The Vice President of Ghana, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, has alleged that the flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress, John Dramani Mahama, does not understand the 24-hour economy and thus urged Ghanaians to ignore him.
According to the Vice President, the policy is already in the system as hospitals and fuel companies, among others, operate a 24-hour system; due to that, it is nothing new.
He further stated that Ghanaians should ignore the former president in the 2024 election because he has nothing new to offer the country.
“John Mahama says he has a new idea. What is the idea? He says he wants a 24-hour economy. He doesn’t even understand that policy. Today in Ghana, our hospitals work 24 hours, our electricity company works 24 hours, our water company works 24 hours, our fuel stations work 24 hours, and many chop bars work 24 hours. Today because of digitalisation, you can transfer money 24 hours, you can receive money 24 hours… So he doesn’t understand his policy. It doesn’t make sense.”
He further solicited votes in the upcoming elections and vowed to implement new policies and visions.
“So I want you to vote for me in 2024 because I will bring a new vision, I will bring a new policy. Mahama is the past, Dr Bawumia is the future. If John Mahama was there, we would say we have a dumsor economy, you can’t have a 24-hour economy in dumsor. So, you want to vote for Dr Bawumia in 2024, we will take the country to new heights,” Dr Bawumia stated.
