The New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, has once again emphasized his party’s stronger track record compared to the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) across various sectors.
Addressing community leaders and a large crowd of supporters in Tema during his ongoing campaign tour of the Greater Accra Region, Dr. Bawumia highlighted that undeniable data confirms the NPP’s superior performance in every sector of development compared to the NDC.
“If you look at performance, sector by sector, we have performed better. Whether it is agriculture, we have done better. Whether it is industry, we have done better,” Dr. Bawumia said.
He continued: “Whether it is jobs, we have created 2.1 million jobs. It is still not enough, but that is more than any government in the 4th Republic. Whether it is roads, we have done better. Whether it is railways, we have done better; hospitals, we have done better; interchanges, we have done better; classrooms and schools, we have done better; sports facilities, we have done better.”
The NPP flagbearer continued, adding that in the areas of sanitation facilities, court buildings, provision of facilities and equipment for the security services, fiber optic cable, and sports facilities, the NPP has clearly “done better.”
“There is not a single area that you can point to, that you will say this government has not performed better than the previous one. And I challenge them because I am a man of data. I speak only with data,” he said.
“When I say we have done better, I have the data to support it. And this is why the former President doesn’t want to debate me because he knows he doesn’t have the data.”
“He can make statements on political platforms where nobody will challenge him, but he cannot make them in front of me. He cannot.”
