Acts of violence do not win election – Dr Bawumia
Odoben (C/R), Oct 15, Ghanadot/GNA – Dr Mumuni Bawumia, the
running mate of the flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP),
on Wednesday said acts of violence does not play a role in
winning an election and must be abhorred by all.
He said “winning an election does not mean fighting,
provocation, insult, or division; it is rather to let the
people know what you have done and why you should be given a
chance to rule or continue with your good works.”
Speaking at a rally at Odoben in the Asikum-Odoben-Brakwa
District as part of a week campaign tour in the Central
Region, Dr Bawumia, therefore, urged NPP party members to
eschew the usage of indecent language in their campaign
messages and not be part of violence but rather sensitize
electorates to vote wisely.
He also advised Ghanaians to never make a mistake of voting
for the NDC to return to government and said a government
under Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, the flagbearer of the NPP
would continue with the good foundation laid by President
John Agyekum Kufour to better develop the country.
Dr Bawumia told electorates not hesitate to compare the
achievements made by President Kufour and that of the
previous government to determine who had vision for the
people to ensure comfortable and healthy life.
He said education was an important sector of the economy and
reiterated that when Nana Akufo-Addo was voted into office
come December 7, 2008, Senior High School education would be
made free.
Other speakers at the rally were Alhaji Jebiril, Central
Regional Organiser, Mr Paul C. Appiah Ofori, Member of
Parliament (MP) for the area, Alhaji Jawula, former Ghana
Football Association Chairman, Alhaji Grunsah, Chief
Executive of Kumasi Faisal Football Club and Kwamena
Bartels, MP for Ablekuma North.
Mr Paul C. Appiah Ofori later introduced two defeated NDC
members in the constituency, who have joined the NPP to the
gathering. They were Women Organizer Madam Gloria Yamson and
Alex Oppong.
