They won't call this guy a drunk , somebody who runs away from their failure quickly and tag himself a mate, but when it comes to something good, then he suddenly becomes a driver, This guy was handpicked solely to come and make Ghana's economy, one of the best in West Africa, when he picked it, Ghana was only second to Nigeria, today Ghana has the worst economy in West Africa, he has totally failed, deceitfully beating about the bush, hiding behind the wheels of digitalization and stuff, and avoiding commenting on the things he was brought to come and do as an economist, 17 cedis to a dollar today, defaulted debt stock, inflation got to 55% under him, prices on goods and commodities have risen to about 500% in the past three years, fuel and spare parts prices are nothing to write home about, many drivers have ditched the job to go and do construction work, and still this shamless braggadocios being has the effrontery to come out and create hullabaloo .

I don't blame Timothy Bawumia for talking this nonsense all the time, I blame NDC communicators. Bawumia was brought into the NPP as an economic wizard. His MAIN mission was to resurrect Ghana's economic fortunes. He failed woefully. Whether Bawumia takes all Ghanaians to heaven or provides a house for every Ghanaian or promised Ghanaians a million dollars each, he is a failure. Ghana 's economy is junk. Surprisingly, NDC communicators allow him to be making noise everywhere. Even his own theory has exposed him. "If your economic fundamentals are weak the dollar will expose you".

If government owes MMDAs arrears in excess of hundreds of millions Cedis and parliament proposes it be used on capital investment, does that make it your idea, just because you chair some bogus committee? In any case, are you no longer a driver's mate? Since when did Akufo-Addo find you worthy enough to hand you the steering wheel?

Bawumia said he is the brainchild of DRIP, but what is the NDC saying now? We all know that before Nana Akufo-Addo's NPP government, we had issues in our Northern Region, but it took the NPP to bring Peace and Mahama is from the North. Why did it have to be Bawumia and the NPP to digitize Ghana? I will tell you why, It is because the NPP knows how to deliver. If we want development, we must vote for the NPP. They sew and ought to gather. Why should the NDC gather what they have not sewn?
