The Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party, Chairman Wontumi has made a surprising statement, asserting that Ghana is now at par with London and urging Ghanaians to vote for Dr Mahamudu Bawumia in the 2024 elections.
The Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) emphasized the significant transformation that has taken place under President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo’s and Vice President Bawumia’s leadership.
He highlighted the remarkable infrastructural developments in suburbs like Cantonments, Labadi, and East Legon as evidence of Ghana’s progress surpassing that of London.
During an interview on Asempa FM on December 7, 2023, Chairman Wontumi urged Ghanaians to support the current administration’s continuity by voting for Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia as the next president.
“I came to Accra the last time and I used the Labone, Cantonments, and East Legon stretch, and you can see that Ghana is changing and now I can say that Ghana is better than London because if you look at different-story buildings that are under construction and all, it means that we are working in this country, the country is changing and it’s changing for good.
“ …and I am pleased as a Ghanaian, that’s why I am saying we should vote for Dr. Bawumia to continue the good work,” he said.
According to Wontumi, if Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the flagbearer of the party, is elected president, the Black Stars will make it to the finals of the World Cup.
Antwi-Bosiako attributes this belief to Dr Bawumia’s vision for sports, which has resulted in the construction of over 180 astroturfs across the country. In his view, the national team’s chances of reaching the World Cup finals will significantly improve if Dr Bawumia assumes the presidency of Ghana.
“Dr Mahamudu Bawumia is an action man. He is going to create employment for the youth. He is the brain behind NABCO, which was meant to help alleviate youth unemployment,” the outspoken politician in an exclusive interview on Adom FM.
“It’s almost like when you go to every district, there are astroturfs; when we came to power, there were only two, but now there are about 180 nationwide.
He [Bawumia] loves sports and will do everything to develop the sport, and I am very confident we will get the best World Cup under his leadership. We will reach the final of the World Cup under his leadership; he will do miracles with sports” Chairman Wontumi told show host, Kobby Stonne.
Chairman Wontumi has become infamous for making ‘impractical’ remarks like this one. He made headlines recently after expressing in an exclusive interview on Adom FM that the appointment of Dr Mahamudu Bawumia as Ghana’s next president in 2024 would positively affect the performance of the senior national team, the Black Stars.
