Mahamudu Bawumia, Running Mate to Nana Akufo-Addo, has observed that President Mahama, through his actions and inactions, has soiled the Northern brand, which was known to be one of integrity and honesty, with corruption.

Speaking at Balungu in the Bongo constituency yesterday, Dr Bawumia urged the people of the North not to vote for Mr Mahama and the NDC because doing that will mean a continuation of the massive corruption and stealing that had been witnessed in the last 8 years.

“John Mahama’s government is the most corrupt government in the history of Ghana. Dollar for dollar, cedi for cedi, this government is the most corrupt in our history. And yet he tells the people of the North to vote for him because he is our brother. Why does your government steal from Northerners if you care for Northerners and why do you want us to give you another opportunity to steal more from the people you say you are trying to protect?”, he asked.

Nana Akufo-Addo’s Running Mate observed that as a result of the actions and inaction of the President, and the people close to him, he had damaged the long-held view that Northerners abhor corruption and are honest people.

He recalled Northerners of yesteryear and noted the diligence and integrity with which they selflessly and proudly served their people and worked in various capacities without any thought whatsoever about personal gains.
