Former Vice President and NPP flagbearer hopeful, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia
Former Vice President and New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer hopeful, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, has reaffirmed that his motivation for entering politics is rooted in service to the nation, not personal enrichment.
Speaking to delegates during his campaign tour of Amenfi West in the Western Region, Dr Bawumia highlighted the successful execution of the Mobile Money Interoperability project, stating that he is committed to transparency and prudent use of public resources.
According to him, the project serves as proof of cost-efficient governance under his watch.
“I entered politics to serve the people, not to enrich myself. When we initiated the Mobile Money Interoperability project, the NDC had proposed a contract worth $1.2 billion. We cancelled that deal and completed the entire project for just $4.5 million, not even up to $5 million. This initiative has greatly benefited Ghanaians and created thousands of jobs,” he said, as reported by citinewsroom.com.
Dr Bawumia further stated that his greatest satisfaction comes from seeing policies translate into real improvements in people’s lives.
“My greatest joy comes from seeing how these projects are transforming lives, not from personal gain. I am not in politics for money; I am here to make a difference in the lives of ordinary Ghanaians,” he added.
The Vice President’s remarks form part of his broader message of integrity and service as he continues to make his case to NPP delegates ahead of the party’s upcoming presidential primaries.
