The flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr. Mahamadu Bawumia says the era of ‘akonfem’ should not be revisited after urging Ghanaians to match up with the digital world by voting him as president
Dr Bawumia told party supporters at the Ofie Mega Walk in Akropong on Saturday, August 3, said he will ensure Ghana is transformed when elected president.
According to him, the flagbearer of the NDC has nothing to offer the country again but must not be considered to be president again.
“From the customs office, we’ll introduce the flat rate of duty and digit-ability to prevent corruption at the port for the development of the country. We are bringing more initiatives on board as we launch our manifesto in a few weeks to come. Because of digitalization, passport application is going to be a thing of the past.
“If you have your card, you don’t have to apply and fill out a form for a passport. We have all your details, so you’ll just pay the fee, and then we print your passport for you. This initiative will help the country to move into digitalisation.”
“Ghana is going into the digitalisation age, not the ‘akonfem ‘age. Vote for me so that we can also learn from the Europeans to develop our nation. We are bringing new policies. Do you think their flagbearer can be a president for just four years? He’s also seeking for honeymoon, meaning he won’t do anything.
“However, I want to be president for eight years meaning I’ll come back to make accountability after my first term. He [Mahama] won’t come back to make accountability Ghana needs a new president with new ideas with integrity.” Dr Bawumia told a cheerful crowd.
