I’m For An ‘All-Inclusive Development’ – Bawumia
NPP flagbearer, Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia says his core principle as a leader is to ensure all-inclusive policies to benefit every Ghanaian.
Speaking at Hohoe on Sunday October 20, 2024 during his campaign tour of the Volta Region, Dr. Bawumia said “my philosophy is one of broad-based, inclusive development for all”.
Dr. Bawumia continued; “I have been Vice President for the last eight years and as Vice President , I have worked with my President and as I said, my philosophy is one of broad-based development, so if you see the sort of policies that we have implemented over the last 8 years, you will understand what I mean by broad-based development.”
