Deputy Minister for Finance, Dr. Stephen Amoah, is optimistic that the vice president and flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, would romp with victory after the 7 December presidential and parliamentary general elections.
He said it is now crystal clear that Dr. Bawumia would take the day on 7 December after the elections and would be sworn in come January 2025.
“The way he can unify this country. We need peace., we need cohesion. He is an embodiment of the knot that connects muslins and Christians, different ethnic group-the north and the south. For now, the leader that Ghana needs most is Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia,” Dr. Amoah testified about the NPP flagbearer.
His reasons are that the Ghanaian economy that went bad as a result of global crisis is now doing very well, in that inflation, which was 54.1% is now around 20%, very low.
“Our GDP at a point was growing +0.4% while the world at was growing -3.3%. Now our GDP is growing at about 5.6. we have even outperformed our 2024 budget target for our GDP growth which sums everything about our economy. Exchange rate went as high as 54%. Now exchange rate very, very low and is getting staple and even coming down. In fact, all the primary micro indicators are doing so much well. Everything economic is pointing to the fact that indeed Ghana is recovering at a very fast rate,” the Member of Parliament (MP) for Nhyiaeso told this paper in an interview when our news team called on him in his office.
That aside, the investment banker asserted that Bawumia has a message that resonates with the people, something he said the NDC lacks to rule the country. “The whole world is going digital. All over the world any economy that is doing well is now redefining a new paradigm shift in the area of digitalization.”
Gradually, the Akudo-Addo-Bawumia government, he posited, is building a sustainable social economic growth with unprecedented infrastructure. He cited the National Integration Authority, CCT footages from police to track crime amongst others as benefits that digitalization has brought to Ghana.
On education, Sticka as his Nyiaeso constituents refer to him said that TVET is the hub of the battle against fragile economy and that all over the world, countries that are moving towards industrialization are the ones succeeding.
“It is so clear; the signs are on the wall. The economy, his vision and policies, he being a unifier, the proven record of this government even though there’s hardship globally, the economy is doing well, and the fact the NDC does not have what it takes to unify this country makes Dr. Bawumia tower above all the other parties and deserves to be voted for to become Ghana’s next president,” Dr. Amoah intimated and urged Ghanaians to vote for him.
