‘I Understand Your Concerns’ – Bawumia Assures Ghanaian Youth | Politics

NPP presidential candidate, Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has assured young people in the country that he is best placed to understand their concerns having had extensive engagements with them over the years.

Addressing young Ghanaians at an event in Accra on Sunday, Dr. Bawumia said he is inspired by the ingenuity of the Ghanaian youth and it will be one of his top priorities to better their lives when he becomes Ghana’s next President.

“Over this year alone, through my youth connect and other forums across the country, I have engaged with you, the youth, and listened to your fears, concerns and aspirations.”

“I have been inspired by the ingenuity and the can-do spirit of the Ghanaian youth. When I say to you today that your concerns and aspirations are my top priority items, I mean it from every sinew of my body.”
“Indeed, I have been consistent right from the onset in making the destiny of the youth of Ghana my utmost priority”, Dr. Bawumia said.

Dr.. Bawumia reiterated; “I have my own vision and my own priorities. Given the opportunity by you, the people of Ghana, to lead, I shall govern as my own man with guidance from God Almighty. My vision is to build an inclusive, food self-sufficient, job-generating, data-driven and systems-based nation that will fully participate in the global digital revolution to solve our problems and also usher in a golden age of benefits from our natural resources. I want to lead a nation that improves and unleashes the talents of our youth and offers good jobs with good pay, and sustainable growth with macroeconomic discipline.

“As the presidential candidate of the New Patriotic Party, this is my commitment to the youth of Ghana. The talent of our youth in various sectors such as information technology, robotics, entrepreneurship, creative arts, sports, etc. is just amazing. When we bring the talents of the youth together, we will surely build a mighty nation. Together, we can transform this nation and do even more, in many areas. I therefore invite the youth, particularly the ‘GenZs’ to join me in this journey of great possibilities. I have a place for you.”
Dr. Bawumia further assured the youth that in line with his true quest for inclusivity, he “wants to ensure that the specific needs of young people are sufficiently addressed by my government, if given the mandate because I see that as vital if we are serious about making a difference in the long term”.

“If you elect me as your next President, I promise to involve you, the young people of Ghana in the formal political processes, for your voices to be heard and your ideas drafted into formulating policies of government”, he pledged.
