General Secretary of the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) Johnson Asiedu Nketia has disclosed that the Running mate of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia could possibly not have been very successful in life as he is now, if it were not for the support he got from the NDC party.
According to him, the ruling party facilitated the education of the renowned Economist and Banker by granting him scholarship to study abroad.
Barely three months to the crucial general elections on December 7 which promises to be keenly contested among the two leading political parties (NDC & NPP), Dr Bawumia seems to intensify his attack on the performance of the Mahama-led administration each passing day.
He has described President John Mahama and his ministers as incompetent, accusing them of mismanaging the resources of the country and failing to ensure development that is commensurate with the amount of money that has come into state coffers.
But Hon. Johnson Asiedu Nketia has said Dr Bwumia cannot continue to attack NDC when the party made key contribution to his success in his life.
He noted that Dr Bawumia benefited immensely from the ruling party at a time that his late father, Alhaji Mumuni Bawumia served as the Chairman of the Council of State.
“Bawumia’s father joined virtually every political party that existed after independence, from the Northern Peoples Party, then when the minority parties came together to form the United Party (UP), he joined that party as well. He later joined the CPP and he became the District Commissioner. He further joined Dr Limann’s party where he was made the Minister for Cocoa Affairs. Until his death, he was the Chairman of the Council of State, under ex President J.J Rawlings and that is when he got scholarship for his son Mahamudu Bawumia to study abroad.”
He added: “Upon Bawumia’s return from abroad, Dr Kwabena Duffour was the Governor of the Bank of Ghana, and because of his father’s position he got a job at the Bank of Ghana where he was gradually promoted to become the deputy Governor of the Bank of Ghana. He is a true NDC person whom the NPP has taken as their running mate,” Asiedu Nketia noted.

Was it not the state money that was used to educate bawumia? abeg stop talking as if the money which was invested on bawumia was from the cofex of NDC forgetting is our own tax. Why is it by false to support the same party ur parents support. hasn't Konadu rawlings form her own party but yet is her daughter not an NDC member so where from these cheap talk and even u that rawlings fed for so many years what did he get in return. Ghanaians lets make sure to vote the NDC out cos per asiedu nketia's words is only the NDC's who get scholarships. Animguase ni barima te s3 wo
You are rather out of truth all in the name of politics so if ur fellow member is going wrong u will rather support him so surely u will say is cheap talk but u can clearly view what the general is saying and know the cheap talk here
I cannot believe what Asiedu Nketia is saying. He is a real comedian...haha. So if Kwabena Dufour was not at Bank of Ghana, Bawumia did qualify for a job there? This is a real joke. NDC hate the truth and Dr Bawumia, please tell it as it is.

So the npp can't take this opportunity n stretch for scores? A whole general secretary revealing this nuclear weapons for ddem to completely devour de ndc? Well, let me give dem just two clues n dey can decipher de rest n exploit: 1. The fact that de npp has given an 'ndc man' a key position, gives a clear information all inclusiveness dey trumpet. At least de evidence is here - even upto de second in command! 2. If 'a key ndc man' is seriously bruising dem of deir incompetence if should have credence! No one points de left hand in directing his Father's house! So inner circle guru like bawumia reveal de complete incompetence of mahama is enough to guide those who can't see. Npp, a lot of deductions can be made from dis loose talk of de comic politician so open ur eyes n ears. Gud luck, the npp.
Ebeii Asiedu Mosquito you and Rawlings who is old. Pls look at the two pictures? Mosquito who made you who you are as a people teacher? I is it not Rawlings and his wife? yet you ended up calling him a barking dog.If you come up with the info of giving Bawumia scholarship, was he selected out of tend or on merit. Pls give us a break and come again.
You Aseidu Nkietia what did you do to the mouth that fed you. JJ Rawlings and his family, after they fed you cloth you, Aseidu Nkiatia ended up calling the Fr. President JJ Rawlings a BARKING D0G.
