Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia and flag bearer for the NPP has made claims Promising Ghanaians that when he is elected to lead the country he would be a president for all Ghanaians irrespective of their faith or ethnicity.
He repeated this pledge to the multitude of delegations from various ethnic groupings from the Zongo communities and inner cities who called on him at his residence in Accra to congratulate and express solidarity with him ahead of the 2024 general elections.
He told his guests that before announcing his readiness to vie for the flagbearership of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), he consulted both Christian and Islamic clergymen to pray for him.
“They did and God listened to their prayers,” he said. The next battle is the 2024 elections, which he said requires the prayers of the clergymen in Christianity and Islam, as they did before.
According to the Vice President, he is seeking the presidency to serve the needs of his compatriots regardless of their ethnic, faith or political lineages.
“I am in politics not to seek my personal interests but to serve my compatriots by ensuring equitable distribution of developments. I am for the prevalence of unity in the country. This unity I would continue to work for because I dislike disunity,” he said.
Dr. Bawumia pointed at the restlessness in neighbouring countries, situations which he added Ghana has been spared thanks to God.
Unity and interfaith harmony are two critical factors he said he would continue to champion when given the nod to lead the country.
