The campaign team of Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia has refuted claims that their flagbearer hopeful is being funded by some Islamic group in Nigeria called the ACF.
In a communique issued by the team’s Communications Directorate, they noted that such falsehood is being peddled by a Nigerian journalist, David Humdeyin.
Apparently, the same narrative, the team says, has been copied by some persons and groups in Ghana on social media.
For the Vice President’s campaign team, such reportage is unfortunate as “Dr Bawumia has no funding or any linkage with any Islamic group in Nigeria or anywhere else.”
“This narrative is obviously false, fabricated, and only serves the propaganda purposes of its promoters,” the circular added.
The team asserts that David Humdeyin has demonstrated a penchant for making similar claims against some persons and groups in Nigeria without any basis whatsoever.
They have therefore entreated to disregard such reports since “Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has been very diligent and transparent from his days as a scholar, banker, and politician throughout his life and will not depart from these now and forever.”
