Stop telling us lies just as your father told lies about EA Mahama but was later exposed. You were privileged from birth. These Kwaku Ananse stories will not persuade anybody.

He was member of the Northern People's Party and later the United Party.[2] He defected away from the United Party whilst still in parliament and cross-carpeted to the Convention People's Party in 1958.[3] After this, he served in a number of ministerial roles in the governments of Kwame Nkrumah. He was minister for works and housing, special development commissioner for development of Accra, deputy minister, northern regional minister and then a local government minister.

He was selected to be chief of Kperiga in present-day West Mamprusi District of the North East Region of Ghana. In 1978, he was made interim chairman of the management committee of the Cocoa Marketing Board. In 1988, the PNDC government appointed him as Ghana's Ambassador to Saudi Arabia. He was elected chairman of the Council of State from 1993 to 2000, thus becoming the first chairman of the council of state in the 4th Ghanaian Republic. His son Mahamudu Bawumia is the Vice-President of Ghana.[4][5]

Bawumia's father, Alhaji Mumuni Bawumia was a teacher, lawyer and politician, a Mamprugu Royal and Chief of the Kperiga Traditional Area at the time of his death in September 2002.

He was a founding member of the Northern Peoples' Party alongside Chief S. D. Dombo, Chief Abeifa Karbo, Yakubu Tali, the Tolon Naa, and J. A. Braimah, Kabachewura.[6][7]

The Northern Peoples Party, together with the National Liberation Movement and other opposition political parties, later merged into the United Party, the forebear of the current New Patriotic Party.[8]

Alhaji Bawumia served under various Ghanaian governments in various capacities, including member of the Northern Territories Council, the Gold Coast Legislative Assembly, a Member of Parliament of the First Republic, Northern Regional Minister, and Ambassador to Saudi Arabia.[9]

Alhaji Bawumia was awarded the high national honour of Member of the Order of the Star of Ghana in March 1999. He served as chairman of the Council of State, under the presidency of J. J. Rawlings from, 1993 to 2000 in the 4th republic.[10][11]

Bawumia has concocted stories just to come and deceive the same very persons he has made their lives a living hell in Ghana.Bawumia's father Alhaji Mumuni Bawumia was a minister in Kwame Nkrumah's government, a minister son can never be said to be a hustler, what he will call hustling,will be the level you are praying to attain someday. He has single handedly made your lives miserable there in Ghana today, the upsurge on prices on good and commodities, is due to his inability to stabilize the cedi to dollar rate,He robbed salt in your wounds by introducing E levy on any meagre momo transaction u make and also deducting money from the little money that u get fron betting on matches.The higher prices on fuel too which has made transports fares unbearable is also another factor for prices of every comodity skyrocketing and bringing misery to ur lives.He was entrusted with the responsibility of taken care of the economy as an economist, and so solely responsible for all the failings of the economy leading to your unprecedented sufferings there, those who lost their girlfriends and wives because of the suffering, should always remember the name Bawumia as the cause. Many lives have bn lost due to this same Bawumia and the hardship he has inflicted on you, he is never one of you and can never be, instead of them giving up their fat salaries and allowance for the mess they caused themselves, he rather brought you the already unemployed and poor persons,betting tax and E levy, how can such a person U turn to come and inform you that he cares and understand your suffering?

What a brilliant and far-reaching inspirational speech by Dr Bawumia to the youth of mother Ghana! Yet, Mahama talks about only "nkoko nketenkete", "akpele", "kenkey and kenam and "fly-away guinea-fowls", among others. Yet, it's generally known and established that man cannot live by bread alone in this modern technological world. Poor Mahama and his low-achieving NDC leadership! Together with their frequent insults and a series of hollow curses by their equally low-level followers!!

Hahahaha...!!!!!! Isn't it funny that, even Kennedy Agyapong of all people is not amused by all those gyimigyimi, bulubulu off-beat dancing by that clownish, Walewale Donkey?? Anyway... Bawumia's God is called Allah. He terribly hates Muslims who crazily eat pork and mingle with filthy homosexuals like NAPO PREMPEH. Allah has already cursed and disowned Bawumia. So, Bawumia should just pray that those filthy fetish rituals he underwent recently will yield some results for him. As for Allah, he's just waiting to disgrace that jocular, gyimigyimi, bulubulu, wagadrill, kwasia-kwasia, Walewale donkey

You even had your first degree outside and spent most of your years there and when you came back after so many years you went straight to the bank of Ghana to earn fat salaries and allowance.

Buckingham University is a private and expensive university in the rich and affluent suburbs of U.K.- Buckinghamshire. Your initial fees will pay for my full masters at many universities. Being a taxi driver or a support worker and schooling in the UK is normal. We all did it. Some of us were even washing cars or working in Lidl supermarket. Don’t blow it as if it was a massive struggle. You are from a rich and affluent family so you had some cushioning.

This will not move anybody to vote for you. If you want, you add that you were an undertaker or latrine carrier as we have in Ghana. It won't still add any votes to you.

All that foreign education, but still a chew and pour student. Couldn't even solve exchange rate fiasco he himself theoretically mentioned before he became President. Ghanaians should vote him out, because the guy can't solve practical problems and that's why Ghana is in a huge mess now. Ghanaians should end their sufferings now as they have clearly seen the biggest culprit of the economic mess. Vote Bawumia out, if he couldn't solve problems when he was head of the NPP ECONOMIC TEAM RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ECONOMY, THEN HOW ABOUT IF HES IN CHARGE OF THE WHOLE COUNTRY? WISE UP GHANAIANS

Stop the deceit, Mr. Vice President. Being a taxi driver in Canada is better than being an accountant in Ghana. You experienced no hardship in life.
Just stop the lies, it leads nowhere.

You may go back to the UK to understudy 24 hour economy . You told us you are a driver mate. Not knowing you are a taxi driver. Away with your lies.

Go tell that to the marines! You idiot of a liar! You ungrateful son! Alhaji Mumuni Bawumia was once CEO of CMB under Papa J after chairing the Council of State under Liman. Anyway, the last time I checked most taxi drivers in the UK earn more in a month than a university professor in Ghana earns in a year.
