The Vice President and NPP flagbearer, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, reminded the people of Obuasi how AngloGold Ashanti collapsed during the leadership of former President Mahama.
While addressing a large crowd on Tuesday during his tour of the Obuasi East Constituency, Dr. Bawumia pointed out the decline of several sectors under former President Mahama, who served from 2012 to 2017. He cited various institutions and initiatives that, according to him, collapsed during Mahama’s leadership.
Among these, he highlighted AngloGold Ashanti, which ceased operations in Ghana in 2014 due to significant financial losses, but was reopened in 2019 under the NPP government.
I am going into this election against someone who has been President before – former President Mahama,
Dr Bawumia told the crowd.
During his time as President, he told us the country was broke under his watch, and because of that, so many things went wrong. He couldn’t provide for Ghanaians, and he cancelled numerous initiatives
Didn’t AngloGold Ashanti collapse during his presidency? AngloGold left, and the company folded. It took us, the NPP, to bring it back. It was under our leadership that we revived it
he said.
Dr. Bawumia asserted that the revival of AngloGold, which had shut down under the NDC and Mahama, was a clear example of the NPP’s superior governance, especially in comparison to the NDC’s record under Mahama’s administration.
We have done far better, and he cannot match us in any sector. We have created more jobs, revived more companies, built more schools, constructed more airports, public libraries, and much more
