Remarks by Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia Regarding his Contender John Mahama During His Visit
I am very much guided by your advice and that advice is one that I have been implementing and sharing my ideas with the people of Ghana with no insult to anybody
Just my ideas and this is how I have been campaigning throughout. So that is the message we will be going around with. To tell Ghanaians what I am going to do as president and what we have done as a government to ask for the people’s support to go to the next level.
My main opponent… [and 1] are all your children. We are both from the North and he has been president before but I haven’t been president before. So, l have told him that he is my senior brother, and he should have patience for me so l can also become president of this country.
I will be able to be president for eight years, and he can only be president for four years, so if the presidency is coming home, then we should have it for eight years rather than four years. He remarked.
