Hon. Kojo Oppong Nkrumah's Call to Ghanaian Youth: Eight Reasons to Support Dr. Bawumia over John Mahama in the December 7 Elections
1. Youth-Centric Leadership
Dr. Bawumia believes in empowering the youth through strategic investments. Unlike Mahama, who has previously shown limited commitment to youth development, Bawumia’s policies actively prioritize opportunities for young Ghanaians.
2. Strengthening Free Senior High School (SHS)
Dr. Bawumia is dedicated to improving and protecting Free SHS, securing access to education for all. Mahama and the NDC, on the other hand, have expressed opposition to the Free SHS initiative in the past, casting doubt on their commitment to sustaining it.
3. Healthcare Advancements with Agenda 111
Dr. Bawumia is set to fully implement Agenda 111, ensuring comprehensive healthcare infrastructure across Ghana. In contrast, Mahama’s tenure saw stalled healthcare projects and lacked a clear, sustainable vision for healthcare improvements.
4. Safeguarding the Public Purse
The NPP has a stronger track record of protecting public funds, and Dr. Bawumia will continue this commitment. Under Mahama’s administration, however, Ghana witnessed significant financial mismanagement and scandals, weakening confidence in his ability to safeguard the nation's finances.
5. Sustained Economic Growth and Development
Dr. Bawumia’s economic plan promotes long-term growth and stability for Ghana. Mahama’s previous term, however, was marked by slow economic growth and high debt accumulation, casting doubt on his ability to achieve sustainable economic development.
6. Addressing the Cost of Living
With a strategic plan to contain living costs, Dr. Bawumia is positioned to address economic challenges. Mahama’s policies historically failed to control inflation and living costs, resulting in a high cost of living that placed a strain on ordinary Ghanaians.
7. A Superior Economic Program
Dr. Bawumia’s economic vision is robust and actionable, while Mahama’s “24-hour economy” lacks clarity and practicality. Bawumia’s approach offers concrete steps to boost productivity and job creation, contrasting with Mahama’s more theoretical framework.
8. Integrity Above All
Dr. Bawumia is known for his integrity, which reassures Ghanaians of his dedication to transparency and accountability. In comparison, Mahama’s administration faced multiple corruption allegations, raising concerns about trust and accountability under his leadership.
