Simply by: Chief Obosu MohammedIn continuity, we will demonstrate the unique talents and the added advantage of the particular candidature of Dr . Mahamudu Bawumia to the NPP’s electoral fortunes as far as the 2024 general election is concerned. The particular ‘Samira Bawumia Effect’One from the greatest assets and power to the candidature of Doctor Mahamudu Bawumia is their beloved and awe-inspiring husband or wife, Alhajia Samira Bawumia, that has over the years proven to be a stone around not just his achievement but also to the NPP as well as its electoral fortunes. Again, seldom do we see spouses of Presidential candidates or even their running-mates engage in the particular rigorous grassroot politicking to be done by Alhajia Samira Bawumia. Her strong urge for food for grassroots politics offers seen her traverse all of our country and build relationships rural and urban dwellers especially amongst the minority settlers canvassing for votes for the party Parliamentary and President candidates. She is eloquent and it has mastery of political conversation which she has consistently used to move crowds on larger campaign platforms – a good example of such a trait is the girl “we see you” talk at our last move at the Trade fair Center in the crucial 2016 polls which shook the fundamentals of the NDC and hot the political atmosphere at that time. She will offer impetus to some Bawumia ticket which will be helpful to the party going forward because it has been the case with previous elections. The ‘Bawumia Effect’ – CompetenceWith respect, certainly not has our nation observed the kind of vibrancy, teamwork plus activeness of any Vice President at least in the fourth republic as we have seen along with Dr . Mahamudu Bawumia. Their creative thinking and creativity in driving policies that will seeks to place Ghana in a competitive edge among the girl peers is admirable. It is going to amount to incompetence to latch him with failure so far as the delivery of our economic climate and other social policies are worried. He is largely credited along with leading the government’s attempts in formalising our economic climate through digitalization. Though Ghana is not yet there, nevertheless , we are certainly better-off compared to we were yesterday due to a few of the strategic inputs of Doctor Mahamudu Bawumia. It is not astonishing that notable leaders in each sphere of our national living including President Nana Akufo Addo and former Leader John Agyekum Kufuor constantly extol his credentials as well as the meaningful impacts that he is constantly on the exude for the benefit of the country men and women. Indeed, the particular living colossus and prestigious statesman, President John Agyekum Kufuor is quoted to get said in one of their many speeches reposing their confidence in the Veep that will “…the nation must depend itself fortunate to have this type of son as Alhaji. Doctor Mahamudu Bawumia who deservingly fits the role from the needed analyst. He is a good Economist, Banker and also a Accountable Politician who has a lot of experience…”. The historical provenance from the Ghanaian politics has always been characterized by what we describe being an issue-based politics which has been about the progress of Ghana and the welfare of its individuals. On the same stretch, our national politics was not spared by our own political opponents, who within expressing their sheer irritation against issues-based politics, had been so convinced about delivering in their party constitution the particular election of a propaganda Admin, a position which they struggled in order to abandon, but eventually do so reluctantly. Dr . Bawumia arguably succeeded in reshaping and reintroducing into the talk of our body-politics once again a problem based and intellectually revitalizing politicking. He has consistently ‘boxed’ our main opponents, the particular NDC, into the ‘intellectual corner’ much to their discomfort simply by getting them to stick to related issues that affect our economic climate. Till date, the NDC is still struggling to install a purposeful challenge towards Dr . Mahamudu Bawumia regarding most of his remarks – indeed, facts and information which are his greatest weaponry has generated him directly into becoming their ‘tormentor-in-chief’. Detest or loathe him, Ghanaians have come to appreciate his splendour through his series of classes dubbed by many as ‘Economics 101’, and more importantly, the particular dexterity with which he is able to demystify certain economic jargons towards the understanding of the least educated within society. Aside Dr . Bawumia having the competence to continue within the transformational path and heritage of President Akufo-Addo, he’s proven to be a thorn within the flesh of the NDC together with his intellectual approach to our nationwide discourse and taking the ‘fight’ to their doorstep. Most Valuable with a National AppealThe poorest amongst the arguments being canvassed by critics of Doctor Mahamudu Bawumia