'Enemies are not God' - Bawumia claps back at critics

A flagbearer hopeful of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, has responded to critics who doubt his chances of becoming president, while also outlining initiatives aimed at strengthening the party’s structures ahead of the 2026 Election.

Addressing supporters in a video shared on X on Wednesday, December 31, 2025, Dr Bawumia dismissed claims that he cannot ascend to the presidency, stressing that destiny is determined by divine will, rather than human opposition.

“Some say I cannot be president, but I remind them that enemies are not God. It is God who protects the vulnerable, and I trust that He will provide for me,” he declared.

The former vice president further emphasised his commitment to party unity and capacity building, promising to introduce measures that will empower executives, members, and constituencies.
