If the Flagbearer shoe is too big, step aside and stop making your usual childish, inexperienced, zero-economic Sense promises to Ghanaians- Alhaji Sinare Jabs Bawumia over Mobile phone on Credit promises
In a scathing critique, the NDC’s firebrand, H.E Alhaji Said Sinare, a prominent member of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has aimed Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the flagbearer hopeful of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), over his recent promises to Ghanaians.
At a campaign rally in Timber Market in the Odododiodo Constituency, Alhaji Sinare’s comments come after Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia’s announcement that, if elected, he would provide mobile phones to all Ghanaians on credit.
According to the National Chairman of the opposition National Democratic Congress Zongo Caucus Working Committee, Bawumia’s promises are nothing short of “childish, inexperienced, and economically nonsensical.” He argued that the Vice President’s proposals demonstrate a clear lack of understanding of the complexities of governance and the needs of the Ghanaian people.
“If the flagbearer shoe is too big, then step aside and stop making promises that you cannot fulfill,” Sinare said in a statement. “Ghanaians are not interested in empty promises and gimmicks. We need leaders who understand the challenges we face and have viable solutions to address them.”
Sinare questioned the feasibility of Bawumia’s mobile phone on credit promise, asking how the Vice President plans to fund such an initiative and what prevented him from implementing such policies since his government is in power.
The NDC stalwart also criticized Bawumia’s lack of clarity on key policy issues, saying that the Vice President’s campaign has been marked by “vagueness and ambiguity.” He challenged Bawumia to provide detailed policies on how he intends to address the country’s economic challenges, rather than resorting to “populist rhetoric.”
“Alhaji Timothy Bawumia, in his desperation, should provide a detailed account of his accomplishments, including the exact number of Ghanaians whose financial lives he has improved by opening bank accounts for them and the amount of cash he has deposited into the accounts as he promised, how he brought PayPal back to Ghana, the specific number of Metropolitan, Municipal, and District Chief Executives who have benefited from his touted One District, One Factory initiative, the precise allocation of the promised one million dollars per constituency annually, the number of young individuals whose rental burdens he has alleviated, and the villages he has transformed by constructing toilets and providing sustainable solutions to their water challenges, before assuming that Ghanaians will be naive enough to fall for his rhetoric once again.”
In conclusion, Sinare urged Ghanaians to be wary of Bawumia’s promises, saying that they should not be swayed by “sweet talk and empty promises.” He emphasized the need for a leader who is honest, experienced, and has a proven track record of delivery.
