Vice President Bawumia has boasted that his party is the best at giving Ghana’s thronging youth employment opportunities.
He claims that the NPP government’s policies have ensured that more jobs have been created and that unemployment has been significantly reduced.
Speaking on Saturday to the arty faithful in Mpraeso, Mr. Bawumia claimed that the NPP had produced more jobs than the NDC or any other administration, totaling over 2.1 million.
“The government has created 2.1 million jobs since assuming office in 2017,”
“During the NDC administration, there were no jobs, they created unemployment instead of employment but these days there are jobs everywhere. I have been looking at the data lately and we have created 2.1 million jobs.
“975, 000 are in the private sector, 1.2 million in the public sector, this is verifiable and identifiable data that is available. We are not done yet because there are more jobs for us to create. But when it comes to job creation, no government since Independence has created more jobs than the government of Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, anybody can challenge me and I will provide the data.
“But we want to do more, we want to get to the promised land. We can be a Dubai, we can a South Korea, we can a Singapore, it is possible.”
While this has been going on, many Ghanaians have questioned the Vice President’s employment statistics, which Sammy Gyamfi of the NDC has refuted with some information.
Meanwhile, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia has officially announced his intentions to become the next president of Ghana as he plans to run for the New Patriotic Party flagbearership race.
But, his announcement has been greeted with backlash from some Ghanaians after making it official via his Twitter page.
Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, Ghana’s vice president, has remained mum about rumors that he wants to succeed President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo as the country’s next leader.
Dr. Bawumia has not yet made a public statement about it, despite the fact that it has been out in the open and that prominent NPP members are running a concise campaign for the Vice President.
Most the tweeps made clear to Bawumia that there no way they are going to vote him to become the next President of Ghana even if his party elect him the Presidential candidate for NPP in 2024 general elections.
