Adopt mindset of possibilities – Bawumia

The Vice President and flagbearer of the New Patriot­ic Party (NPP), Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, has urged Ghanaians to adopt a mind­set of possibilities, unlocking their “can-do” spirit to drive economic growth and transformation.

Addressing thousands of party faithful, who participated in the ‘Mega Ofie Walk’ at the Mampong Coronation Park, in the Eastern Region, Dr Bawumia emphasised the importance of embracing a positive mindset in achieving success.

The walk, organised by the par­liamentary candidate for Akuapim North, Samuel Awuku, was aimed at kick-starting his campaign to win the Akuapim North parlia­mentary seat and entrench the UP-tradition’s dominance in the constituency.

Dr Bawumia criticised the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) for dismissing innovative proposals by the NPP, only to later turnaround to claim ownership when they succeed.

“We must develop a mindset of possibilities, generating ideas that will drive Ghana’s future economic fortunes,” he said.

“Unlike our opponents in the NDC, who are myopic in ideas and think our ingenious proposals are impossible, we have proven them wrong. Today, the free SHS we promised Ghanaians, which they vehemently opposed, is up and running. The drone distribution of medicines to hospitals is in full force. They (NDC) kicked against One-District One-Factory, and today it is working,” Dr Bawumia noted.

He encouraged Ghanaians to shift their focus from limitations, a key character of the NDC, to possibilities, embracing innovation, creativity, and hard work.

“When we believe in ourselves and our abilities, we can overcome any obstacle and achieve great­ness,” Dr Bawumia said.

The Vice President told the energetic crowd that the NPP will continue to think and initiate inno­vative ideas that will spur economic growth and bring prosperity to the people of Ghana, underscoring the future of Ghana’s energy needs.

He announced plans to reduce energy cost by 50 per cent through solar by adding 2000 megawatts of solar power to the country’s energy generation mix while also introduc­ing electric transport systems to reduce public transport costs by 40 per cent.

Dr Bawumia also promised dig­ital skills training for one million youth, a new tax policy, and simpli­fied passport applications using the Ghana Card.

“With your Ghana Card, you won’t need to fill out a passport application form. Just pay the pass­port fee, and your passport will be printed since we already have your biometric details,” he said.

Mr Awuku, highlighted the significance of the 2024 polls, emphasising the choice between progress and stagnation.

He said “elections shape the future and carry profound impli­cations. “A vote for the NDC is a vote for retrogression.”

Mr Awuku said: “The NPP will reverse the solid foundations laid by the party, as has always been the case. We appreciate the difficulties Ghanaians are going through, but trust Dr Bawumia to turn things around by virtue of the ingenious policies he will introduce in the next government.”

He said Ghana was very lucky to have had the best pair of hands to manage the economy during the difficult situation orchestrated by COVID-19 and the Russia-Ukraine war.

The National Chairman of the NPP, Stephen Ayesu Ntim; the Chairman of the NPP Eastern Region, Jeff Konadu; the Eastern Regional Minister, Seth Acheam­pong, and the National Women’s Organiser of the party, Kate Gyamfua, took part in the walk.

Others were Nana Osei Agyei, NPP parliamentary candidate for New Juaben North, Michael Okyere Baafi, NPP parliamentary candidate for New Juaben South, and Deputy Minister of Trade and Industry, and Abena Osei Asare, Minister of State at the Finance.
