This is what we call an issue-based campaign. What is wrong with promising to build Astro-turfs to promote sports in Ghana? Ghana is not prepared to go backwards with a second-hand president. You may not like it, but Bawumia is going to be the new president.

@Adanko Deka, morons like you and your fellow NPP freaks are the reason we are in the mess in which we all see ourselves now. Bawumliar claims they have built 150 AstroTurf to promote sports, as compared to the 3 they came to meet. Does any area of our sports sector look like it has been promoted under this government? Our national stadiums that were in good shape when this government took over are no longer fit for purpose and you are here glorifying mediocre and stupidity!

We have failed to take care of the old ones we have and many have been destroyed. So promising to build new ones given that we haven’t take good care of what we have already, is just as idiotic as Bawuliar himself. What are Bawumia’s real policies to rescue the economy? Heed the warning and don’t vote for this fool. He is just a fool. Ghana, think twice and be wise.

Stupid fool. He promised a sports stadium and airport for cape coast and up to date not a single block has been laid.

That's Bawuliar for you.

Mr. Vice President, places like Dumbai needs portable water and regular provision than an Astroturf. I have worked at Dumbai before and I know what l am talking about.
I remember Cattle, Sheep, Goats and Dogs drinking from the same water source that was created behind the Soccer field that was created when the place was dug for sand to build the Girls’ dormitories. It was horrible and nauseating. Mr. President, please take my suggestion.

So why is Bawumia so stupid? Is this a pressing need of Ghanaians? Why has he refused to speak about the economy and fundamentals of the economy? And the people following him di3, they can even eat shit.

Issue-based indeed! You're can sell this incompetent of a veep to us this time. You're are not even ashame of yourself after boasting in 2015-2016 about restoring the economy. Now look at what your incompetence and reckless mismanagement has done to the economy. What was the dollar in 2016 and what's it today.

Isn't it time to ask this man where the monies will come from to fulfil all the promises he's making in this campaign? As I understand it, people still have their hard earned savings locked up, and 37% of pensioners' eurobonds ($12b) have been confiscated by his government because under them the country is broke. Why are the other candidates not asking him this?

Dr. Bawumia is a thinker, and I say this because some people may not understand his objective: When he is president, every district in Ghana will have an Astroturf. This is what I understand his thinking to be. There is a unique relationship between education and sports. Dr. Bawumia knows this, and his focus is on the youth of Ghana and giving them a solid foundation. Education and activism go hand in hand, and Bawumia wants to capitalize on both. God is in Control and His Promises to the People of Ghana will never change. As for Dr. Bawumia continue on your path of humility, and God is the one who makes it happen. May God be with you and your family. God who does everything to be good for those who trust, love, and obey is here Praised. Amen!
