The New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, has outlined plans to establish an “Airport City” in Manhyia North, Ashanti Region, if he is elected as the next president of Ghana.
His vision, inspired by the Airport City project in Accra, aims to bring significant economic and infrastructural growth to the Kumasi area.
During the third day of his tour in the Ashanti Region, Dr. Bawumia highlighted his experience in managing airport projects, including those in Kumasi and Tamale, as a foundation for his ability to deliver on this ambitious plan.
He also recalled his role in securing support from the UK government for the development of these airports, which he believes will play a pivotal role in the success of the proposed Manhyia North development.
The “Airport City” in Manhyia North, according to Dr. Bawumia, will be a catalyst for economic transformation, offering new business opportunities, job creation, and improved infrastructure, much like the effects seen in Accra.
Appealing to the electorate, Dr. Bawumia called for their support, promising a presidency focused on regional development, accountability, and ensuring the Ashanti Region benefits from this transformative project.
“If you vote for me, by the grace of God, I can serve as president for eight years and will come back here to give you an account of my work,” he assured.
Encouraging his supporters to rally behind him, Dr. Bawumia asked, “Promote me and let me be the president. Give me the steer and let me drive.”
