Reports that Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia is receiving funding from an Islamic group in Nigeria have been debunked by his campaign team.
The Vice President’s team contends that these reports and accusations are completely unfounded and untrue.
“We notice that the same narrative has been copied by some people and groups in Ghana on social media”, a statement from Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia’s aide, Dr. Gideon Boako, said.
“This narrative is obviously false, fabricated, and only serves the propaganda purposes of its promoters”, he noted, adding: “For the avoidance of doubt, the Bawumia Campaign has no funding or any linkage with any Islamic group in Nigeria or anywhere else”.
A Nigerian journalist named David Humdeyin made the initial accusations, claiming that the organization known as ACF was sending money to Ghana to support the vice president’s campaign.

Allegations of Islamic Funding for the Bawumia Campaign is False
The attention of the Bawumia Campaign Team has been drawn to a post by one David Humdeyin, a journalist in Nigeria, that the Bawumia Campaign is being funded by some Islamic group in Nigeria called the ACF.
We notice that the same narrative has been copied by some persons and groups in Ghana on social media.
This narrative is obviously false, fabricated, and only serves the propaganda purposes of its promoters.
For the avoidance of doubt, the Bawumia Campaign has no funding or any linkage with any Islamic group in Nigeria or anywhere else.
We also note that the said David Humdeyin has demonstrated a penchant for making similar claims against some persons and groups in Nigeria without any basis whatsoever.
The Bawumia Campaign is focused and will not be distracted by such vain untruths.
The Vice President, 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.