is to promote him as politically unskilled. If having been a running-mate for a major political celebration like ours on four different elections and getting helped immensely to earn 2 of those general polls to become a Vice President helping in a 2nd term is just not a political experience sufficient to become a President, then it begs the question, what is political encounter? It only takes a political newbie to advance or agree to this type of fallacious commentary. Dr . Mahamudu Bawumia has a mountainous plus unmatched pedigree in terms of marketability and national appeal. Certainly, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia has turned into a household name in Ghana – having traversed the space and breadth of our nation canvassing for votes within the past 11years. Averagely, he has crisscrossed the country not less than twice just before both internal Presidential primaries and the general elections. It is very important emphasise that he has made an appearance on campaign posters, advertisements, billboards etc alongside along with President Nana Akufo Addo since 2008 – never to talk of his widespread mass media coverage and appearances. This kind of is an enviable and unsurpassed credentials that can’t end up being downplayed. Dr . Mahamudu Bawumia with his national appeal plus charisma will make the job associated with ‘beating’ any NDC challenger in 2024 much easier compared to presenting a totally new applicant who does not come with each one of these many added advantages. He has the national appeal which slashes across ethnicity, religion plus persons of all ages and sex. Though a Muslim, he has constantly promoted and become a symbol associated with religious tolerance in our country – He offers people of the Christian faith plus their clergy due acknowledgement as he is often seen going to their programs in the same manner, he or she carries on with people of their Islamic faith. This has endeared him to a tremendous assistance from people of all spiritual faith. Loyalty and DedicationDr. Mahamudu Bawumia has considering that his emergence onto the particular national political space continued to be a true blue – via thick and thin, they have shown fidelity to the training course by being there for the celebration and its flagbearer at every materials time. It is by no means the coincidence that he has at all times enjoyed the support from the party and the President specifically for choosing him in four consecutive elections to be their own running mate – this is a testament of the confidence these people repose in him to get his dedication, loyalty plus value addition to the program. As a technocrat of worldwide repute, he did not get out of the party to seek their personal interest when it considered most – we noticed how he worked unceasingly during the 2012 election request and by so doing getting its star witness throughout those difficult moments which usually redefined the elections of our own country – it was via some of his efforts plus sacrifice that our country could undertake some major electoral reforms which has bear fruit for all of us all as citizens nowadays. Our party is one that will rewards hard work and compromise, and we won’t be failing to remember too soon its dedicated maids. ConclusionThere is certainly a lot to express on the attributes of Doctor Mahamudu Bawumia in regard to the electoral advantage. However , using this little background, one can not be oblivious of the fact that he signifies our best choice as the following lead-servant of our party once we prepare for the elections associated with 2024. He has what it takes in order to win a general election and also to govern a nation. For a few of us, leadership such as our bait is not borne-out of a intended ‘queuing proposition’ or a good ‘entitlement theory’ but should be anchored on who has the competitive edge to utilize political power for us in a given time – an innovator who is compassionate, magnanimous, attractive to all, has great humbleness, selfless with the sense associated with service, able to unite the particular party, has tremendous enjoy for the party and nation, people-centred with an exceptional human being relation, an enviable electoral track record and most importantly, the visionary to help transform plus engineer prosperity to all. We have to endeavour to send a positive transmission to the generality of Ghanaians that ours is a celebration that embraces and offers in order to all – a party that will guarantees that irrespective of your creed, ethnicity, gender plus faith, they can still increase to the number one spot from the party – a party which the daughter or son of a farmer through Fumbisi in the Upper Eastern region can have the wish that they too with a dint of hard work can at some point rise to the apex from the leadership. May we end up being guided by the eternal soul of S. D Dombo of blessed memory to learn when to deny our personal personal interest and compromise for the collective good of most.
