Is it the 'dumsor' Mahama wants to bring back, or the runaway guinea fowls? - Bawumia asks

The Vice President and Flagbearer of the NPP, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, has asked why former President Mahama wants to be elected President again, after he was voted out of office in 2016 by Ghanaians for non-performance.

Mahama, after serving the remaining 6-month term of President Atta Mills following his death, was elected President in 2012.

However, Mahama's tenure was plagued by a series of drawbacks, including a never-ending energy crisis, and christened dumsor, throughout his tenure, leading to him being voted out of office in 2016.

Addressing a huge crowd in Adugyama in the Ahafo Ano South East, Dr. Bawumia recalled a number of national drawbacks under Mahama, which he said the NPP has fixed.

"He was given the opportunity to be President and he could not perform. He was removed for non-performance and the NPP, which took over, has done better in every field," Dr. Bawumia said.

"He could not even provide chalk. He left us in an energy crisis or dumsor for 4 years. He cancelled teacher and nursing training allowances. He collapsed ambulance service and collapsed the NHIS," Dr. Bawumia recalled, highlighting the failures of the Mahama regime.

"That is why in the 2016 election, he was removed for non-performance. And now he says he wants to come back."

"The question is, what is he coming to do? Is it the dumsor Mahama wants to bring back or the runaway guinea fowls? What great thing did he do that he wants to come back?" Dr. Bawumia asked.

On the contrary, Dr. Bawumia noted that the NPP has done great work in providing inclusive development, telling Mahama that the NPP has done far better in many areas.

"We have created more jobs than you. Improved agriculture and industry more than you. We have built factories, roads and railways more than you. We have built more airports than you, interchanges than you, more hospitals than you, schools more than you, sanitation facilities more than you, astro turfs more than you."
