term presidency means he will not be answerable to Ghanaians, having no plans for re-election.”
