NPP flagbearer Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has promised to develop an Airport City in Manhyia North, modeled after Accra’s Airport City, if elected president.
Wrapping up the third day of his Ashanti Region tour on Wednesday, Dr. Bawumia spoke to supporters about his commitment to this project, highlighting his experience with the Kumasi and Tamale airport developments.
We want to establish an Airport City here in Manhyia North so that you will gain some benefits. I led the negotiations concerning this airport with the UK government… So just as we have an Airport City in Accra, we want to have one here in Kumasi
He urged voters to support his presidential bid, adding,
If you vote for me, by the grace of God, I can be president for eight years, and I will come back here and give accounts of my work
Promote me and let me be the president. Give me the steer and let me drive,
he said.
