The flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, has stated again that the NPP is far ahead of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) when it comes to who has developed the nation better.
Addressing community leaders and supporters in Tema during his campaign tour of the Greater Accra Region, Dr. Bawumia stated that data available indicates that the NPP has performed better than the NDC in every sector in terms of development.
He said: “If you look at performance, sector by sector, we have performed better. Whether it is agriculture, we have done better. Whether it is industry, we have done better.
“Whether it is jobs, we have created 2.1 million jobs. It is still not enough, but that is more than any government in the 4th Republic. Whether it is roads, we have done better. Whether it is railways, we have done better; hospitals, we have done better; interchanges, we have done better; classrooms and schools, we have done better; sports facilities, we have done better.
“There is not a single area that you can point to, that you will say this government has not performed better than the previous one. And I challenge them because I am a man of data. I speak only with data.
“When I say we have done better, I have the data to support it. And this is why the former President doesn’t want to debate me because he knows he doesn’t have the data.
“He can make statements on political platforms where nobody will challenge him, but he cannot make them in front of me. He cannot.”
