Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the presidential candidate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has lambasted former President John Dramani Mahama’s eight-year tenure, citing a lack of development in the Upper East Region.
During a recent engagement with students at CK-TEDEM University in Navrongo, Bawumia highlighted Mahama’s unfulfilled promises, particularly in road infrastructure and the Savannah Accelerated Development Authority (SADA) initiative.
“Not a single road was completed in the Upper East Region during Mahama’s administration,” Bawumia emphasized.
“He had eight years to make a difference, but his incompetence and lack of vision left the region in stagnation,” He added.
Bawumia also questioned the success of SADA, which was established to accelerate development in the northern sector of Ghana.
“Hundreds of millions of dollars were spent, but can you find a single SADA project in Navrongo or the Upper East Region?” he asked rhetorically.
The NPP presidential candidate urged the electorate to reject Mahama’s bid for a return to power, describing him as a symbol of the past.
“I represent the future, while Mahama embodies the failed promises of yesterday,” Bawumia declared, adding, “Let us maintain him as a former president and move forward with a new vision for Ghana’s prosperity.”
